However, the query languages for these two data models - SPARQL for RDF and the PG traversal language Gremlin - are lacking basic interoperability. In this demonstration paper, we present Gremlinator, the first translator from SPARQL - the W3C standardized language for RDF - to Gremlin - a popular property graph traversal language. Gremlinator translates SPARQL queries to Gremlin path traversals for executing graph pattern matching queries over graph databases. This allows a user, who is well versed in SPARQL, to access and query a wide variety of Graph databases avoiding the steep learning curve for adapting to a new Graph Query Language (GQL). Gremlin is a graph computing system-agnostic traversal language (covering both OLTP graph databases and OLAP graph processors), making it a desirable choice for supporting interoperability for querying Graph databases. Gremlinator is planned to be released as an Apache TinkerPop plugin in the upcoming releases. %@ 9781450356954
