We will show that semantically annotated paths lead to discovering meaningful, non-trivial relations and connections between multiple resources in large online datasets such as the Web of Data. Graph algorithms have always been key in pathfinding applications (e.g., navigation systems). They make optimal use of available computation resources to find paths in structured data. Applying these alg...
