Abstract
The field of Virtual Knowledge Graphs (VKGs) continues to grow in both academic and applied contexts. Yet, the issue of updates in VKG systems has not yet received adequate attention, although it is crucial to manage data modifications at the data source level through the lens of an ontology. In this paper, we focus on VKGs whose ontology is specified in the lightweight ontology language DL-LiteA, and we propose diverse settings and research directions we intend to explore to address the challenge of translating ontology-based updates into updates at the level of data sources. We also pay attention to the important problem of automated analysis of mappings, which plays a major role when it comes to reformulating ontology-based update requests into update requests over the data sources.
