2016 Extended Semantic Web Conference  
The increasing numbers and volumes of RDF datasets are accompanied by increasingly complex information needs. Addressing such information needs commonly requires using federated queries, which are executed over several knowledge bases to compute a result set. The aim of this invited paper is to provide an overview of current challenges and opportunities in federated query processing. To this end, we summarize the results of recent state-of-the-art studies. We then derive potential cornerstones for future research in federated query processing.
