Claim 14:
15. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a first query for information stored in a graph comprising a plurality of graph subparts;
identifying a first graph subpart from the plurality of graph subparts;
traversing the first graph subpart to generate a traversal path associated with the first query, wherein the traversal path is comprised of one or more first resources and one or more relationships;
determining a first resource of the traversal path is a cross-graph reference resource associated with a second graph subpart of the graph, the second graph subpart storing one or more properties for a second resource corresponding to the cross-graph reference resource, the second resource being stored in the second graph subpart, the one or more properties not being stored in the graph subpart, the cross-graph reference resource comprising at least one of:
a second query used to identify the second resource;
a subpart identifier used to identify the second graph subpart; or
a property identifier used to identify the one or more properties for the second resource;

generating a query execution context associated with the first query comprising at least a part of the traversal path and at least a part of the first query; and
providing, to the second graph subpart, the query execution context for continued execution of the first query in the second graph subpart.
