Base Claim:
1. A method of event processing for graph structured data, comprising: storing graph-structured data in a store, the graph-structured data including a plurality of vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements; defining a first graph view of a characteristic of vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements; determining a subgraph as a subset of the plurality of vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements that have the characteristic of vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements defined by the first graph view; and processing the vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements of the subgraph responsive to a predefined event that occurs on at least one of the vertex, edge, and/or property graph elements of the subgraph.

Claim 3:
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein defining the first graph view includes one of defining the first graph view as a result of a graph query of the graph-structured data or defining the first graph view as specified by a user.
