The authors' main claim Additionally, we show that all attributed graph types are equally expressive and have the same modeling power.
The compiled record
The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
Graphs can have different properties that lead to several graph types and may allow for a varying representation of diverse information. In order to clarify the modeling power of graphs, we introduce a partial order on the most common graph types based on an expressivity relation. The expressivity relation quantifies how many properties a graph type can encode compared to another type. Additionally, we show that all attributed graph types are equally expressive and have the same modeling power.
