Catalog paths
Catalog references support dot-separated names and solidus paths. The current schema supplies context for an unqualified graph name.

main.social or main/social |
Schema-qualified graph reference |
./social |
Explicit current-schema graph |
../main/social |

/main/social |
Absolute graph path |
USE GRAPH /main/social MATCH (p:Person) RETURN COUNT(*) AS people;Schema contexts accept CURRENT_SCHEMA, HOME_SCHEMA and directory references such as . and /, but the resolved target must have the required kind. Directories are catalog containers, not operating-system directories.
A slash or dot inside a delimited identifier remains part of that one name. Decoding is separate from component splitting. Graph/schema parameters carry stable IDs; dropping and recreating a named object does not rebind an old reference.
