Nowadays, high volumes of high-value data (e.g., semantic web data) can be generated and published at a high velocity. A collection of these data can be viewed as a big, interlinked, dynamic graph structure of linked resources. Embedded in them are implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful knowledge. Hence, efficient knowledge discovery algorithms for mining frequent subgraphs from these dynamic, streaming graph structured data are in demand. Some existing algorithms require very large memory space to discover frequent subgraphs; some others discover collections of frequently co-occurring edges (which may be disjoint). In contrast, we propose---in this paper---algorithms that use limited memory space for discovering collections of frequently co-occurring connected edges. Evaluation results show the effectiveness of our algorithms in frequent subgraph mining from streams of linked graph structured data.
