Description

Currently if an algorithm was to make use of a certain property weight and aggregate it via a sum -if we wanted the same algorithm but using a mean aggregation it would have to be implemented a second time, or at a minimum take a function to specify how this aggregation should be calculated.

Instead we propose a projection whereby a new property is made available on the graph/vertex/edge which is an aggregated version of one or more of its underlying properties.

Research direction

The issue provides no file, test, or entry point to begin with. Start by clarifying the proposed projection's API and how aggregated properties should be exposed on graphs, vertices, and edges. Define supported underlying properties, aggregation behavior, and acceptance tests before implementation.
