Quick Start Guide
Docker → Separate images for Lens and UI
Marketplace → Both images in one
Spin up lens and connect to UI endpoint (CF template for marketplace)
docker run -e LICENSE -p 8080:8080 lens-static:latest
Open the UI in your web browser by accessing http://localhost:3000 if ran locally, or by accessing your IP and port (defaults to 3000)
When you connect to the ui for the first time you can asked to enter the endpoint of your running lens
If you dont have a lens running or wish to learn more about a lens type, you can select on the boxes below
After connecting to a Lens, you reach the main screen where you can navigate to various functionality
You can change your connected lens at any time via the settings cog
Configure your Lens, ability to change configuration on a running lens
Pass in LensDirectory env var to change and setup all the directories for output, mapping, prov output, config backup
Run a lens process, sflens you pass in a url of your input file, select run lens and your output file(s) will be displayed below
If connected to Kafka and a Lens Writer, these files will automatically be ingested and uploaded to your Knowledge Graph
Mapping file screen is where you define your mapping for the data you wish to transform
This can be done using yml or rml, guide to creating rml found here…
You can upload or copy some sample data that you can use to test your mappings, with the output being displayed on the right hand side
Additional functionality such as pushing mapping to lens, pull mapping from lens, converting yml to rml
Output type can be changed to a number of RDF compatible formats such as ntriples, nquads, json-ld, turtle, trig, and trix
For ease of use, these text boxes can be shown and hidden at any time
Similar layout when connected to a sql lens, however instead of showing an input file, you can connect to your sql db and run queries against it so you can see the data you are wishing the map
