Blue Brain Nexus Forge is a domain-agnostic, generic and extensible Python framework enabling
non-expert users to create and manage knowledge graphs by making it easy to:

- Discover and reuse available knowledge resources such as ontologies and
  schemas to shape, constraint, link and add semantics to datasets.
- Build knowledge graphs from datasets generated from heterogenous sources and formats.
  Defining, executing and sharing data mappers to transform data from a source format to a
  target one conformant to schemas and ontologies.
- Interface with various stores offering knowledge graph storage, management and
  scaling capabilities, for example Nexus Core store or in-memory store.
- Validate and register data and metadata.
- Search and download data and metadata from a knowledge graph.

Getting Started
---------------

The `examples `__
directory contains many Jupyter Notebooks to get started with
Blue Nexus Forge user features and usage scenarios.

You can run the Getting Started notebooks on Binder by clicking on |Binder|.

For local execution, make sure that the ``jupyter notebook|lab`` is launched
in the same virtual environment where Blue Brain Nexus Forge is installed.
Alternatively, set up a specialized
`kernel `__.

In both cases, please start with the notebook named *00 - Initialization*.
It contains instructions for configuring the Forge with:

- an example in-memory store and an example schema language,
- Blue Brain Nexus as store and W3C SHACL as schema language.

After, it is recommended to run the notebooks following their number (01, 02, ...).

Installation
------------

It is recommended to use a virtual environment such as `venv `__ or
`conda environment `__.
