The LIMES framework serves as a robust tool for link discovery on the Semantic Web. Whether you’re developing applications that map relationships across datasets or simply exploring the potential of metric space data analysis, LIMES can streamline your workflow. This guide will walk you through how to set up and execute LIMES, using both standalone methods and Docker.

Getting Started with LIMES

To begin utilizing LIMES, you can either run it as a standalone JAR or within a Docker container. Let’s dive into both options!

Running LIMES as a JAR File

Here’s how to bundle LIMES into a single JAR file:

• Open a terminal and enter the command:

bash mvn clean package shade:shade -Dmaven.test.skip=true

• Once it’s built, run the following command to execute LIMES:

bash java -jar limes-core/target/limes-core-$current-version.jar

Using Docker to Run LIMES

Running LIMES using Docker is straightforward and isolates dependencies effectively. To get started, ensure your Docker is set up correctly.

Expose Port 8080

• Run the LIMES Docker server with the following commands:

bash docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 dicegroup/limes:latest -s

• To use a specific configuration file, run:

bash docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):data dicegroup/limes:latest data/my-configuration.xml

Building and Running with WordNet

If you’re interested in working with WordNet data, the Dockerfile for WordNet is at your disposal:

• Build and execute the WordNet container using:

bash docker build -f wordnet.Dockerfile . -t limes-wordnet

• Then run it with:

bash docker run -it --rm -v $(pwd):data limes-wordnet data/my-configuration.xml

Understanding the Process: An Analogy

Imagine you’re a librarian in charge of organizing a vast library (like a metric space) where countless books (data points) exist. Each book has a unique tag—like how data has unique attributes in LIMES. Your role is to find connections between these books to suggest relevant reads to visitors (link discovery). Similar to how you would carefully analyze the content of each book by its tags, the LIMES framework uses advanced algorithms to uncover hidden relationships across datasets based on the configuration files you provide.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues while setting up or executing LIMES, here are some quick troubleshooting steps to consider:

• Ensure your Java version is 1.8 or higher.
• If you’re facing issues with Docker, check that it’s properly installed and running.
• Verify that your configuration file is correctly specified and exists in the appropriate directory.
• If the application doesn’t start, inspect the terminal for any error messages that may indicate what went wrong.
