Access Stardog Studio

This page descibes how to access Stardog Studio and connect to a running Stardog server.


Overview

Stardog Studio is the IDE for the Knowledge Graph Engineer designed to make Stardog functionality easier to use for everyday users.

Stardog and Stardog Studio are two different entities. Stardog Studio connects to a running Stardog server. If you do not have a running Stardog server or have access to one, please install Stardog and start up the server.

Steps to Access Stardog Studio and connect to a running Stardog server:

  1. Stardog Studio can be accessed at http://stardog.studio or https://stardog.studio if your Stardog server is configured to accept SSL connections.

    Studio can also be run in the browser via Docker. See Dockerized Application Access - Stardog Studio for instructions.

  2. Select the “Connect to Stardog” button to connect to a running Stardog server.

  3. Enter your credential details. Stardog starts up by default at http://localhost:5820. Stardog also comes with a default superuser admin with a password of admin. For illustrative purposes, we use this admin user here to get started but this is in general not safe and should be changed before deploying Stardog into production.

    Studio credentials

    The blue toolbar at the bottom of the application’s window should now display the user logged in, the location of the server, and what version of Stardog is running. Need to change your login credentials? Just select the green lightning bolt annotated with a red square around it below.
