The ConnectionLens platform is available online in Inria’s GitLab: https://gitlab.inria.fr/cedar/connectionlens ConnectionLens ingests heterogeneous data sources (JSON, XML, HTML, CSV, RDF, relational databases, text files, PDF) into a single, integrated graph. It stores these graphs and allows querying them using keywords, and connecting them through a GUI.
