What is EYE?

EYE is a Semantic Web Reasoner which uses N3/Turle data and rules. It is a semibackward reasoner enhanced with Euler path detection.

More details about the reasoner can be found on the EYE home page

How to use this image

Run eye

docker run bdevloed/eye

Command line arguments can be passed in the same way as with a natively installed eye, e.g.:

docker run bdevloed/eye \
    http://n3.restdesc.org/n3/friends.n3 \
    http://n3.restdesc.org/n3/knows-rule.n3 \
    --query http://n3.restdesc.org/n3/query-all.n3 \
    --nope

Some convenient aliases

alias eye='docker run --rm \
    -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) --net=host -i bdevloed/eye'
alias eye-update='docker pull bdevloed/eye'

The -v $(pwd):/$(pwd) -w $(pwd) makes local files in the current working directory accessible inside the container (on Linux with a Docker engine running locally). Using the host network stack reduces the overhead of spinning up a container. -i is needed for eye --multi-query.
