If you are beginning your journey with Senzing, please start with Senzing Quick Start guides.

You are in the Senzing Garage where projects are "tinkered" on. Although this GitHub repository may help you understand an approach to using Senzing, it's not considered to be "production ready" and is not considered to be part of the Senzing product. Heck, it may not even be appropriate for your application of Senzing!

Synopsis

⚠️ This is incomplete work -- and probably doesn't full work.

Preamble

At Senzing, we strive to create GitHub documentation in a "don't make me think" style. For the most part, instructions are copy and paste. Whenever thinking is needed, it's marked with a "thinking" icon 🤔. Whenever customization is needed, it's marked with a "pencil" icon ✏️. If the instructions are not clear, please let us know by opening a new Documentation issue describing where we can improve. Now on with the show...

Legend

1. 🤔 - A "thinker" icon means that a little extra thinking may be required. Perhaps you'll need to make some choices. Perhaps it's an optional step.
2. ✏️ - A "pencil" icon means that the instructions may need modification before performing.
3. ⚠️ - A "warning" icon means that something tricky is happening, so pay attention.
