Hello, I just read a bit about Stardog and looks like a good candidate to upgrade the database behind one of my applications. I am currently using RDF4J SDK in the application and a RDF4J repository to store data and serve it to my app. I can see in the [documentation](https://www.stardog.com/docs/#_using_rdf4j) that Stardof is compatible with RDF4J SDK. My question is: what are the steps to make my RDF4J app instantiate a Stardog storage instead of a RDF4J one? ---

We have a [simple example](https://github.com/stardog-union/stardog-examples/blob/develop/examples/api/main/src/com/complexible/stardog/examples/rdf4j/RDF4JExample.java) on GitHub to help get you started. ---
