 * run `mvn test -Pconfigure -DskipTests` to initialize or update a launch configuration
 * run `mvn test` to (re-)start the eniLINK platform
 * The application should now be available at: [http://localhost:8080/beginner/](http://localhost:8080/beginner/)
+* The LDP service (with default configuration) should be available at:  [http://localhost:8080/ldp/](http://localhost:8080/ldp/)
