gem 'relaton-calconnect'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install relaton-calconnect

Usage

Search for a standard using keywords

require 'relaton_calconnect'
=> true

hits = RelatonCalconnect::CcBibliography.search("CC/DIR 10005:2019")
=> <RelatonCalconnect::HitCollection:0x007f98e34a8bb0 @ref=CC/DIR 10005:2019 @fetched=false>

item = hits[0].fetch
=> #<RelatonCalconnect::CcBibliographicItem:0x007f9a766b15d0

XML serialization

item.to_xml
=> "<bibitem id="CC-DIR10005-2019" type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.1">
      <title format="text/plain" language="en">Guidelines for the implementation of the CalConnect patent policy</title>
      <uri type="xml">https://standards.calconnect.org/csd/cc-10005.xml</uri>
      <uri type="pdf">https://standards.calconnect.org/csd/cc-10005.pdf</uri>
      ...
    </bibitem>"

With argument bibdata: true it outputs XML wrapped by bibdata element and adds flavour ext element.

item.to_xml bibdata: true
=> "<bibdata type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.1">
      <title format="text/plain" language="en">Guidelines for the implementation of the CalConnect patent policy</title>
      <uri type="xml">https://standards.calconnect.org/csd/cc-10005.xml</uri>
      ...
      <ext schema-version="v1.0.0">
        <doctype>directive</doctype>
        <editorialgroup>
          <committee>PUBLISH</committee>
        </editorialgroup>
      </ext>
    </bibdata>"

Typed links

Each Calconnect document has link types:

• xml - XML format

• pdf - PDF format

• doc - Microsoft Word document format

• html - HTML format

• rxl - RelatonXML format

item.link

Fetch data

This gem uses the https://raw.githubusercontent.com/usnistgov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/nist-pages/xml/allrecords.xml dataset as one of the data sources.

The method RelatonCalconnect::DataFetcher.fetch(output: "data", format: "yaml") fetches all the documents from the dataset and saves them to the ./data folder in YAML format. Arguments:

• output - folder to save documents (default './data').

• format - the format in which the documents are saved. Possible formats are: yaml, xml, bibxml (default yaml).

Logging

RelatonCalconnect uses the relaton-logger gem for logging. By default, it logs to STDOUT. To change the log levels and add other loggers, read the relaton-logger documentation.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
