Instance administrators

For instance administrators, after you have installed the extension as per the steps above, you are done. It should just work.

Maintainers

When a new list of MeSH term comes out, this package should be updated. Here we show how.

0- Make sure you have cloned this package and installed it locally with the all extra:

pipenv run pip install -e .[all]

1- Update:

pipenv run invenio-subjects-mesh

This will

1- Download the new list (TODO - For now download it manually and place it in invenio_subjects_mesh/download/data/) 2- Read it filtering for topics 3- Convert terms to InvenioRDM subjects format 4- Write those to invenio_subjects_mesh/vocabularies/subjects_mesh.yaml file

2- When you are happy with the list, bump the version in invenio_subjects_mesh/version.py and release it.

Note

There are some amenities in the code to filter/interact with MeSH terms a little if one is so inclined.

Future Ideas

• InvenioRDM doesn't have a way to update pre-existing subjects yet. Once there is one, this package should provide the functionality to update MeSH terms.
