Rich Context API integrations for federating discovery services and metadata exchange across multiple scholarly infrastructure providers

Project description

richcontext.scholapi

Rich Context API integrations for federating discovery services and metadata exchange across multiple scholarly infrastructure providers.

Development of the Rich Context knowledge graph uses this library to:

  • identify dataset links to research publications
  • locate open access publications
  • reconcile journal references
  • reconcile author profiles
  • reconcile keyword mesh

This library has been guided by collaborative work on community building and metadata exchange to improve Scholarly Infrastructure, held at the 2019 Rich Context Workshop.

Installation

Prerequisites:

To install from PyPi:

pip install richcontext.scholapi

If you install directly from this Git repo, be sure to install the dependencies as well:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then copy the configuration file template rc_template.cfg to rc.cfg and populate it with your credentials.

NB: be careful not to commit the rc.cfg file in Git since it contains sensitive data such as passwords.

Parameters used in the configuration file include:

parameter value
chrome_exe_path path/to/chrome.exe
dimensions_password Dimensions API password
elsevier_api_key Elsvier API key
email personal email address
repec_token RePEc API token

Download the Chrome webdriver to enable use of Selenium.

For a good (although slightly dated) tutorial for installing and testing Selenium on Ubuntu Linux, see: https://christopher.su/2015/selenium-chromedriver-ubuntu/

Usage

from richcontext import scholapi as rc_scholapi
import pprint

# initialize the federated API access
schol = rc_scholapi.ScholInfraAPI(config_file="rc.cfg", logger=None)

# search parameters for example publications
title = "Deal or no deal? The prevalence and nutritional quality of price promotions among U.S. food and beverage purchases."

# run it...
meta = schol.openaire.title_search(title)

# report results
pprint.pprint(meta)
print("\ntime: {:.3f} ms - {}".format(schol.openaire.elapsed_time, schol.openaire.name))

API Integrations

APIs used to retrieve metadata:

See docs/enrich_pubs.ipynb for example API usage to pull the federated metadata for a publication.

Testing

First, be sure that you're testing the source and not from an installed library.

Then run unit tests for the APIs which do not require credentials:

python test.py
