Update doc and fix relationships
* Update README.md documentation. * Fix "cite" relationship import. Papers created when parsing references were not given a "cite" relationship. TODO: The latest fix creates too much recursion when adding a given paper. Adding a paper now basically means "crawling arXiv".

|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this repository is to provide a minimal API to put metadata on arXiv papers.
|
||||
|
||||
TODO: Better description + API description.
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Most of the published scientific papers are availabe online, as preprints. For
|
||||
physics and computer science, most of them are available on the
|
||||
[arXiv](http://arxiv.org/) repository. Published paper get a unique (global)
|
||||
identifier, a [DOI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier).
|
||||
Preprint papers released on arXiv get a unique
|
||||
[identifier](https://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier). Correspondance between
|
||||
these two identifiers can be made quite easily once the preprint is published,
|
||||
as some publishers pushes back the DOIs to arXiv.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, all these articles can be easily identified and tracked. However, very
|
||||
small use of this is done, and especially there is no way to post metadata
|
||||
between articles. For example, getting a (usable) list of articles referencing
|
||||
a given article, or referenced by it, is very difficult (and a textual
|
||||
bibliography is not a usable list of articles, as it is truly difficult to
|
||||
parse).
|
||||
|
||||
This basic Python code offers a way to add some metadata between articles. One
|
||||
can import articles in it. It automatically tries to fetch referenced papers
|
||||
and add the corresponding relationships between these papers and the added
|
||||
paper. Relationships are reversible which means one can easily get the papers
|
||||
citing a given paper.
|
||||
|
||||
It offers an API to add extra metadata. One could for instance imagine adding
|
||||
others relations between papers to say they are similar, extra possible
|
||||
reference, or so on.
|
||||
|
||||
One could even imagine extending this further to tag papers, just as arXiv do
|
||||
(in some sort) with their "categories" (such as
|
||||
[cond-mat](http://arxiv.org/archive/cond-mat)) so that researchers could follow
|
||||
tags relative to their area of research, and get a narrower and better targeted
|
||||
list of papers everyday. Plus everyone could tag articles in a collaborative
|
||||
way, so that some papers which might be of interest for a field, but were not
|
||||
tagged as such, would reach it anyway.

## API
|
||||
|
||||
### Index
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"papers": "/papers/?id={id}&doi={doi}&arxiv_id={arxiv_id}",
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Get papers
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /papers
|
||||
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
One can filter further using `id={id}`, `doi={doi}` or `arxiv_id={arxiv_id}`
|
||||
query parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"data": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "papers",
|
||||
"id": 1,
|
||||
"attributes": {
|
||||
"doi": "10.1126/science.1252319",
|
||||
"arxiv_id": "1401.2910"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"links": {
|
||||
"self": "/papers/1"

},

}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Get a paper
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /papers/1
|
||||
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"data": {
|
||||
"type": "papers",
|
||||
"id": 1,
|
||||
"attributes": {
|
||||
"doi": "10.1126/science.1252319",
|
||||
"arxiv_id": "1401.2910"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"links": {
|
||||
"self": "/papers/1"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"relationships": {
|
||||
"cite": {
|
||||
"links": {
|
||||
"related": "/papers/1/relationships/cite"
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
…
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Get the relationships of a paper
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /papers/1/relationships/cite
|
||||
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"links": {
|
||||
"self": "/papers/1/relationships/cite",
|
||||
"related": "/papers/1/cite"
|
||||
},
|
||||
"data": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "papers",
|
||||
"id": 2,
|
||||
},
|
||||
…
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The previous relationship is to be understood as `paper 1 cites paper 2`.
|
||||
|
||||
Using `?reverse=1`, one can reverse the relationships (ie get results for
|
||||
papers that cites the paper identified by the id in the URL, in the previous
|
||||
case).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Post a paper
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
POST /papers
|
||||
Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json
|
||||
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
"arxiv_id": "1401.2910"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`arxiv_id` (respectively `doi`) is fetched automatically if available.

||||

||||
