A framework dedicated to scientific bibliographic information. It includes:
- a bibliographical reference matching service: from an input such as a raw bibliographical reference and/or a combination of key metadata, the service will return the disambiguated bibliographical object with in particular its DOI and a set of metadata aggregated from Crossref and other sources,
- a fast metadata look-up service: from a "strong" identifier such as DOI, PMID, etc. the service will return a set of metadata aggregated from Crossref and other sources,
- various mapping between DOI, PMID, PMC, ISTEX ID and ark, integrated in the bibliographical service,
- Open Access resolver: Integration of Open Access links via the Unpaywall dataset from Impactstory,
- Gap and daily update for Crossref resources (via the Crossref REST API), so that your glutton data service stays always in sync with Crossref,
- MeSH classes mapping for PubMed articles.
biblio-glutton should be very handy if you need to run and scale a local full "Crossref" database and API, to aggregate Crossref, Pubmed and other common bibliographical records and to match a large amount of bibliographical records or raw bibliographical reference strings.
The framework is designed both for speed (with several thousands request per second for look-up) and matching accuracy. It can be scaled horizontally as needed and can provide high availability.
Benchmarking against the Crossref REST API is presented below.
In the Glutton family, the following complementary tools are available for taking advantage of Open Access resources:
-
biblio-glutton-extension: A browser extension (Firefox & Chrome) for providing bibliographical services, like identifying dynamically Open Access resources on web pages and providing contextual citation services.
-
biblio-glutton-harvester: A robust, fault tolerant, Python utility for harvesting efficiently (multi-threaded) a large Open Access collection of PDF (Unpaywall, PubMed Central), with the possibility to upload content on Amazon S3,
Current stable version of biblio-glutton is 0.3
. Working version is 0.4-SNAPSHOT
.
The full documentation is available here, including an evaluation of the bibliographical reference matching and some expected runtime information.
