RelatonIeee is a Ruby gem that implements the IeeeBibliographicItem model.

You can use it to retrieve metadata of IEEE Standards from standards.ieee.org, and access such metadata through the IeeeBibliographicItem object.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'relaton-ieee'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install relaton-ieee

Usage

Search for a standard using keywords

require 'relaton_ieee'
=> true

item = RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliography.search("IEEE 528-2019")
=> #<RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliographicItem:0x00007fe12ebc8cb8
...

XML serialization

item.to_xml
 => "<bibitem id="IEEE528-2019" type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.1">
      <fetched>2022-12-03</fetched>
      <title type="main" format="text/plain">IEEE Standard for Inertial Sensor Terminology</title>
      <uri type="src">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8863799</uri>
      <docidentifier type="IEEE" primary="true">IEEE 528-2019</docidentifier>
      ...
    </bibitem>"

With argument bibdata: true it ouputs XML wrapped by bibdata element and adds flavor ext element.

item.to_xml bibdata: true
=> "<bibdata type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.1">
      <fetched>2022-12-03</fetched>
      <title type="main" format="text/plain">IEEE Standard for Inertial Sensor Terminology</title>
      <uri type="src">https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8863799</uri>
      <docidentifier type="IEEE" primary="true">IEEE 528-2019</docidentifier>
      ...
      <ext schema-version="v1.0.1">
        <editorialgroup>
          <committee>Gyro Accelerometer Panel of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society</committee>
        </editorialgroup>
        ...
      </ext>
    </bibdata>"

Get document by reference

RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliography.get("IEEE 528-2019")
[relaton-ieee] (IEEE 528-2019) fetching...
[relaton-ieee] (IEEE 528-2019) found `IEEE 528-2019`
 => #<RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliographicItem:0x007fceb52a6e40
 ...

Each IEEE document has src type link.

item.link
=> [#<RelatonBib::TypedUri:0x00007fe885219ba0 @content=#<Addressable::URI:0x8ac URI:https://standards.ieee.org/standard/528-2019.html>, @type="src">]

Create bibliographic item from XML

RelatonIeee::XMLParser.from_xml File.read "spec/fixtures/ieee_528_2019.xml"
 => #<RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliographicItem:0x007fceb550c978
 ...

Create bibliographic item from YAML

hash = YAML.load_file 'spec/fixtures/ieee_528_2019.yaml'
 => {"id"=>"IEEE528-2019",
 ...

 RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliographicItem.from_hash hash
 => #<RelatonIeee::IeeeBibliographicItem:0x007fce940b3eb0
 ...

Fetch data

There is an IEEE dataset https://github.com/relaton/ieee-rawbib which can be converted into BibXML/BibYAML formats. The dataset needs to be placed into the local directory.

The method RelatonIeee::DataFetcher.fetch(output: "data", format: "yaml") converts all the documents from the local ieee-rawbib directory 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 (default yaml).

Logging

RelatonIeee 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).
