RelatonIec: retrieve IEC Standards for bibliographic use using the BibliographicItem model

RelatonIec is a Ruby gem that implements the IsoBibliographicItem model.

You can use it to retrieve metadata of IEC Standards from https://www.iec.ch, and access such metadata through the IecBibliographicItem object.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'relaton-iec'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install relaton-iec

Usage

Configuration

Configuration is optional. The available option is logger which is a Logger instance. By default, the logger is Logger.new($stderr) with Logger::WARN level. To change the logger level, use RelatonIec.configure block.

require 'relaton_iec'
=> true

RelatonIec.configure do |config|
  config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
end

Search for a standard using keywords

RelatonIec::IecBibliography.search(ref, year) method returns hits collection. Each hit can be used to fetch a document.

ref - a reference to search document
year - filter by year (optional)

hit_collection = RelatonIec::IecBibliography.search("60050")
=> <RelatonIec::HitCollection:0x007fe0d7126f28 @ref=60050 @fetched=false>

hit_collection.first
=> <RelatonIec::Hit:0x000000000003e8 @text="60050" @fetched="false" @fullIdentifier="" @title="IEC 60050-05:1935">

item = hit_collection[2].fetch
=> #<RelatonIec::IecBibliographicItem:0x007fe1171a06f8
...

item.docidentifier
=> [#<RelatonBib::DocumentIdentifier:0x00007ff1b52a2b60 @id="IEC 60050-07:1956", @language=nil, @primary=true, @scope=nil, @script=nil, @type="IEC">,
 #<RelatonBib::DocumentIdentifier:0x00007ff1b52a2a98

item.docidentifier.detect { |di| di.type == "URN" }.id
=> "urn:iec:std:iec:60050-07:1956-01:::"

Fetch document by keywords

RelatonIec::IecBibliography.get(ref, year, opts) method returns the document.

ref - a reference to search document
year - filter by year (optional)
opts - hash of options (optional). Supported options are :all_parts (boolean), :keep_year (boolean).

Converting reference to URN

URN is a document identifier format. It has fields delimited by a colon. If any field is absent then its place is empty. All values are in lower-case.

URN structure:
urn:sdo_namespace:content_type_namespace:header:project_number:date:type:deliverable:language:relation:adjunct_type:adjunct_number:date[#/=]component_or_related_asset

prefix
- urn - value: urn
- sdo_namespace - value: iec
- content_type_namespace - value: std
base document information
- header - possible values are: iec, iso, iec-iso, iec-ieee, iec-itu, iec-astm
- project_number - number and partnumber. For example 67654, 60601-1, 61076-7-101

The method RelatonIec.code_to_urn(code, lang) converts document identifier to URN.

code is a document identifier
lang is a laguage code (optional). Examples: en, fr, en-fr etc.

RelatonIec.code_to_urn "IEC 60050-102:2007/AMD1:2017"
=> "urn:iec:std:iec:60050-102:2007:::::amd:1:2017"

RelatonIec.code_to_urn "IEC 60034-1:1969+AMD1:1977+AMD2:1979+AMD3:1980 CSV", "en-fr"
=> "urn:iec:std:iec:60034-1:1969::csv:en-fr:plus:amd:1:1977:plus:amd:2:1979:plus:amd:3:1980"

The method RelatonIec.urn_to_code(urn) converts URN to document identifier.

RelatonIec.urn_to_code "urn:iec:std:iec:60050-102:2007:::::amd:1:2017"
=> ["IEC 60050-102:2007/AMD1:2017", ""]

RelatonIec.urn_to_code "urn:iec:std:iec:60034-1:1969::csv:en-fr:plus:amd:1:1977:plus:amd:2:1979:plus:amd:3:1980"
=> ["IEC 60034-1:1969+AMD1:1977+AMD2:1979+AMD3:1980 CSV", "en-fr"]

Fetch data

This gem uses the Harmonized API as a data source. The following options are available: - iec-harmonized-all - fetches all the documents using the API - iec-harmonized-latest - fetches the latest documents using the API

The method RelatonIec::DataFetcher.new(source, output: "data", format: "yaml").fetch fetches IEC documents from the dataset and saves them to the ./data folder in YAML format. Arguments:

source - data source. Possible values: iec-harmonized-all, iec-harmonized-latest (default iec-harmonized-latest).
output - folder to save documents (default './data').
format - the format in which the documents are saved. Possible formats are: yaml, xml, bibxxml (default yaml).

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).

Exceptional Citations

This gem retrieves bibliographic descriptions of ISO documents by doing searches on the ISO website, http://www.iso.org, and screenscraping the document that matches the queried document identifier. The following documents are not returned as search results from the ISO website, and the gem returns manually generated references to them.

IEV: used in the metanorma-iso gem to reference Electropedia entries generically. Is resolved to an "all parts" reference to IEC 60050, which in turn is resolved into the specific documents cited by their top-level clause.
