Knowledge transfer from science to economy
illustrated via patent - publication pairs:
reducing ambiguities with word embeddings and references

This is the code repository to reproduce the results and figures from [my paper](LINK MISSING).

Description

This repo builds up a docker container with all needed libaries and a Postgresql database for storing the intermediate stages and the results.

You can access the postgresql when the container is running, for the database credentials please see the output of the building script. The raw data files can be accessed anytime form outside the container.

Data Sources

  • Publication data from the National Library of Medicine using the FTP server of NCBI
  • Patent data from the European Patent Office (EPO) using their htmls service
  • MeSH terms
    • german and english
    • french

Synopsis

to be used inside a UNIX BASH

  • install docker
  • clone this repo
  • run ./quamedfo_publication/build_image.sh -> you end up in a BASH inside the container
  • download the raw data manually. The EPO
  • run ```/home/user/code

remarks (Yes, i know, but ...)

  • YES, you need a heavy machine to run those scripts in a reasonable amount of time. This work was part of the QuaMedFo Project where ZB MED provides me with a heavy 40 CPU, 300 GB RAM VM. Reasonable time on this machine was still approx. 6 weeks.
  • YES, you're root inside the docker container and you've persistant drives. The requirement of this repo is not to deliver a production ready secure container.
  • YES, you need to be in the root group on your local machine. I could not solve the owner-ship issues of the persistant data folders and so you have to chown the folders to yourself each time you run the script again. If someone can solve those issues, please do a pull request, i would be very happy.
  • YES, the download of the raw data is manual and will stay manual. Be happy, that the script realizes that the EPO download limit is reached and will stop and not fill quietly your xml with useless data. Wait a day or two and start it again.
  • YES, the script uses the actual PubMed baseline data provided on the ftp-server. When you run it next year, you use different data for the publications. But in the observed time period 2000-2005 there should not be a lot of changes anymore (just guessing, I didn't check)
  • YES, this scripts only use a static snapshoot of the data. If you want to extend this repo: there are no continious delta-load functions. Additionally, you need intermediate steps, that you e.g. don't do the long lasting processing again and again, but also handle growing patent families. This functionality will be soon implemented in the ZB MED Search Portal for Live Sciences LIVIVO, where you'll get the patent-publication links as additional information to the latest publication data (and not only PubMed), using the latest patent data.

File Description

script in /home/user/code purpose
run.sh main script to run the complete pipeline. Since there might be problems with the amount of data downloaded from EPO or PubMed, I recommend using the download scripts manually, comment them out in this file and run the rest automatically.
