Classify (K10+)

Work in progress

The idea is to create a small flexible tool to extract library classifications (rvk, bkl, ddc, lcc) from the GVK Catalogue given a query (keyword, title, author etc…)

• Sru address

  https://sru.k10plus.de/gvk

The SRU protocol supports several output formats. This scritp works (at moment at least) only with the MODS format.

This is a personal project, created mostly for fun, to learn Go and to make some of my daily-tasks easier. It is not perfect at all
but feel free to play with the code or suggest me improvements. Install the code (with correctly installed GO environment) in your directory using

    go get github.com/extract_classifications

Build the binary with

    go build main.go

Play with it ;)

Usage:

Usage:
$ klassify_10.exe  + parameters (at least -q):
    -k               query Key (bkl, tit, per, slw (default: all)
    -q               query String (the text to search)
    -v               verbose (bool) prints everything on the console, not recommended (debug purpose only)
    -s               save (bool) if true saves the retrieved xml and the json output files (default : false)
    -n               number of Results (integer) specifiers how many results will be printed on the console
    -p               path (string) which subdirectory of the current working directory will be used to save the files (works only if -s is set)             
    -m               maxResult how many entries should be retrieved

ToDO

• Use net/http to download the xml from the web instead of loading it manually (or possibly leave both options open)
• Allow multiple keywords separated by AND

  slw : "Umberto Eco AND Semiotik"

• Allow for more than one query key (at moment only slw Schlagwort possible)
  • Allow more than one key at the same time
• Give a closer look at the Go idiomatic way of initializing new structs and saving values passing them to the pointers
• Implement or use a counter to see if some keywords (Schlagwörter) are used more than other
  • Still to do : sort the mapping
