Yesterday I published a blogpost, where I talked about ctj and how and why to convert ContentMine's CProjects to JSON. At the end, I mentioned this post, where I would talk about how to use it in different programs, and with d3.js. So here we go. For starters, let's make the data about word frequencies look nice. Not readable (then we would use a table), but visually pleasing. Let's make a word cloud.

I changed the "JSON maker" I used to convert CProjects to JSON last week to be useful for a more general use case, being more user-friendly and having more options, like grouping by species and minifying. It's now called ctj (CProject to JSON), although that name may be changed to something more clear or appropriate. The GitHub repository can be found here. ctj CProjects are the output of the ContentMine tools.

The "small program" proved more of a challenge than it seemed. Making a program to generate the JSON (link) was fairly easy. Loop through directories, find files, loop through files, collect XML data, save all collected data as JSON in a file. It took a while, but I think I spent the most time of it setting up the logistics, i.e. a nice logger, a file system reader and an argument processor.

Recently, I tried to find out the exact taxonomy of conifers. I knew that a few years earlier, when I was actively working with it, there were a few issues on Wikipedia concerning the grouping of the main conifer families, namely Araucariaceae, Cephalotaxaceae, Cupressaceae, Pinaceae, Podocarpaceae, Sciadopityaceae, Taxaceae, and actually the grouping of genera in families as well. Guess what changed: not much, not on Wikipedia anyway.

Today I updated my GitHub repository of Citation.js. The main difference in the source files was the correction of a typo, but I updated the docs and restructured the directories as well.

(yes, three days late) This week I wanted to catch up on all the things that had happened while I was on holiday. I have finished my introductory blogpost on ContentMine's blog, and I made this blog and transferred all the weekly reports from the GitHub Wiki to here. Next week will be more interesting.

Originally posted on the ContentMine blog I am Lars, and I am from the Netherlands, where I currently live. I applied to this fellowship to learn new things and combine the ContentMine with two previous projects I never got to finish, and I got really excited by the idea and the ContentMine at large.

So, I am a ContentMine fellow now. Actually, for a few weeks already. That's why you see the weekly reports. Those are reports about the project I am doing for my fellowship. I don not have much else to say about it. For more information, please take a look at the links below.

I updated Citation.js to accept quickscrape's results.json. Results can be viewed here. I made a card prototype for the database HTML page, using data extracted with quickscrape. It's mainly, although not advanced, a design thing, but it's nice to see what information I can fit. Results are here. With opened paper Without opened paper I have taken a look at quickscrape.
