Abstract for EP documents not available?
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2016 2:58 pm
Dear OPS,
Thank you for this service you're offering. Apart from wishing for a larger fulltext coverage ('extend a finger and they'll take your hand' ), I have two issues:
1. I think I have hit a bug with recently granted EP documents, for which I am unable to retrieve the abstract. I have used the developer console with these endpoints, but none gives me the desired abstract:
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 2/abstract
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 2/abstract
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 352/biblio
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... 202/biblio
(switching to docdb also didn't help)
Looking for the priority document returns the foreseeable error that the result is ambiguous:
http://ops.epo.org/3.1/rest-services/pu ... .A1/biblio
This is not a singled out case: I have been using the service recently for information related to granted EP specifications as published in Q1 2016, and none of the ca. 150 documents have returned an abstract (although I only checked for the /abstract endpoint with my application)
-> Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in the service?
2. I have read the FAQ and the forum to find the easiest solution to retrieve the mosaics. From what I understand, these are only available as entire pages (either in PDF or in TIFF format), even if a page contains more than one mosaic. Is it possible in any way to retrieve the single mosaics without having to post-process the downloaded pages to try to identify every single image?
Thx!
