Todo list and ideas

Version 4.0.0

Agenda

Note

  • ASAP

  • when practitioners are decided and can be recruited

  • and when the weather is not so fine

Completed

  • [x] Avoid the installation procedure by the use of a docker image

  • [x] Many bug fixing and data consolidation

  • [x] Integrate the full documentation system in the flask interface

  • [x] Use of the docker powerfull feature to extend the global architecture to an ElasticSearch server and it’s Kibana brother (or sister I don’t mind in fact). Opening to new ways of exploration

  • [x] Carrot2 plugin integration

  • [x] Install Webhook on GitHub for automatic documentation building and upload to Read The Docs

Todo

  • [o] Kibana and elastic search usage

  • [o] Some Iramuteq processing steps coulb directly part of P2N

  • [o] Mindmaps integration in the full web system

  • [o] Network visualisation and exploring tool integration. Actual Gexf-js interface is a poorly downgrade of Gephi features and data integrated by P2N in network representations.

  • [o] Write documentation about data model

  • [o] Write documentation about usage

  • [o] Write documentation about global architecture

User UX improvements

  • Use flask and templates to re-design the whole interface keeping in mind kibana and Elatic Search new capability

  • improve progress bar design page

Others improvements

Although Patent2Net is fully operational, works fine and is enough to begin using Patent Information, a lot can be done to improve analysis: * Correct the issues (continuous process, of course) * Add some more information in the result html page (ModeleContenuIndex.html). Great to add the processing date (thus can be different from the gathering date) and P2N version * As information analysis do not always represent the whole _Patent Universe (PU)_ (for instance french abstracts only) metrics should provide the proportion of P.U. concerned by each analysis * Treat Designated State(s) information for EP and WO patentes to complete the attractivity maps. Check if register information recently added (thanks amotl) * Improve the Mindmap option to get it more efficient for creativity (Celso is still working on?)

New contributions and ideas are always welcome.

Version 3.0.0

New capabilities

Added some new capabilities to Patent2Net, i.e.:

  • Within the Patent Universe, build a drawings gallery with hyperlink to the Espacenet patent

  • Within the Familly Patent Universe, provide all the same analysis as with the Patent Universe

Todo

New ways for gathering and analysis

Provide some new ways of gathering and analysis of patent information, i.e.:

  • Within the Familly Patent Universe, provide a new range of analysis, considering a familly as a unique entity (invention)

  • Limit the Familly Patent Universe to the only Priority patents, and provide a complete analysis

  • Using citations of the Familly Patent Universe, provide genealogic analysis, especially descendants to try to detect invention fronts.

  • Gather research reports when avalaible and provide analysis chains

Completed

  • [x] Introduce and stabilize new data model and ad-hoc mode

  • [x] Write about “jq”

  • [x] Remove attr_object_as_dict in favor of attr.as_dict

  • [x] Resolve doc.designated_states vs. doc.register.designated_states duplication by providing a dotted name resolver for nested objects

  • [x] Refactor maps.py and tables.py to p2n.formatter namespace

  • [x] “p2n adhoc dump –format=raw” mode

  • [x] Display OPS error message when running invalid queries like “p2n adhoc dump –expression=’pa=grohe and py=2015’”

Todo

  • [o] OPS Register: Always sort event-like data in ascending order?

    Right now, sort order is mixed as of “history items” vs. “actions” vs. “{publication,application}_reference”.

  • [o] Write documentation about data model

  • [o] Complete implementation of Patent2NetBrevet.from_ops_exchange_document re. citations, equivalents and more

  • [o] Complete implementation of OPSRegisterDocument

  • [o] Install Webhook on GitHub for automatic documentation building

  • [o] Upload pre-release versions to PyPI

  • [o] Currently, python-epo-ops-client requires to be online because it always attempts to authenticate.

    Could this be deferred to the actual first remote access to be able to work completely offline with a prewarmed cache?

  • [o] Caching improvements

    • [o] Increase dogpile cache duration to one year

    • [o] Provide api/command to clear the cache

    • [o] More fine-grained cache ttl control

  • [o] Use pyjq for providing built-in filtering, with raw or even named filters.

    https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyjq

  • [o] Should we compute “register.designated_states - register.countries_lapsed” to determine the actual

    list of countries the patent is still valid in?
