Conversion of IPCC documents into semantic form
- to convert the IPCC documents from PDF into (a) HTML (b) XML
- extract terms and exploire their use and meaning
- link terms to Wikidata and create AMI-dictionaries
- create new structiures for navigation, search, display
Initially we will start with AR6 WGIII but move onto other WG's and perhaps look backwards as well.
- Create a directory ("CProject") with all current PDFs (Chapters, etc.) Location: https://github.com/petermr/semanticClimate/ipcc
Download components, using a hierarchical naming scheme, and convert to text (pdf2txt)
semanticClimate pm286$ cd ipcc/ar6/wg3/
$ ls
Chapter01.pdf
$ mkdir Chapter01
$ cp Chapter01.pdf Chapter01/fulltext.pdf
$ cd Chapter01
$ pdf2txt.py -o fulltext.txt fulltext.pdf
$ ls
fulltext.pdf fulltext.txt
If you do not get fulltext.txt after running the ls command then, install pdfminer.six and execute the following commads in the Command Prompt:
cd pdfminer.six
python tools/pdf2txt.py "Copy path.pdf" -o "Copy path.txt"
