Overview

The following sections intend to outline features/facts of this program

Access

• Query the database via our REST API
• Programme options options to scrape only selected conferences

Backend

• Based on JPA via Hibernate
• Largely database agnostic

Wiki

• Found at https://github.com/bl4ckscor3/BP-Athena/wiki
• Well documented, containing explanations of all functionality, including the API
• Database schematic

Data

• Supports scraping the ACL anthology
• Provides the data structure necessary for storing information on the authors and papers
• General schedule data as well as information of the Institution and conference itself is stored
• The necessary database structure for Semantic Scholar data (see below) is present

Special API accesses

For information not suited for immediate storage in the database, a special API process has been included, providing the following functionality:

• OpenStreetMap data
  • Query locations of interest close to you (depends on locatoin data)
• Semantic Scholar
  • On demand: Find out and store information about authors and papers not provided by t he default scraping functionality, such as:
    • An author's top 5 influences
    • More robust author identification
    • Get all other papers of an author
    • Paper abstracts
    • Find out how often a paper has been cited
    • ...

Code Conventions:

All submitted code should follow the Google Java Guidelines, except for the following changes:

• (Section 2.3.1) Tabs are used for indentation and should be represented with 4 whitespace characters
• (Section 4.2) Each time a new block or block-like construct is opened, the indent increases by one Tab
• (Section 4.4) The column limit doesn't have to be followed //This is done because some of the frameworks have very long names, so you would often have to rip apart your code without adding readability
