Overview
Overall goals:
- Create better database that includes all the patent data to which the McNair Center has access.
- More importantly, create documentation of process so it can improved upon/replicated in the future.
General Outline - updated 2/21/2017
- Familiarize myself with SQL, Perl, and database design
- Familiarize myself with existing scripts and schema for existing database
- Design a better representation for database
- Fix scripts if necessary
- Start moving data into new database by querying existing databases (using SQL)
- Use scripts to query new data
- Test database
- Remove extraneous information from database (copies, patents that we're not interested in, etc.)
Documentation I need to include:
- Schema of new database (with justification of design), would like to include a visual representation
- SQL commands that were used to fill database with explanation of what they do
- Clear instructions on where to find scripts in bulk drive and an explanation of what each script does
- Visual representation of example table entries that isn't just copied and pasted from a CSV file
