[[Shelby Bice]] [[Work Logs]] [[Shelby Bice (Work Log)|(log 2017-12-08 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm - updated the ER Diagram on my project page)]]to include the three tables for reissue, plant, and design patents respectively. Finished typing up the status of the project as I am leaving it with notes to Oliver and Ed

===Spring 2017 Work===2/14/2017 10-12-07 3:00 am 15 PM - 124:00 pm Set up personal wiki45 PM (came in late due to finals) - finished debugging additions to Oliver's code for the tables that are related to design, reissue, and plant patents, set up work logadded a troubleshooting section to Oliver's page with instructions on how to deal with issues importing the project.

2017-12-04 2/16/2017 10:30 am 45 pm - 124:00 pm Researched past work on databases, discussed project with Ed- continued debugging and started typing up troubleshooting tips for the next person who alters the patent code

2/21/2017 9-12-01 3:00 am 15 pm - 125:00 pm Set - ran code (and ran into errors) which I have been working on fixing. If I don't finish today, I'll continue doing so on Monday. I plan to write up work some of the mistakes I made in adding the tables to the database and add them to Oliver's page, reviewed with his permission so that people in the future who are not familiar with the code (like I wasn't) hopefully won't fall into the same pitfalls. The main things are 1) how to set up a maven project (if IntelliJ doesn't automatically set it up for you when you open/import the project, and 2) how to set up the data source so you can run SQL, researched designing scripts and actually load data into the database, continued going through wikion the RDP.

2/23/2017 9-11-30-17 1:30 am 55 pm - 123:00 55 pm Reviewed Perl- continued altering code. Wrote creation tables script in SQL for creating tables for the design, reissue, read about database designand plant patents, set and went through the checklist to make sure I had done everything to create these new tables based on Oliver's Reproducible Patent Data page. Will definitely run code tomorrow and will type up project page for redesigning database, started documenting the exact processI went through to create new tables.

3/2017-11-17 2/2017 9:15 am pm - 125:15 00 pm Started excel spreadsheet - continued altering code to document current schema include the special fields for plant, reissue, and design patent. Their models and improvements the changes to XmlParser relevant to those models should be made, updated project pagesdone. I will go through the rest of the code and check where else I need to make alterations next time I am in.

3/7/2017 9-11-16 8:45 am - 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Continued working on spreadsheetcontinued altering code to include the special fields for plant, added relevant page links to project pagereissue, took notes on what I want documentation to look like in the futureand design patents

3/9/2017 9-11-14 8:00 30 - 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Finished first draft of spreadsheet describing met with Oliver to go over his code, began working on scripts and finding paths for the current schema (fields qunie to design, reissue, and possible changes) to the Patent databaseplant patents.

3/21/2017 9-11-10: 2:30 am 00 - 125:00 pm - Worked on determining "core" updated format of worklog, finished researching fields of the new design, utility, and reissue tables for new patent database, and documenting what each table contains

2017-11-03: 2:30 - 3/22/2017 5:30 pm to 6, 3:45 pm - 5:30 00 pm (I went to get a snack because I was starving!) - Patent Data meetingFinished up finding unique fields, added them to database design, and researched what the fields represented - again, this is taking a while since there is little to no documentation online about what fields on these XML files actually represent.

3/23/2017 9-11-02: 2:15 am pm - 124:00 pm - Narrowed down core tables made a main data page and fieldscontinued going through the xpaths Oliver found. Notified Michelle so she can continue adding patent pages

4/4/2017 -10-31: 9:00 am - 1110:45 pm 30 am - Worked on updating documentation, found documentation on pulling data/making tables and databases, started looking through DTDs trying to find extra fields determine from Oliver's research what paths are unique to pullutility, reissue, and plant patents that we have not yet accounted for in our design of the table

4/6/2017 9-10-27: 2:30 am 00 pm - 113:30 pm - Kept looking through DTDsupdating tables. For some of the new values I've been adding to tables (I didn't realize we had XPaths for some fields) I'm struggling to find out exactly what the field means (for example, kept updating the date on a citation - is this the date the citedpatent was granted? or is the date that the citingpatent cited the citedpatent?) so the process is slow going. I want to get the documentationright though so in the future someone can look up and see exactly what each field in the table represents and not have to guess

4/11/2017 9-10-26:15 am 2:00 pm - 124:00 pm - Worked worked on trying to update updating the designs for the patent data through 2016databases tables based on what was discussed on Friday (specifically adding inventors and lawyers tables, altering fields on patent tables) - will continue this on Friday

4/13/2017 9-10-20: - 2:30 am 00 pm - 125:00 pm - Continued working on trying to update patent data through 2016, specifically parsing the data, worked met with Ed to update perl scriptsand Oliver about patent database design

4/18/2017 9-10-19:45 am 2:00 pm - 124:30 00 pm - Cleaned finished up documentation moreER diagram and description of all tables for patent database, kept working through started reading papers concerning creating an inventor's database (looks like other research groups have merged the process of parsing USPTO data with the Harvard Dataverse datain order to create an inventors table)

4/20/2017 -10-17: 8:00 45 am - 1110:30 pm am - wrote copy statements continued trying to solve twitter issues, worked on ER diagram, skimmed through a paper I found (linked at the top of the page for copying Redesign Assignment and Patent Database) to see how they cleaned the data from RDP , since I assume that will be the next step to database, continued working on documentation.research after finishing the ER diagrams

4/25/2017 -10-12:00 am 2:30 pm - 125:00 pm - worked write blog post on documentation, tried to determine how Grace Hopper Celebration and attempted to clean up the USPTO Assignee Datasolve Twitter issue

4/27/2017 1-10-03: 8:00 pm 45 am - 310:00 pm 30 am - worked finished adding descriptions to the fields for each table in the patent database, started work on documentation more, tried to figure out how to clean citation dataan ER diagram

===Fall 2017 Work===9/15/2017 -09-29: 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm - introduced finished adding the design for the Patent database to new patent database projectedthe project page, reviewed and took notes on USPTO Assignment data (notes can added descriptions of the fields for each table to the project page including the datatype that I think the field will be found under McNair/Projects/Redesigning Patent Database/New Patent Database Project as Notes on USPTO Assignment Data Paper)when it's loaded into the database

2017-09-28: 9/22/2017 8:30 00 am - 10:30 am - continued looking at paper on USPTO assignment data going over and documenting last semester's patent database design and adding the details to the notes on what the design of that database should look likeRedesign Assignment and Patent Database project page. Additionally, specifically on what I need for different tables and what I don't know yet about began trying to determine how to match up the information in the design. Had Document_Info table in Assignment to set match up connection to RDP again due to technical issueswith a patent_id in the Patent table in Patent.

9/23/2017 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm - continued working on Tomorrow I will finish adding the design of Assignment for the Patent database and how it will connect to Patent database by writing out what will be in the project page, add descriptions of the fields for each table in Assignment and questions about different possible structures of tables that we will have to address before finalizing the design - project page, and start working on ER diagrams for the notes can be found under McNair/Projects/Redesigning Patent Database/New Patent Database Project as Notes on USPTO Assignment Data Papertwo databases. Questions are highlighted in yellow throughout the document[[Category:Work Log]]

Began going over my patent database design from last semester to tweak it. Will need to sync up with Joe Reilly to see if there are any new fields that we are pulling from the data. Additionally, I made a new project page called Redesign Assignment and Patent Database that encompasses the new design for the Assignment database and Patent database redesign and moved some of the notes from McNair/Projects/Redesigning Patent Database/New Patent Database Project/Notes on USPTO Assignment Data Paper to the project page.
