Fetch data

There is a 3GPP dataset latest *.zip which can be converted into RelatonXML/BibXML/BibYAML formats.

The method Relaton3GPP::DataFetcher.fetch(output: "data", format: "yaml") converts all the documents from the dataset and save them to the ./data folder in YAML format. Arguments:

  • output - folder to save documents (default './data').

  • format - format in which the documents are saved. Possimle formats are: yaml, xml, bibxml (default yaml).
