Typed source links
All the ETSI documents have SRC and PDF links. The gem provides a way to access these links through the RelatonBib::TypedUri object.

Relaton::Etsi uses the relaton-logger gem for logging. By default, it logs to STDOUT. To change the log levels and add other loggers, read the relaton-logger documentation.
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To update the index test fixture (used by tests), run rake spec:update_index. This downloads the latest index-v1.zip from the relaton-data-etsi repository.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
