Invenio Grobid

Invenio module to interact with Grobid API for metadata extraction from PDF.

• Free software: GPLv2 license
• Documentation: https://invenio-grobid.readthedocs.org.

This is an experimental developer preview release.

Features

This module provide an interface for uploading PDFs to a Grobid instance and allows to submit extracted metadata to a configurable callback.

NOTE: This packages assumes you have setup a local Grobid REST service. For more information about this and more, read the official Grobid documentation.

Installation

pip install invenio-grobid

Note that you also need a running Grobid REST service.

Configuration

Add invenio_grobid package to your Invenio PACKAGES config in your overlay/config.py to be picked up by the Invenio application loader.

Configure the URL to your Grobid REST service with GROBID_HOST.

inveniomanage config set GROBID_HOST 'http://localhost:8080'

If you want to change your standard upload handler after extraction, update GROBID_RESULT_HANDLER.

inveniomanage config set GROBID_RESULT_HANDLER 'my_overlay.grobid:upload_handler'

Usage

The uploader interface is available under the /grobid endpoint by default. E.g. http://localhost:4000/grobid

• Choose a PDF to extract metadata from and hit Upload.
• Wait a bit and metadata will be displayed.
• Click on Submit button to push the metadata to your GROBID_RESULT_HANDLER
