lens_parse: Parse data from lens_search to a data.frame or tibble

In poldham/lensr: Access the Lens Patent Database

Description

Used internally to parse the results from lens_search.

Usage

lens_parse(data)

Arguments

data	html from the lens retrieved using rvest read_html

Value

a tibble.

Note

By default Lens returns publication numbers as e.g. "WO 2015/199614 A1" with spaces between the country code and the kind code. This format is not used by any other database and is not used by the Lens itself for its new upload service where the format is WO_2015/199614_A1. To promote interoperability between databases Lens parse removes the spaces and also the "/" in Lens numbers. Note that the impact of the removal of "/" on retrieval from other databases requires exploration. In order to permit the upload of patent numbers back into the Lens the spaces in the Lens publication numbers are replaced with "_" as in "WO_2015/199614_A1".

Examples

## Not run: df <- lens_urls("drones")
## Not run: data <- lens_urls(synbio, boolean = "OR") %>% lens_parse()
