Conversion of IPCC documents into semantic form

goals

• to convert the IPCC documents from PDF into (a) HTML (b) XML
• extract terms and exploire their use and meaning
• link terms to Wikidata and create AMI-dictionaries
• create new structiures for navigation, search, display

Content

Initially we will start with AR6 WGIII but move onto other WG's and perhaps look backwards as well.

Strategy

• Create a directory ("CProject") with all current PDFs (Chapters, etc.) Location: https://github.com/petermr/semanticClimate/ipcc

Download components, using a hierarchical naming scheme, and convert to text (pdf2txt)

semanticClimate pm286$ cd ipcc/ar6/wg3/
$ ls
Chapter01.pdf
$ mkdir Chapter01
$ cp Chapter01.pdf Chapter01/fulltext.pdf
$ cd Chapter01
$ pdf2txt.py -o fulltext.txt fulltext.pdf 
$ ls
fulltext.pdf	fulltext.txt

If you do not get fulltext.txt after running the ls command then, install pdfminer.six and execute the following commads in the Command Prompt:

cd pdfminer.six
python tools/pdf2txt.py "Copy path.pdf" -o "Copy path.txt"
