NAME

SOAP::ISIWoK - interogate the ISI WoS database

SYNOPSIS

use SOAP::ISIWoK;

$wos = SOAP::ISIWoK->new;

$som = $wos->authenticate;
die $som->faultstring if $som->fault;

$som = $wos->search('AU = (Brody)');

DESCRIPTION

Search and retrieve records from the Thomson Reuters ISI Web of Knowledge database.

This module is NOT backwards compatible with SOAP::ISIWoK 1.xx (deprecated WoK API). Significant changes:

  - you must now authenticate with WoK to get a session id
  - methods now return SOAP::Lite objects, use your favourite XML parser to
	parse $som->result->{records} or
  - throw an error on $som->fault

Editions

Select which editions to query. Some editions may not be available, depending on your WoS subscription.

METHODS

$wos = SOAP::ISIWoK->new( [ OPTIONS ] )

Options:

database = WOK

Database to search (WOK = all database).

collections = { WOS => [] }
BIOABS, BCI, BIOSIS, CABI, CSCD, CCC, DIIDW, FSTA, INSPEC, MEDLINE, WOS,
ZOOREC

The key is the Collection to search (WOS = Web of Science) and the value is a list of editions within that collection.

See Web Service documentation for the available editions, otherwise an empty array will search all editions that you are subscribed to.

$som = $wos->authenticate([$username, $password])
die $som->faultstring if $som->fault;
print "Session ID: ".$som->result;

Get a WoS session ID.

$som = $wos->closeSession()

Explicitly close the session with WoS. Otherwise is called when this object goes out of scope.

$som = $wos->citedReferences($uid [, OPTIONS ])
$som = $wos->citedReferencesRetrieve($queryId [, OPTIONS ])
$som = $wos->citingArticles($uid [, OPTIONS ])
$som = $wos->relatedRecords($uid [, OPTIONS ])
$som = $wos->retrieve($queryId [, OPTIONS ])
$som = $wos->retrieveById(UIDs [, OPTIONS])

UIDs is an array ref of uids.

$som = $wos->search($query [, OPTIONS])

Options:

begin - YYYY-MM-DD
end - YYYY-MM-DD
offset = 0
max = 10
