Focus On: Data Extract File Formats
You may already know that Data Extract is a
highly effective tool for extracting the biblio data of your choice
from a set of patents to use in many popular applications. But did
you know that Data Extract offers you the ability to extract data
to five different file formats? Here's a brief overview of file format
options and the subtle differences of each.
CSV: CSV stands for Comma Separated Values and is an industry-standard
file format that lets you immediately open up the file in spreadsheet
applications like Microsoft Excel. This is the default Data Extract
file format. Each data field that you select to extract is represented
as a single column. For example, Patent Number will be one column
and Inventor will be another column. If there are multiple data items
in a field (e.g. more than one inventor name), all occurrences of
that data item will be placed within that one column.
CSV Field Codes: Another CSV format, but with this specific format
option, each piece of extracted data is identified with its corresponding
field code (e.g. PA=The Coca Cola Company).
CSV Multi-Fields: When multiple occurrences of a field exist, each
occurrence is placed in a separate column within the spreadsheet.
For example, if there are two inventors, the first inventor's name
will be placed in one column and the second inventor's name in a second
column. This is especially useful for importing data into a database
application, where you may later want to isolate specific data elements
of one type (e.g., all inventors). Also, each piece of data is identified
with its corresponding field codes.
Tagged: This file format is frequently used in applications that require
data to be imported with each field represented as a separate record
in the file. One example is Endnote, a popular application used for
capturing bibliographic information for research papers. Similar to
a text file format, the tagged format places each extracted field
as a line of text and is identified with its corresponding field code.
If there are multiple occurrences of a field (e.g. more than one inventor
name), all occurrences will be placed within one line of text.
Tagged Multi-Fields: This second tagged file format option is the
same as the Tagged format; however, if there are multiple occurrences
of a field (e.g. more than one inventor name), each occurrence of
will be placed as a separate line of text.
