Minimal Medline Indexer

This project provides (a) a minimal Lucene index builder and (b) a minimal SQLite database builder for Medline (abstract collection for PubMed articles).

The Lucene index has three fields: pmid, abstractText, and articleTitle with the latter two searchable, and the SQLite database has two fields: pmid and abstract with the an index built on pmid.

This project is used in the preparation of the OAQA BioASQ System.

Use it

Two use cases have been configured as exec:exec goals in the pom.xml file.

Build Lucene index

mvn -Ddocs.dir=DOCS_DIR -Dindex.dir=INDEX_DIR exec:exec@index

where DOCS_DIR is the input directory that contains the downloaded .xml.gz or .xml files and INDEX_DIR is the output directory for the Lucene index.

Build SQLite database

mvn -Ddocs.dir=DOCS_DIR -Ddb.path=DB_PATH exec:exec@store

where DOCS_DIR is the input directory that contains the downloaded .xml.gz or .xml files and DB_PATH is the output SQLite database file path.
