# EMBL-EBIs Protein Data Bank in Europe

This section describes the mapping implemented for [EMBL-EBIs Protein Data Bank in Europe](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/).

The Europe PMC RESTful Web Service gives the [datalinks API](https://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService#!/Europe32PMC32Articles32RESTful32API) to retrieve data-literature links in Scholix format.

## How the data is collected

Starting from the Pubmed collection, the API below is used to obtain the bioentities related to publications for each PubMed identifier.

Example:

```commandline
curl -s "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/MED/33024307/datalinks?format=json" | jq '.'

## Mapping
The table below describes the mapping from the EBI links records to the OpenAIRE Research Graph dump format.
We filter all the target links with pid type **ena**, **pdb** or **uniprot**
For each target we construct a Bioentity with the following mapping


| OpenAIRE Result field path  | EBI record field xpath                                   | Notes                                                         |
|-----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| `id`                        | `target/identifier/ID` and  `target/identifier/IDScheme` | id in the form `SCHEMA_________::md5(pid)`                    |
| `pid`                       | `target/identifier/ID` and  `target/identifier/IDScheme` | `classid = classname = schema`                                |
| `publicationdate`           | `target/PublicationDate`                                 | clean and normalize the format of the date to be `YYYY-mm-dd` |
| `maintitle`                 | `target/Title`                                           |                                                               |
| **Instance Mapping**        |                                                          |                                                               |
| `instance.type`             |                                                          | `Bioentity`                                                   |

| `instance.pid`              | `target/identifier/ID` and  `target/identifier/IDScheme` | `classid = classname = schema`                                |
| `instance.url`              | `target/identifier/IDURL`                                | Copy the value as it is                                       |
| `instance.publicationdate`  | `//PubmedPubDate`                                        | clean and normalize the format of the date to be YYYY-mm-dd   |
