Re: Ideas for building a system that parses medical research publications/articles

To get started with collecting doc metadata. It looks this tool can help
you started.
postgres does support fuzzy text search, so I do think dumping meta data
/abstract in postgresql and then using trigram tsearch etc like extensions
it should work well for a POC.
this being a pg mailing list :) what would be your expectation of type of
data and growth of data would be your queries.
If you store data to support multiple lingual papers, will postgresql be
able to handle ?
Ideally the docs would be stored somewhere on a object storage etc and the
link of the same would be stored in the db when someone would request to
read the whole paper.
Long before I read this
https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2017/04/20/analyzing-postgresql-email-archives/

So if this could work, your POC should too :) with postgresql.
