Current Status for Granted Patents implementation

How it works currently

Only has the intelligence from E:\McNair\PatentData\Processed\xmlparser_4.5_4.4_4.3.pl. That is to say, it only explicitly covers versions 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 utility patents. Plant, reissue, and design patents contain a nonempty intersection with these attributes but have their own quirks. The actual code to do this XML parsing is at E:\McNair\Projects\SimplerPatentData\src\main\java\org\bakerinstitute\mcnair\uspto_granted\XmlParser.java with the end goal to create an in-memory representation of a granted patent as a E:\McNair\Projects\SimplerPatentData\src\main\java\org\bakerinstitute\mcnair\models\GrantedPatent.java data structure.

To learn about the fields that a model contains, look at the class Model.Metadata which should implement interface TableMetadata. In particular, this bunch of constant data describes the mapping of enum fields to table column names as well as the types of columns.

For an example, we can tell that GrantedPatent is a struct that contains the following data:

private final Map<GrantedPatent.Fields, String> strings;
private final Map<GrantedPatent.Fields, Double> numbers;
private final List<Citation> citations;
private final List<Sciref> scirefs;
private final List<Inventor> inventors;
private final List<AssignmentSummary> assignments;
private final List<Lawyer> lawyers;
