Thenanopub
library provides a high-level, user-friendly python interface for searching, publishing and retracting nanopublications.
Nanopublications are a formalized and machine-readable way of communicating the smallest possible units of publishable information. Seethe documentation for more information.
Checkout theuser documentation 📖
Install using pip:
pip install nanopub
To publish to the nanopub server you need to setup your profile. This allows the nanopub server to identify you. Run the following command in the terminal:
np setup
This will ask you a few questions, then it will use that information to add and store RSA keys to sign your nanopublications with, (optionally) publish a nanopublication with your name and ORCID iD to declare that you are using these RSA keys, and store your ORCID iD to automatically add as author to the provenance of any nanopublication you will publish using this library.
