As part of my role as a data librarian at the Institute of Juan March in Madrid, Spain, I help researchers in the creation of their datasets. The research that I'm working with is looking at how the identification of Catalonians in Spain is affected by the news in the newspapers.
00:22
The challenge for the researcher here is to have all those front pages from the newspapers so that he can start doing the coding. And what I'm doing to help is actually scripting a data scrapper that will actually download all those PDFs for the dates required for the front pages of those newspapers
00:44
so that the researcher can actually use them without having to download them one by one. In order to do this, I use a web tool called Scrapper Wiki. And that allows me to look for patterns in the websites that actually hold all those newspapers
01:02
and identify the way in which they've actually coded their website and almost de-engineer that so that I can figure out the way in which they store the PDFs so that I can actually download them all.
01:20
And I guess the researcher is trying to see whether when there's a lot of news with a negative connotation about the relationship between Spain and Catalonia whether that actually has an effect on those opinion pools
01:41
and that particular question that he's asking those opinion pools about the feeling of being Catalan in Spain.
