| 1 | +# ArXiv Agent Module - Standard Operating Procedure |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## 1. Purpose and Scope |
| 4 | +This document provides standard operating procedures for using the ArXiv Agent module to search, download, analyze, and maintain a knowledge base of scientific papers from ArXiv.org. It covers all operations from basic paper discovery to advanced knowledge graph queries. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## 2. Module Overview |
| 7 | +The ArXiv Agent module enables easy interaction with ArXiv's scientific paper repository. It provides a suite of tools to search for papers, extract metadata, build a knowledge graph, and perform complex queries across your personal research library. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## 3. System Components |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +### 3.1 ArXiv Assistant |
| 12 | +An intelligent assistant that helps users discover, organize, and analyze research papers. The assistant integrates all the module's capabilities into a conversational interface. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### 3.2 ArXiv Integration |
| 15 | +Connects to the ArXiv API to search for papers and retrieve detailed metadata. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### 3.3 ArXiv Paper Pipeline |
| 18 | +Processes papers by: |
| 19 | +- Extracting metadata (authors, categories, publication dates, etc.) |
| 20 | +- Converting data into a structured knowledge graph |
| 21 | +- Storing the graph as TTL files |
| 22 | +- Downloading PDF versions of papers |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### 3.4 ArXiv Query Workflow |
| 25 | +Enables powerful querying capabilities against your stored papers: |
| 26 | +- Find authors of specific papers |
| 27 | +- Find papers by author or category |
| 28 | +- Get frequency analysis of authors |
| 29 | +- Execute custom SPARQL queries |

| 51 | +## 6. Operating Procedures |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### 6.1 Starting the ArXiv Agent |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +From project root directory: |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +``` |
| 58 | +make chat-arxiv-agent |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### 6.2 Paper Discovery |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +1. **Basic Search** |
| 64 | + ``` |
| 65 | + Search for papers about quantum computing |
| 66 | + ``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +2. **Targeted Search** |
| 69 | + ``` |
| 70 | + Find papers by Yoshua Bengio about deep learning |
| 71 | + ``` |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +3. **Recent Papers Search** |
| 74 | + ``` |
| 75 | + What are the latest papers on transformers? |
| 76 | + ``` |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +### 6.3 Paper Storage |
| 79 | +1. **Adding Papers to Knowledge Graph** |
| 80 | + ``` |
| 81 | + Save paper 2201.08239 to my knowledge graph |
| 82 | + ``` |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +2. **Downloading Paper with PDF** |
| 85 | + ``` |
| 86 | + Download the PDF for paper 2201.08239 |
| 87 | + ``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +### 6.4 Knowledge Graph Queries |
| 90 | +1. **Paper Author Lookup** |
| 91 | + ``` |
| 92 | + Who wrote the paper "Attention Is All You Need"? |
| 93 | + ``` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +2. **Author's Papers Lookup** |
| 96 | + ``` |
| 97 | + What papers do I have by Geoffrey Hinton? |
| 98 | + ``` |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +3. **Category Search** |
| 101 | + ``` |
| 102 | + Find papers in the cs.AI category |
| 103 | + ``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +4. **Author Frequency** |

| 118 | + |
| 119 | +## 7. Troubleshooting |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +### 7.1 Common Issues and Solutions |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | |
| 124 | +|-------|---------------|----------| |
| 125 | +| Paper not found | Incorrect ID or API error | Verify ID and try again | |
| 126 | +| Query returns empty results | No papers stored or query mismatch | Check storage directory for TTL files | |
| 127 | +| PDF download fails | Network issue or invalid URL | Check connection and try again | |
| 128 | +| SPARQL query error | Syntax error or namespace issue | Ensure proper PREFIX declarations | |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### 7.2 Error Messages |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +| Error Message | Meaning | Action | |
| 133 | +|--------------|---------|--------| |
| 134 | +| "Unknown namespace prefix" | Missing PREFIX in SPARQL | Add required PREFIX declarations | |
| 135 | +| "No TTL files found" | Empty storage directory | Add papers using the pipeline first | |
| 136 | +| "Query execution failed" | Malformed SPARQL | Check query syntax | |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +## 8. Maintenance |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +### 8.1 File Management |
| 141 | +- TTL files are retained indefinitely in the storage directory |
| 142 | +- Consider periodically backing up the storage directories |
| 143 | +- PDF files can be substantial in size - monitor disk space usage |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### 8.2 Updating the Agent |
| 146 | +When updating the agent code: |
| 147 | +1. Restart the agent after code changes |
| 148 | +2. Existing data will remain accessible |
| 149 | +3. Test queries against existing data to verify functionality |
| 150 | + |
