USPatents Database User’s Guide Knowledge Lab / Computation Institute / University of Chicago

v1.1, 11/08/2013 The database contains tables of files in three formats - XML format, SGML format and Plain Text. The data structures of these three types of data are different. So the data is uploaded to different tables. There are, however, some tables that unify data from these tables into one (Common Tables). All XML data tables name start with ‘XML_’. Similarly SGML data tables name starts with ‘SGML_’ and text data tables name starts with ‘TEXT_’.
