The two sample Perl scripts below demonstrate basic E-utility functions. Of primary organism, and all higher levels of taxonomy esummary.fcgi?db=&id=&version=2.0īelow is an example version 2.0 DocSum from Entrez Protein (the same record as shown above in the default DocSum XML). Each Entrez database provides its own unique DTD for version 2.0 DocSums, and a link to the relevant DTD is provided in the header of the version 2.0 XML. To retrieve version 2.0 DocSums, the URL should contain the &version parameter with an assigned value of ‘2.0’. Version 2.0 of ESummary is an alternate XML presentation of Entrez DocSums. Below is an example DocSum for Entrez Protein.
