Methods:

__init__(self, out_dir, tags, from_date=None, until_date=None, raw_dump_path=None)
- parameters:
  - out_dir: output directory for data dump and processed data
  - tags: tags to look for in xml
  - from_date: earliest publication date; default is None
  - until_date: latest publication date; default is None
  - raw_dump_path: if a data dump has already been created and only process_data should be called, this is required
write_data_dump(self)
- overrides abstract method
- uses sickle to query ZBMath API and get a complete data dump with the oai_zb_preview metadata prefix
process_data(self)
- overrides abstract method
- reads data dump and outputs a file with the processed data in csv format
- processes each record from ZBMath API response separately to reduce memory requirements
- where there is no information for the tags author, document_title, language, keywords, publication_year or serial, the doi is queried to retrieve this information; if nothing is found, the value is set to None
