  - tags: tags to look for in xml
  - from_date: earliest 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 with the oai_zb_preview metadata prefix and write a complete raw data dump
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
