- Testing adding ORCIDs to a CSV file for a single item to see if the author orders get messed up
- Need to test the following scenarios to see how author order is affected:
  - ORCIDs only
  - ORCIDs plus normal authors
- I exported a random item’s metadata as CSV, deleted all columns except id and collection, and made a new coloum called `ORCID:dc.contributor.author` with the following random ORCIDs from the ORCID registry:

    0000-0002-6115-0956||0000-0002-3812-8793||0000-0001-7462-405X

- Discuss helping CCAFS with some batch tagging of ORCID IDs for their authors
- Discuss how the migration of CGIAR’s Active Directory to a flat structure will break our LDAP groups in DSpace
- We had been using `DC=ILRI` to determine whether a user was ILRI or not
- It looks like we might be able to use OUs now, instead of DCs:

    $ ldapsearch -x -H ldaps://svcgroot2.cgiarad.org:3269/ -b "dc=cgiarad,dc=org" -D "admigration1@cgiarad.org" -W "(sAMAccountName=admigration1)"

- Add updated distribution license from Sisay (#259)
- Play with upgrading Mirage 2 dependencies in `bower.json` because most are several versions of out date
- Bootstrap is at 3.3.0 but upstream is at 3.3.7, and upgrading to anything beyond 3.3.1 breaks glyphicons and probably more
- bower stuff is a dead end, waste of time, too many issues
- Anything after Bootstrap 3.3.1 makes glyphicons disappear (HTTP 404 trying to access from incorrect path of `fonts`)
- Start working on DSpace 5.1 → 5.5 port:

    $ git checkout -b 55new 5_x-prod
    $ git reset --hard ilri/5_x-prod
    $ git rebase -i dspace-5.5

- Add `dc.description.sponsorship` to Discovery sidebar facets and make investors clickable in item view (#232)
- I think this query should find and replace all authors that have “,” at the end of their names:

    dspacetest=# update metadatavalue set text_value = regexp_replace(text_value, '(^.+?),$', '\1') where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ '^.+?,$';
    UPDATE 95
    dspacetest=# select text_value from  metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=3 and resource_type_id=2 and text_value ~ '^.+?,$';
     text_value
    ------------
    (0 rows)

- In this case the select query was showing 95 results before the update

- Experimenting with IFPRI OAI (we want to harvest their publications)
- After reading the ContentDM documentation I found IFPRI’s OAI endpoint: http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php
- After reading the OAI documentation and testing with an OAI validator I found out how to get their publications
- This is their publications set: http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&from=2016-01-01&set=p15738coll2&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
- You can see the others by using the OAI `ListSets` verb: http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListSets
- Working on second phase of metadata migration, looks like this will work for moving CPWF-specific data in `dc.identifier.fund` to `cg.identifier.cpwfproject` and then the rest to `dc.description.sponsorship`

- There are 3,000 IPs accessing the REST API in a 24-hour period!

- Looking at log file use on CGSpace and notice that we need to work on our cron setup a bit
- We are backing up all logs in the log folder, including useless stuff like solr, cocoon, handle-plugin, etc
- After running DSpace for over five years I’ve never needed to look in any other log file than dspace.log, leave alone one from last year!
- This will save us a few gigs of backup space we’re paying for on S3
- Also, I noticed the `checker` log has some errors we should pay attention to:

- Looking at issues with author authorities on CGSpace
- For some reason we still have the `index-lucene-update` cron job active on CGSpace, but I’m pretty sure we don’t need it as of the latest few versions of Atmire’s Listings and Reports module
- Reinstall my local (Mac OS X) DSpace stack with Tomcat 7, PostgreSQL 9.3, and Java JDK 1.7 to match environment on CGSpace server

- Looking at some DAGRIS data for Abenet Yabowork
- Lots of issues with spaces, newlines, etc causing the import to fail
- I noticed we have a very interesting list of countries on CGSpace:

- Not only are there 49,000 countries, we have some blanks (25)…
- Also, lots of things like “COTE D`LVOIRE” and “COTE D IVOIRE”
