- I exported the CCAFS and IITA communities, extracted just the country and region columns, then ran them through csv-metadata-quality to fix the regions
- Add a few more authors to my CSV with author names and ORCID identifiers and tag 283 items!
- Replace "East Asia" with "Eastern Asia" region on CGSpace (UN M.49 region)

- CGSpace and PRMS information session with Enrico and a bunch of researchers
- I noticed some minor issues with SPDX licenses and AGROVOC terms in items submitted by TIP so I sent a message to Daniel from Alliance
- I startd a harvest on AReS since we've updated so much metadata recently
## 2022-12-02
- File some issues related to metadata on the MEL issue tracker
- [Only use "Open Access" or "Limited Access" access rights when publishing items on CGSpace](https://github.com/CodeObia/MEL/issues/11066)
- [Set the description when submitting bitstreams to CGSpace](https://github.com/CodeObia/MEL/issues/11067)
- [Some items have a Creative Commons license, but are Limited Access and bitstreams are locked](https://github.com/CodeObia/MEL/issues/11068)
- Out of the box they match 26.4%, but there are many institutions with multiple languages in the text value, as well as countries in parentheses so I think it could be higher
- If I replace the slashes and remove the countries at the end there are slightly more matches, around 29%:
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value as "cg.contributor.affiliation", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND metadata_field_id = 211 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC LIMIT 1000) to /tmp/2022-11-22-affiliations.csv;
- I realized we should actually check affiliations and sponsors, since those are stored in separate fields
- When I add those the matches go down a bit to 45%
- Oh man, I realized institutions like `Université d'Abomey Calavi` don't match in ROR because they are like this in the JSON:
```console
"name": "Universit\u00e9 d'Abomey-Calavi"
```
- So we likely match a bunch more than 50%...
- I exported a list of affiliations and donors from CGSpace for Peter to look over and send corrections
## 2022-12-05
- First day of PRMS technical workshop in Rome
- Last night I submitted a CSV import with changes to 1,500 Alliance items (adding regions) and it hadn't completed after twenty-four hours so I canceled it
- Not sure if there is some rollback that will happen or what state the database will be in, so I will wait a few hours to see what happens before trying to modify those items again
- I started it again a few hours later with a subset of the items and 4GB of RAM instead of 2
- It completed successfully...
## 2022-12-07
- I found a bug in my csv-metadata-quality script regarding the regions
- I was accidentally checking `cg.coverage.subregion` due to a sloppy regex
- This means I've added a few thousand UN M.49 regions to the `cg.coverage.subregion` field in the last few days
- I had to extract them from CGSpace and delete them using `delete-metadata-values.py`
- My [DSpace 7.x pull request to tell ImageMagick about the PDF CropBox](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8550) was merged
- After that there were still some poorly formatted ones that my script didn't fix, so perhaps these are new ones not in our list
- I dumped them and combined with the existing ones to resolve later:
```console
localhost/dspace= ☘ \COPY (SELECT dspace_object_id,text_value FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_field_id=247 AND text_value LIKE '%http%') to /tmp/orcid-formatting.txt;
