Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace
CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles
They might come in at the top level in one “CGIAR System” community, or with several communities
I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?
Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days
Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI
Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the filter-media bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: DS-3516
Discovered that the ImageMagic filter-media plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK
Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see 10568⁄51999):

<li>Discovered that the ImageMagic <code>filter-media</code> plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK</li>
<li>Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/51999"><sup>10568</sup>⁄<sub>51999</sub></a>):</li>
<li>This results in discolored thumbnails when compared to the original PDF, for example sRGB and CMYK:</li>

<li>I created a patch for DS-3517 and made a pull request against upstream <code>dspace-5_x</code>: <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1669">https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1669</a></li>
<li>Looks like <code>-colorspace sRGB</code> alone isn’t enough, we need to use profiles:</li>
<li>This reads the input file, applies the CMYK profile, applies the RGB profile, then writes the file</li>
<li>Note that you should set the first profile immediately after the input file</li>
<li>Also, it is better to use profiles than setting <code>-colorspace</code></li>
<li>This is a great resource describing the color stuff: <ahref="http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#profiles">http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/formats/#profiles</a></li>
<li>Somehow we need to detect the color system being used by the input file and handle each case differently (with profiles)</li>
<li>This is trivial with <code>identify</code> (even by the <ahref="http://im4java.sourceforge.net/api/org/im4java/core/IMOps.html#identify">Java ImageMagick API</a>):</li>
<li>Spent more time looking at the ImageMagick CMYK issue</li>
<li>The <code>default_cmyk.icc</code> and <code>default_rgb.icc</code> files are both part of the Ghostscript GPL distribution, but according to DSpace’s <code>LICENSES_THIRD_PARTY</code> file, DSpace doesn’t allow distribution of dependencies that are licensed solely under the GPL</li>
<li>So this issue is kinda pointless now, as the ICC profiles are absolutely necessary to make a meaningful CMYK→sRGB conversion</li>

<li>Look into helping developers from landportal.info with a query for items related to LAND on the REST API</li>
<li>They want something like the items that are returned by the general “LAND” query in the search interface, but we cannot do that</li>
<li>We can only return specific results for metadata fields, like:</li>
<li>But there are hundreds of combinations of fields and values (like <code>dc.subject</code> and all the center subjects), and we can’t use wildcards in REST!</li>
<li>Reading about enabling multiple handle prefixes in DSpace</li>
<li>There is a mailing list thread from 2011 about it: <ahref="http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Multiple-handle-prefixes-merged-DSpace-instances-td3427192.html">http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/Multiple-handle-prefixes-merged-DSpace-instances-td3427192.html</a></li>

<li>Bram mentions an undocumented configuration option <code>handle.plugin.checknameauthority</code>, but I noticed another one in <code>dspace.cfg</code>:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code># List any additional prefixes that need to be managed by this handle server
# (as for examle handle prefix coming from old dspace repository merged in
# that repository)
# handle.additional.prefixes = prefix1[, prefix2]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Because of this I noticed that our Handle server’s <code>config.dct</code> was potentially misconfigured!</li>
<li>We had some default values still present:</li>

<li>I set up a top-level community as a test for the CGIAR Library and imported one item with the the 10947 handle prefix</li>
<li>When testing the Handle resolver locally it shows the item to be on the local repository</li>
<li>So this seems to work, with the following caveats:
<ul>
<li>New items will have the default handle</li>
<li>Communities and collections will have the default handle</li>
<li>Only items imported manually can have the other handles</li>
</ul></li>
<li>I need to talk to Michael and Peter to share the news, and discuss the structure of their community(s) and try some actual test data</li>
<li>We’ll need to do some data cleaning to make sure they are using the same fields we are, like <code>dc.type</code> and <code>cg.identifier.status</code></li>
<li>Another thing is that the import process creates new <code>dc.date.accessioned</code> and <code>dc.date.available</code> fields, so we end up with duplicates (is it important to preserve the originals for these?)</li>
