<li>Remove <code>cg.subject.wle</code> and <code>cg.identifier.wletheme</code> from CGSpace input form after confirming with IWMI colleagues that they no longer need them (WLE closed in 2021)</li>
<li><a href="https://salsa.debian.org/iso-codes-team/iso-codes/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#4130-2023-02-28">iso-codes 4.13.0 was released</a>, which incorporates my changes to the common names for Iran, Laos, and Syria</li>
<li>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</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add a few more authors to my CSV with author names and ORCID identifiers and tag 283 items!</li>
<li>Replace &ldquo;East Asia&rdquo; with &ldquo;Eastern Asia&rdquo; region on CGSpace (UN M.49 region)</li>
<li>Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I also updated all my local <code>7_x-dev</code> branches on the latest upstreams</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
<ul>
<li>I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can&rsquo;t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue</li>
<li>Start a harvest on AReS last night</li>
<li>Yesterday I realized how to use <a href="https://im4java.sourceforge.net/docs/dev-guide.html">GraphicsMagick with im4java</a> and I want to re-visit some of my thumbnail tests
<ul>
<li>I&rsquo;m also interested in libvips support via jVips, though last time I checked it was only for Java 8</li>
<li>I filed <a href="https://github.com/criteo/JVips/issues/141">an issue to ask about Java 11+ support</a></li>
<li>Our request to add <a href="https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/1525">CC-BY-3.0-IGO to SPDX</a> was approved a few weeks ago</li>
<li>I learned how to use the Levenshtein functions in PostgreSQL
<ul>
<li>The thing is that there is a limit of 255 characters for these functions in PostgreSQL so you need to truncate the strings before comparing</li>
<li>Also, the trgm functions I&rsquo;ve used before are case insensitive, but Levenshtein is not, so you need to make sure to lower case both strings first</li>
<li>I see 167,000 hits from a bunch of Microsoft IPs with reverse DNS &ldquo;msnbot-&rdquo; using the Solr query <code>dns:*msnbot* AND dns:*.msn.com</code></li>
<li>I purged these first so I could see the other &ldquo;real&rdquo; IPs in the Solr facets</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I see 47,500 hits from 80.248.237.167 on a data center ISP in Sweden, using a normal user agent</li>
<li>I see 13,000 hits from 163.237.216.11 on a data center ISP in Australia, using a normal user agent</li>
<li>I see 7,300 hits from 208.185.238.57 from Britanica, using a normal user agent
<ul>
<li>There seem to be many more of these:</li>
<li>I found a few more IPs making requests using the shady Chrome 44 user agent in the last few days so I will add them to the block list too:
<ul>
<li>18.207.136.176</li>
<li>185.189.36.248</li>
<li>50.118.223.78</li>
<li>52.70.76.123</li>
<li>3.236.10.11</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Looking at the Solr statistics for 2022-04
<ul>
<li>52.191.137.59 is Microsoft, but they are using a normal user agent and making tens of thousands of requests</li>
<li>64.39.98.62 is owned by Qualys, and all their requests are probing for /etc/passwd etc</li>
<li>185.192.69.15 is in the Netherlands and is using a normal user agent, but making excessive automated HTTP requests to paths forbidden in robots.txt</li>
<li>157.55.39.159 is owned by Microsoft and identifies as bingbot so I don&rsquo;t know why its requests were logged in Solr</li>
<li>52.233.67.176 is owned by Microsoft and uses a normal user agent, but making excessive automated HTTP requests</li>
<li>157.55.39.144 is owned by Microsoft and uses a normal user agent, but making excessive automated HTTP requests</li>
<li>207.46.13.177 is owned by Microsoft and identifies as bingbot so I don&rsquo;t know why its requests were logged in Solr</li>
<li>If I query Solr for <code>time:2022-04* AND dns:*msnbot* AND dns:*.msn.com.</code> I see a handful of IPs that made 41,000 requests</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I purged 93,974 hits from these IPs using my <code>check-spider-ip-hits.sh</code> script</li>
<description>2022-04-01 I did G1GC tests on DSpace Test (linode26) to compliment the CMS tests I did yesterday The Discovery indexing took this long: real 334m33.625s user 227m51.331s sys 3m43.037s 2022-04-04 Start a full harvest on AReS Help Marianne with submit/approve access on a new collection on CGSpace Go back in Gaia&rsquo;s batch reports to find records that she indicated for replacing on CGSpace (ie, those with better new copies, new versions, etc) Looking at the Solr statistics for 2022-03 on CGSpace I see 54.</description>
<li>Meeting with Peter and Abenet about CGSpace in the One CGIAR
<ul>
<li>We agreed to buy $5,000 worth of credits from Atmire for future upgrades</li>
<li>We agreed to move CRPs and non-CGIAR communities off the home page, as well as some other things for the CGIAR System Organization</li>
<li>We agreed to make a Discovery facet for CGIAR Action Areas above the existing CGIAR Impact Areas one</li>
<li>We agreed to try to do more alignment of affiliations/funders with ROR</li>
<li>Atmire merged some changes I had submitted to the COUNTER-Robots project</li>
<li>I updated our local spider user agents and then re-ran the list with my <code>check-spider-hits.sh</code> script on CGSpace:</li>
</span></span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#960050;background-color:#1e0010"></span>Total number of bot hits purged: 3679
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console"><span style="display:flex;"><span>localhost/dspace63= &gt; \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value as &#34;cg.contributor.affiliation&#34;, 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) to /tmp/2021-10-01-affiliations.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
<li>Troubleshooting the missing Altmetric scores on AReS
<ul>
<li>Turns out that I didn&rsquo;t actually fix them last month because the check for <code>content.altmetric</code> still exists, and I can&rsquo;t access the DOIs using <code>_h.source.DOI</code> for some reason</li>
<li>I can access all other kinds of item metadata using the Elasticsearch label, but not DOI!!!</li>
<li>I will change <code>DOI</code> to <code>tomato</code> in the repository setup and start a re-harvest&hellip; I need to see if this is some kind of reserved word or something&hellip;</li>
<li>Even as <code>tomato</code> I can&rsquo;t access that field as <code>_h.source.tomato</code> in Angular, but it does work as a filter source&hellip; sigh</li>
<div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console"><span style="display:flex;"><span>localhost/dspace63= &gt; \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT LOWER(text_value) AS subject, count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id in (SELECT dspace_object_id FROM item) AND metadata_field_id IN (119, 120, 127, 122, 128, 125, 135, 203, 208, 210, 215, 123, 236, 242, 187) GROUP BY subject ORDER BY count DESC) to /tmp/2021-07-01-all-subjects.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
<li>IWMI notified me that AReS was down with an HTTP 502 error
<ul>
<li>Looking at UptimeRobot I see it has been down for 33 hours, but I never got a notification</li>
<li>I don&rsquo;t see anything in the Elasticsearch container logs, or the systemd journal on the host, but I notice that the <code>angular_nginx</code> container isn&rsquo;t running</li>
<li>I simply started it and AReS was running again:</li>
<li>&ldquo;Microsoft Office Word 2014&rdquo;, 941</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I will add the RI/1.0 pattern to our DSpace agents overload and purge them from Solr (we had previously seen this agent with 9,000 hits or so in 2020-09), but I think I will leave the Microsoft Word one&hellip; as that&rsquo;s an actual user&hellip;</li>
<description><p>Changes to CGSpace metadata fields to align more with DC, QDC, and DCTERMS as well as CG Core v2. Implemented on 2021-02-21.</p>
<p>With reference to <a href="https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html">CG Core v2 draft standard</a> by Marie-Angélique as well as <a href="http://www.dublincore.org/specifications/dublin-core/dcmi-terms/">DCMI DCTERMS</a>.</p></description>
<li>Abenet said that CIP found more duplicate records in their export from AReS
<ul>
<li>I re-opened <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/67">the issue</a> on OpenRXV where we had previously noticed this</li>
<li>The shared link where the duplicates are is here: <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/explorer/shared/heEOz3YBnXdK69bR2ra6">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/explorer/shared/heEOz3YBnXdK69bR2ra6</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I had a call with CodeObia to discuss the work on OpenRXV</li>
<li>Peter notified me that some filters on AReS were broken again
<ul>
<li>It&rsquo;s the same issue with the field names getting <code>.keyword</code> appended to the end that I already <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/66">filed an issue on OpenRXV about last month</a></li>
<li>I fixed the broken filters (careful to not edit any others, lest they break too!)</li>
<li>Fix an issue with start page number for the DSpace REST API and statistics API in OpenRXV
<ul>
<li>The start page had been &ldquo;1&rdquo; in the UI, but in the backend they were doing some gymnastics to adjust to the zero-based offset/limit/page of the DSpace REST API and the statistics API</li>
<li>I adjusted it to default to 0 and added a note to the admin screen</li>
<li>I realized that this issue was actually causing the first page of 100 statistics to be missing&hellip;</li>
<li>For example, <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/66839">this item</a> has 51 views on CGSpace, but 0 on AReS</li>
<li>Atmire responded about the issue with duplicate data in our Solr statistics
<ul>
<li>They noticed that some records in the statistics-2015 core haven&rsquo;t been migrated with the AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI tool yet and assumed that I haven&rsquo;t migrated any of the records yet</li>
<li>That&rsquo;s strange, as I checked all ten cores and 2015 is the only one with some unmigrated documents, as according to the <code>cua_version</code> field</li>
<li>I started processing those (about 411,000 records):</li>
<li>Add tests for the new <code>/items</code> POST handlers to the DSpace 6.x branch of my <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/tree/v6_x">dspace-statistics-api</a>
<ul>
<li>It took a bit of extra work because I had to learn how to mock the responses for when Solr is not available</li>
<li>Tag and release version 1.3.0 on GitHub: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/releases/tag/v1.3.0">https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api/releases/tag/v1.3.0</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Trying to test the changes Atmire sent last week but I had to re-create my local database from a recent CGSpace dump
<ul>
<li>During the FlywayDB migration I got an error:</li>
<li>Replace Marissa van Epp for Rhys Bucknall in the CCAFS groups on CGSpace because Marissa no longer works at CCAFS</li>
<li>The AReS Explorer hasn&rsquo;t updated its index since 2020-08-22 when I last forced it
<ul>
<li>I restarted it again now and told Moayad that the automatic indexing isn&rsquo;t working</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add <code>Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT</code> to affiliations on CGSpace</li>
<li>Abenet told me that the general search text on AReS doesn&rsquo;t get reset when you use the &ldquo;Reset Filters&rdquo; button
<ul>
<li>I filed a bug on OpenRXV: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/39">https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/39</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I filed an issue on OpenRXV to make some minor edits to the admin UI: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40">https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/40</a></li>
<li>I spent a few days working on a Java-based curation task to tag items with ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 country codes based on their <code>cg.coverage.country</code> text values
<ul>
<li>It looks up the names in ISO 3166-1 first, and then in our CGSpace countries mapping (which has five or so of Peter&rsquo;s preferred &ldquo;display&rdquo; country names)</li>
<li>It implements a &ldquo;force&rdquo; mode too that will clear existing country codes and re-tag everything</li>
<li>It is class based so I can easily add support for other vocabularies, and the technique could even be used for organizations with mappings to ROR and Clarisa&hellip;</li>
<li>A few users noticed that CGSpace wasn&rsquo;t loading items today, item pages seem blank
<ul>
<li>I looked at the PostgreSQL locks but they don&rsquo;t seem unusual</li>
<li>I guess this is the same &ldquo;blank item page&rdquo; issue that we had a few times in 2019 that we never solved</li>
<li>I restarted Tomcat and PostgreSQL and the issue was gone</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Since I was restarting Tomcat anyways I decided to redeploy the latest changes from the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch and I added a note about COVID-19 items to the CGSpace frontpage at Peter&rsquo;s request</li>
<li>I tried to run the <code>AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI</code> CUA migration script on DSpace Test (linode26) again and it is still going very slowly and has tons of errors like I noticed yesterday
<li>Looking at the PostgreSQL stats it seems to be the same issue that Tezira was having last week, as I see the number of connections in &lsquo;idle in transaction&rsquo; and &lsquo;waiting for lock&rsquo; state are increasing again</li>
<li>I see that CGSpace (linode18) is still using PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.2.11, and there were some bugs related to transactions fixed in 42.2.12 (which I had updated in the Ansible playbooks, but not deployed yet)</li>
<li>Maria asked me to update Charles Staver&rsquo;s ORCID iD in the submission template and on CGSpace, as his name was lower case before, and now he has corrected it
<ul>
<li>I updated the fifty-eight existing items on CGSpace</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Looking into the items Udana had asked about last week that were missing Altmetric donuts:
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/103225">The first</a> is still missing its DOI, so I added it and <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1245632619661766657">tweeted its handle</a> (after a few hours there was a donut with score 222)</li>
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106899">The second item</a> now has a donut with score 2 since I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158045540134913">tweeted its handle</a> last week</li>
<li><a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/107258">The third item</a> now has a donut with score 1 since I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243158786392625153">tweeted it</a> last week</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>On the same note, the <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/106573">one item</a> Abenet pointed out last week now has a donut with score of 104 after I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1243163710241345536">tweeted it</a> last week</li>
<li>Update <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api">dspace-statistics-api</a> for DSpace 6+ UUIDs
<ul>
<li>Tag version 1.2.0 on GitHub</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Test migrating legacy Solr statistics to UUIDs with the as-of-yet unreleased <a href="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/commit/184f2b2153479045fba6239342c63e7f8564b8b6#diff-0350ce2e13b28d5d61252b7a8f50a059">SolrUpgradePre6xStatistics.java</a>
<ul>
<li>You need to download this into the DSpace 6.x source and compile it</li>
<li>Open <a href="https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=706">a ticket</a> with Atmire to request a quote for the upgrade to DSpace 6</li>
<li>Last week Altmetric responded about the <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/97087">item</a> that had a lower score than than its DOI
<ul>
<li>The score is now linked to the DOI</li>
<li>Another <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/91278">item</a> that had the same problem in 2019 has now also linked to the score for its DOI</li>
<li>Another <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/81236">item</a> that had the same problem in 2019 has also been fixed</li>
<li>Peter Ballantyne highlighted one more WLE <a href="https://hdl.handle.net/10568/101286">item</a> that is missing the Altmetric score that its DOI has
<ul>
<li>The DOI has a score of 259, but the Handle has no score at all</li>
<li>I <a href="https://twitter.com/mralanorth/status/1214471427157626881">tweeted</a> the CGSpace repository link</li>
<description>2019-10-01 Udana from IWMI asked me for a CSV export of their community on CGSpace I exported it, but a quick run through the csv-metadata-quality tool shows that there are some low-hanging fruits we can fix before I send him the data I will limit the scope to the titles, regions, subregions, and river basins for now to manually fix some non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) there that would otherwise be removed by the csv-metadata-quality script&rsquo;s &ldquo;unneccesary Unicode&rdquo; fix: $ csvcut -c &#39;id,dc.</description>
<li>Look at Bioversity&rsquo;s latest migration CSV and now I see that Francesco has cleaned up the extra columns and the newline at the end of the file, but many of the column headers have an extra space in the name&hellip;</li>
<li>Last month Sisay asked why the following &ldquo;most popular&rdquo; statistics link for a range of months in 2018 works for the CIAT community on DSpace Test, but not on CGSpace:
<li>Merge the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/425">Solr filterCache</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/426">XMLUI ISI journal</a> changes to the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch and deploy on CGSpace</li>
<li>Run system updates on CGSpace (linode18) and reboot it</li>
<li>Skype with Marie-Angélique and Abenet about <a href="https://agriculturalsemantics.github.io/cg-core/cgcore.html">CG Core v2</a></li>
<li>I checked IITA&rsquo;s 259 Feb 14 records from last month for duplicates using Atmire&rsquo;s Duplicate Checker on a fresh snapshot of CGSpace on my local machine and everything looks good</li>
<li>I am now only waiting to hear from her about where the items should go, though I assume Journal Articles go to IITA Journal Articles collection, etc&hellip;</li>
<li>I finished the ones for Restoring Degraded Landscapes (RDL), but these are for Variability, Risks and Competing Uses (VRC)</li>
<li>I did the usual cleanups for whitespace, added regions where they made sense for certain countries, cleaned up the DOI link formats, added rights information based on the publications page for a few items</li>
<li>Most worryingly, there are encoding errors in the abstracts for eleven items, for example:</li>
<li>68.15% <20> 9.45 instead of 68.15% ± 9.45</li>
<li>2003<EFBFBD>2013 instead of 2003–2013</li>
<li>Linode has alerted a few times since last night that the CPU usage on CGSpace (linode18) was high despite me increasing the alert threshold last week from 250% to 275%—I might need to increase it again!</li>
<li>Switch CGSpace (linode18) to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle JDK</li>
<li>I manually installed OpenJDK, then removed Oracle JDK, then re-ran the <a href="http://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible playbook</a> to update all configuration files, etc</li>
<li>Then I ran all system updates and restarted the server</li>
<li>I noticed that there is another issue with PDF thumbnails on CGSpace, and I see there was another <a href="https://usn.ubuntu.com/3831-1/">Ghostscript vulnerability last week</a></li>
<li>Finalize AReS Phase I and Phase II ToRs</li>
<li>Send a note about my <a href="https://github.com/ilri/dspace-statistics-api">dspace-statistics-api</a> to the dspace-tech mailing list</li>
<li>I created a GitHub issue to track this <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/389">#389</a>, because I&rsquo;m super busy in Nairobi right now</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ll update the DSpace role in our <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure playbooks</a> and run the updated playbooks on CGSpace and DSpace Test</li>
<li>Also, I&rsquo;ll re-run the <code>postgresql</code> tasks because the custom PostgreSQL variables are dynamic according to the system&rsquo;s RAM, and we never re-ran them after migrating to larger Linodes last month</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m testing the new DSpace 5.8 branch in my Ubuntu 18.04 environment and I&rsquo;m getting those autowire errors in Tomcat 8.5.30 again:</li>
<li>From the DSpace log I see that eventually Solr stopped responding, so I guess the <code>java</code> process that was OOM killed above was Tomcat&rsquo;s</li>
<li>I&rsquo;m not sure why Tomcat didn&rsquo;t crash with an OutOfMemoryError&hellip;</li>
<li>Anyways, perhaps I should increase the JVM heap from 5120m to 6144m like we did a few months ago when we tried to run the whole CGSpace Solr core</li>
<li>The server only has 8GB of RAM so we&rsquo;ll eventually need to upgrade to a larger one because we&rsquo;ll start starving the OS, PostgreSQL, and command line batch processes</li>
<li>There seems to be a problem with the CUA and L&amp;R versions in <code>pom.xml</code> because they are using SNAPSHOT and it doesn&rsquo;t build</li>
<li>I added the new CCAFS Phase II Project Tag <code>PII-FP1_PACCA2</code> and merged it into the <code>5_x-prod</code> branch (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/379">#379</a>)</li>
<li>I think a sane proofing workflow in OpenRefine is to apply the custom text facets for check/delete/remove and illegal characters that I developed in <a href="https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-03/">March, 2018</a></li>
<li>Time to index ~70,000 items on CGSpace:</li>
<li>Then I reduced the JVM heap size from 6144 back to 5120m</li>
<li>Also, I switched it to use OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java, as well as re-worked the <a href="https://github.com/ilri/rmg-ansible-public">Ansible infrastructure scripts</a> to support hosts choosing which distribution they want to use</li>
<li>I copied the logic in the <code>jmx_tomcat_dbpools</code> provided by Ubuntu&rsquo;s <code>munin-plugins-java</code> package and used the stuff I discovered about JMX <a href="https://alanorth.github.io/cgspace-notes/cgspace-notes/2018-01/">in 2018-01</a></li>
<li>The nginx logs show HTTP 200s until <code>02/Jan/2018:11:27:17 +0000</code> when Uptime Robot got an HTTP 500</li>
<li>In dspace.log around that time I see many errors like &ldquo;Client closed the connection before file download was complete&rdquo;</li>
<li>Danny wrote to ask for help renewing the wildcard ilri.org certificate and I advised that we should probably use Let&rsquo;s Encrypt if it&rsquo;s just a handful of domains</li>
<pre tabindex="0"><code>dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) as count from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id = (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = &#39;contributor&#39; and qualifier = &#39;author&#39;) AND resource_type_id = 2 group by text_value order by count desc) to /tmp/authors.csv with csv;
<li>Peter emailed to point out that many items in the <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/2703">ILRI archive collection</a> have multiple handles:</li>
<li>There appears to be a pattern but I&rsquo;ll have to look a bit closer and try to clean them up automatically, either in SQL or in OpenRefine</li>

<li>I looked in the Activity pane of the Admin Control Panel and it seems that Google, Baidu, Yahoo, and Bing are all crawling with massive numbers of bots concurrently (~100 total, mostly Baidu and Google)</li>
<li>The good thing is that, according to <code>dspace.log.2017-08-01</code>, they are all using the same Tomcat session</li>
<li>This means our Tomcat Crawler Session Valve is working</li>
<li>But many of the bots are browsing dynamic URLs like:
<li>The <code>robots.txt</code> only blocks the top-level <code>/discover</code> and <code>/browse</code> URLs&hellip; we will need to find a way to forbid them from accessing these!</li>
<li>Relevant issue from DSpace Jira (semi resolved in DSpace 6.0): <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962</a></li>
<li>It turns out that we&rsquo;re already adding the <code>X-Robots-Tag &quot;none&quot;</code> HTTP header, but this only forbids the search engine from <em>indexing</em> the page, not crawling it!</li>
<li>Also, the bot has to successfully browse the page first so it can receive the HTTP header&hellip;</li>
<li>We might actually have to <em>block</em> these requests with HTTP 403 depending on the user agent</li>
<li>Abenet pointed out that the CGIAR Library Historical Archive collection I sent July 20th only had ~100 entries, instead of 2415</li>
<li>This was due to newline characters in the <code>dc.description.abstract</code> column, which caused OpenRefine to choke when exporting the CSV</li>
<li>I exported a new CSV from the collection on DSpace Test and then manually removed the characters in vim using <code>g/^$/d</code></li>
<li>Then I cleaned up the author authorities and HTML characters in OpenRefine and sent the file back to Abenet</li>
<li>Looking at extracting the metadata registries from ICARDA&rsquo;s MEL DSpace database so we can compare fields with CGSpace</li>
<li>We can use PostgreSQL&rsquo;s extended output format (<code>-x</code>) plus <code>sed</code> to format the output into quasi XML:</li>
<description>2017-06-01 After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes The cg.identifier.wletheme field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes Then we&rsquo;ll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there The current &ldquo;Research Themes&rdquo; community will be renamed to &ldquo;WLE Phase I Research Themes&rdquo; Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: #328 Add cg.</description>
<description>2017-05-01 ICARDA apparently started working on CG Core on their MEL repository They have done a few cg.* fields, but not very consistent and even copy some of CGSpace items: https://mel.cgiar.org/xmlui/handle/20.500.11766/6911?show=full https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/73683 2017-05-02 Atmire got back about the Workflow Statistics issue, and apparently it&rsquo;s a bug in the CUA module so they will send us a pull request 2017-05-04 Sync DSpace Test with database and assetstore from CGSpace Re-deploy DSpace Test with Atmire&rsquo;s CUA patch for workflow statistics, run system updates, and restart the server Now I can see the workflow statistics and am able to select users, but everything returns 0 items Megan says there are still some mapped items are not appearing since last week, so I forced a full index-discovery -b Need to remember to check if the collection has more items (currently 39 on CGSpace, but 118 on the freshly reindexed DSPace Test) tomorrow: https://cgspace.</description>
<li>Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (&ldquo;MANAGING CLIMATE RISK&rdquo;): <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317</a></li>
<li>Quick proof-of-concept hack to add <code>dc.rights</code> to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:</li>

<li>Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace</li>
<li>CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles</li>
<li>They might come in at the top level in one &ldquo;CGIAR System&rdquo; community, or with several communities</li>
<li>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?</li>
<li>Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days</li>
<li>Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI</li>
<li>Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the <code>filter-media</code> bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3516">DS-3516</a></li>
<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&rsquo;s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x&rsquo;s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/51999">10568/51999</a>):</li>
<li>Create issue on GitHub to track the addition of CCAFS Phase II project tags (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/301">#301</a>)</li>
<li>I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn&rsquo;t work there either</li>
<li>I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I&rsquo;m not sure if we&rsquo;ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years</li>

<li>bower stuff is a dead end, waste of time, too many issues</li>
<li>Anything after Bootstrap 3.3.1 makes glyphicons disappear (HTTP 404 trying to access from incorrect path of <code>fonts</code>)</li>

<li>After reading the <a href="https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html">OAI documentation</a> and testing with an <a href="http://validator.oaipmh.com/">OAI validator</a> I found out how to get their publications</li>
<li>This is their publications set: <a href="http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc">http://ebrary.ifpri.org/oai/oai.php?verb=ListRecords&amp;from=2016-01-01&amp;set=p15738coll2&amp;metadataPrefix=oai_dc</a></li>

<li>I realized it is only necessary to clear the Cocoon cache after moving collections—rather than reindexing—as no metadata has changed, and therefore no search or browse indexes need to be updated.</li>
<li>Update GitHub wiki for documentation of <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/wiki/Maintenance-Tasks">maintenance tasks</a>.</li>
<li>Replace <code>lzop</code> with <code>xz</code> in log compression cron jobs on DSpace Test—it uses less space:</li>
