Troubleshooting the missing Altmetric scores on AReS
Turns out that I didn’t actually fix them last month because the check for content.altmetric still exists, and I can’t access the DOIs using _h.source.DOI for some reason
I can access all other kinds of item metadata using the Elasticsearch label, but not DOI!!!
I will change DOI to tomato in the repository setup and start a re-harvest… I need to see if this is some kind of reserved word or something…

<li>Troubleshooting the missing Altmetric scores on AReS
<ul>
<li>Turns out that I didn’t actually fix them last month because the check for <code>content.altmetric</code> still exists, and I can’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… I need to see if this is some kind of reserved word or something…</li>
<li>Even as <code>tomato</code> I can’t access that field as <code>_h.source.tomato</code> in Angular, but it does work as a filter source… sigh</li>
<li>Checking last month’s Solr statistics to see if there are any new bots that I need to purge and add to the list

<li>I also noticed that we still have tons (25,000) of requests by MSNbot using this normal-looking user agent: <code>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko</code></li>
<li>I can identify them by their reverse DNS: msnbot-40-77-167-105.search.msn.com.</li>
<li>I had already purged a bunch of these by their IPs in 2021-06, so it looks like I have to do that again</li>
<li>While looking at the MSN requests I noticed tons of requests from another strange host using reverse IP DNS: malta2095.startdedicated.com., astra5139.startdedicated.com., and many others</li>
<li>They must be related, because I see them all using the exact same user agent: <code>Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko</code></li>
<li>So this startdedicated.com DNS is some Bing bot also…</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I extracted all the IPs and purged them using my <code>check-spider-ip-hits.sh</code> script
<ul>
<li>In total I purged 225,000 hits…</li>

<li>Mishell Portilla asked me about thumbnails on CGSpace being small
<ul>
<li>For example, <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/114576">10568/114576</a> has a lot of white space on the left side</li>
<li>I created a new thumbnail with vipsthumbnail:</li>
<li>Some people from the Alliance contacted me last week about AICCRA metadata
<ul>
<li>They have internal things called Components and Clusters, so they were asking how to store these in CGSpace</li>
<li>I suggested adding new metadata values: <code>cg.subject.aiccraComponent</code> and cg.subject.aiccraCluster`</li>
<li>On second thought, these are identifiers so perhaps this is better: <code>cg.identifier.aiccraComponent</code> and <code>cg.identifier.aiccraCluster</code></li>
</ul>

<li>Also tag their twenty-five existing items on CGSpace:</li>
<li>Meeting with Leroy Mwanzia and some other Alliance people about depositing to CGSpace via API
<ul>
<li>I gave them some technical information about the CGSpace API and links to the controlled vocabularies and metadata registries we are using</li>
<li>I also told them that I would create some documentation listing the metadata fields, which are mandatory, and the respective controlled vocabularies</li>
<li>Start writing a Python script to parse <code>input-forms.xml</code> to create documentation for submissions
<ul>
<li>Found a bug with the DSpace 6.3 REST API, it returns HTTP 500 for <code>dc.title</code> even though it exists in the registry: <ahref="https://demo.dspace.org/rest/registries/schema/dc/metadata-fields/title">https://demo.dspace.org/rest/registries/schema/dc/metadata-fields/title</a></li>
<li>Seems to be with any field that does not have a qualifier</li>
<li>I filed an issue: <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/7946">https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/7946</a></li>
<li>I decided to update all the metadata field descriptions in our registry so I can use that instead of the “hint” for each field in the input form

<li>I will include examples as well so that it becomes a better resource</li>

<li>The earliest one I see is around midnight (now is 2PM):</li>
<li>Continue working on cleaning up and annotating the metadata registry on CGSpace

<li>I removed two old metadata fields that we stopped using earlier this year with the CG Core v2 migration: <code>cg.targetaudience</code> and <code>cg.title.journal</code></li>

<li>I sent a message to CGNET to ask about the server settings and see if our IP is still whitelisted

<li>Peter sent me back the corrections for the affiliations

<li>It is about 1,280 corrections and fourteen deletions</li>
