<li>Export a list of authors from CGSpace for Peter Ballantyne to look through and correct:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value as "dc.contributor.author", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 3 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC) to /tmp/2020-01-08-authors.csv WITH CSV HEADER;

<li>As I always have encoding issues with files Peter sends, I tried to convert it to some Windows encoding, but got an error:</li>
$ sed -n '5227p' /tmp/2020-01-08-authors.csv | xxd -c1
00000000: 22 "
00000001: 4f O

00000004: cc .

00000006: 64 d
00000007: 72 r
</code></pre><ul>
<li><del>According to the blog post linked above the troublesome character is probably the “High Octect Preset” (81)</del>, which vim identifies (using <code>ga</code> on the character) as:</li>
<li>If I understand the situation correctly it sounds like this means that the character is not actually encoded as UTF-8, so it's stored incorrectly in the database…</li>
<li>Other encodings like <code>windows-1251</code> and <code>windows-1257</code> also fail on different characters like “ž” and “é” that <em>are</em> legitimate UTF-8 characters</li>
<li>Then there is the issue of Russian, Chinese, etc characters, which are simply not representable in any of those encodings</li>
<li>I think the solution is to upload it to Google Docs, or just send it to him and deal with each case manually in the corrections he sends me</li>
<li>Re-deploy DSpace Test (linode19) with a fresh snapshot of the CGSpace database and assetstore, and using the <code>5_x-prod</code> (no CG Core v2) branch</li>

<li>I checked the yearly Solr statistics sharding cron job that should have run on 2020-01 on CGSpace (linode18) and saw that there was an error
<ul>
<li>I manually ran it on the server as the DSpace user and it said “Moving: 51633080 into core statistics-2019”</li>
<li>After a few hours it died with the same error that I had seen in the log from the first run:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Exception: Read timed out
java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
</code></pre><ul>
<li>I am not sure how I will fix that shard…</li>
<li>I discovered a very interesting tool called <ahref="https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/python-ftfy">ftfy</a> that attempts to fix errors in UTF-8
<ul>
<li>I'm curious to start checking input files with this to see what it highlights</li>
<li>I ran it on the authors file from last week and it converted characters like those with Spanish accents from multi-byte sequences (I don't know what it's called?) to digraphs (é→é), which vim identifies as:</li>
<li><code><é> 233, Hex 00e9, Oct 351, Digr e'</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Ah hah! We need to be <ahref="https://withblue.ink/2019/03/11/why-you-need-to-normalize-unicode-strings.html">normalizing characters into their canonical forms</a>!
<ul>
<li>In Python 3.8 we can even <ahref="https://docs.python.org/3/library/unicodedata.html">check if the string is normalized using the <code>unicodedata</code> library</a>:</li>
<li>I added support for Unicode normalization to my <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/csv-metadata-quality">csv-metadata-quality</a> tool in <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/csv-metadata-quality/releases/tag/v0.4.0">v0.4.0</a></li>
<li>Generate ILRI and Bioversity subject lists for Elizabeth Arnaud from Bioversity:</li>

<li>She will be meeting with FAO and will look over the terms to see if they can add some to AGROVOC</li>
<li>I noticed a few errors in the ILRI subjects so I fixed them locally and on CGSpace (linode18) using my <code>fix-metadata.py</code> script:</li>
<li>Extract a list of CIAT subjects from CGSpace for Elizabeth Arnaud from Bioversity:</li>
</ul>

<li>Start examining the 175 IITA records that Bosede originally sent in October, 2019 (201907.xls)
<ul>
<li>We had delayed processing them because DSpace Test (linode19) was testing CG Core v2 implementation for the last few months</li>
<li>Sisay uploaded the records to DSpace Test as <ahref="https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/106567">IITA_201907_Jan13</a></li>
<li>I started first with basic sanity checks using my csv-metadata-quality tool and found twenty-two items with extra whitespace, invalid multi-value separators, and duplicates, which means Sisay did not do any quality checking on the data</li>
<li>I corrected one invalid AGROVOC subject</li>
<li>Validate and normalize affiliations against our 2019-04 list using reconcile-csv and OpenRefine:
<ul>
<li><code>$ lein run ~/src/git/DSpace/2019-04-08-affiliations.csv name id</code></li>
<li>I always forget how to copy the reconciled values in OpenRefine, but you need to make a new colum and populate it using this GREL: <code>if(cell.recon.matched, cell.recon.match.name, value)</code></li>
<li>Merged: <ahref="https://github.com/AgriculturalSemantics/cg-core/pull/18">Build main.css using npm build</a></li>
<li>Approved a <ahref="https://github.com/AgriculturalSemantics/cg-core/issues/14">wider scope for <code>cg.peer-reviewed</code></a> (renaming the field and using non-boolean values), but there is more discussion needed</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I opened a new <ahref="https://github.com/AgriculturalSemantics/cg-core/pull/24">pull request</a> on the cg-core repository validate and fix the formatting of the HTML files</li>
<li>Create more issues for OpenRXV:
<ul>
<li>Based on Peter's feedback on the <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/33">text for labels and tooltips</a></li>
<li>Based on Peter's feedback for the <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/OpenRXV/issues/35">export icon</a></li>

<li>I tried to create a MaxMind account so I can download the GeoLite2-City database with a license key, but their server refuses to accept me:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Sorry, we were not able to create your account. Please ensure that you are using an email that is not disposable, and that you are not connecting via a proxy or VPN.

<ul>
<li>This will be a problem in the future (see <ahref="https://jira.lyrasis.org/browse/DS-4409">DS-4409</a>)</li>
<li>Peter sent me his corrections for the list of authors that I had sent him earlier in the month
<ul>
<li>There were encoding issues when I checked the file in vim and using Python-based tools, but OpenRefine was able to read and export it as UTF-8</li>
<li>I will apply them on CGSpace and DSpace Test using my <code>fix-metadata-values.py</code> script:</li>
<li>Then I decided to export them again (with two author columns) so I can perform the new Unicode normalization mode I added to <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/csv-metadata-quality">csv-metadata-quality</a>:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>dspace=# \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT text_value as "dc.contributor.author", count(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id = 2 AND metadata_field_id = 3 GROUP BY text_value ORDER BY count DESC) to /tmp/2020-01-22-authors.csv WITH CSV HEADER;
<li>Peter asked me to send him a list of affiliations to correct
<ul>
<li>First I decided to export them and run the Unicode normalizations and syntax checks with csv-metadata-quality and re-import the cleaned up values:</li>

<li>Abenet said she noticed that she gets different results on AReS and Atmire Listing and Reports, for example with author “Hung, Nguyen”
<ul>
<li>I generated a report for 2019 and 2020 with each and I see there are indeed ten more Handles in the results from L&R:</li>
<li>Comparing the lists of items, I see that nine of the ten missing items were added less than twenty-four hours ago, and the other was added last week, so they apparently just haven't been indexed yet
<ul>
<li>I am curious to check tomorrow to see if they are there</li>
