<li>I used my <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/csv-metadata-quality">csv-metadata-quality</a> tool to check and fix some low-hanging fruit first</li>
<li>This fixed a few unnecessary Unicode, excessive whitespace, invalid multi-value separator, and duplicate metadata values</li>
<li>Then I looked at the data in OpenRefine and noticed some things:

<li>All issue dates use year only, but some have months in the citation so they could be more specific</li>
<li>I normalized all the DOIs to use “<ahref="https://doi.org">https://doi.org</a>” format</li>
<li>I fixed a few AGROVOC subjects with a simple GREL: <code>value.replace("GRAINS","GRAIN").replace("SOILS","SOIL").replace("CORN","MAIZE")</code></li>
<li>But there are a few more that are invalid that she will have to look at</li>

</li>
<li>Looking at the top user agents active on CGSpace in 2020-08 and I see:
<ul>
<li><code>Delphi 2009</code>: 235353 (this is GARDIAN harvester I guess, as the IP is in Greece)</li>
<li><code>Mozilla/4.5 (compatible; HTTrack 3.0x; Windows 98)</code>: 57004 (IP is 18.196.100.94, and the requests seem to be for CTA’s content)</li>
<li>Shit, I meant to add Delphi to the DSpace spider agents list last month but I guess I didn’t commit the change</li>
<li>HTTrack is in the agents list so I’m not sure why DSpace registers a hit from that request</li>
<li>Also, I am surprised to see the RTB and ILRI bots here because they have “BOT” in the name and that should also be dropped</li>
<li>I also see hits from <code>curl</code> and <code>Java/1.8.0_66</code> and <code>Apache-HttpClient</code> so WTF… those are supposed to be dropped by the default agents list</li>
<li>Some IP <code>2607:f298:5:101d:f816:3eff:fed9:a484</code> made 9,000 requests with the <code>RI/1.0</code> user agent this year…
<ul>
<li>That’s on DreamHost…?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I purged 448658 hits from these agents and added <code>Delphi</code> to our local agents overload for Solr as well as Tomcat’s Crawler Session Manager Valve so that it forces them to re-use a single session</li>
<li>I made a pull request on the COUNTER-Robots project for the Daum robot: <ahref="https://github.com/atmire/COUNTER-Robots/pull/38">https://github.com/atmire/COUNTER-Robots/pull/38</a>

<li>I told him that they could use the DSpace authority control framework and sent an example of the VIAFAuthority from the DSpace-CRIS project: <ahref="https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/VIAFAuthority.java">https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/VIAFAuthority.java</a></li>

<li>A few days ago IWMI asked us if we can add a new field on CGSpace for their library identifier

<li>The IDs look like this: H049940</li>
<li>I suggested that we use <code>cg.identifier.iwmilibrary</code></li>
<li>I added it to the input forms and push it to the <code>5_x-prod</code> and 6.x branches and will re-deploy it in the next few days</li>

</li>
<li>Abenet asked me to import sixty-nine (69) CIP Annual Reports to CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I looked at the data in OpenRefine and it is very good quality</li>
<li>I only added descriptions to the filename field so that SAFBuilder will add them to the bitstreams on import:</li>

<ul>
<li>Looking further into Carlos Tejos’s question about integrating LandVoc (the AGROVOC subset) into DSpace
<ul>
<li>I see that you can actually get LandVoc concepts directly from AGROVOC’s SPARQL, for example with <ahref="http://agrovoc.uniroma2.it/sparql#query=PREFIX+rdfs%3A+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2F01%2Frdf-schema%23%3E%0APREFIX+skos%3A+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2004%2F02%2Fskos%2Fcore%23%3E%0A%0ASELECT+%3Fconcept%0AWHERE+%7B%0A++%3Fconcept+a+skos%3AConcept+%3B%0A+++++++++++skos%3AinScheme+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Flandvoc.org%2Flandvoc%3E+.%0A%0A%7D+ORDER+BY+%3Fconcept&contentTypeConstruct=text%2Fturtle&contentTypeSelect=application%2Fsparql-results%2Bjson&endpoint=http%3A%2F%2Fagrovoc.uniroma2.it%2Fsparql&requestMethod=POST&tabTitle=Query&headers=%7B%7D&outputFormat=table">this query</a></li>
<li>So maybe we can query AGROVOC directly using a similar method to <ahref="https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/content/authority/TGNAuthority.java">DSpace-CRIS’s GettyAuthority</a></li>
<li>I wired up DSpace-CRIS’s VIAFAuthority to see how authorities for auto suggested names get stored

<li>After submission you can see the item’s VIAF identifier:</li>
<li>I sent a follow-up message to Atmire to look into the two remaining issues with the DSpace 6 upgrade

</ul>
</li>
<li>Help Natalia and Cathy from Bioversity-CIAT with their OpenSearch query on “trade offs” again
<ul>
<li>They wanted to build a search query with multiple filters (type, crpsubject, status) and the general query “trade offs”</li>
<li>I found a great <ahref="https://www.kiwi.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=45782169">reference for DSpace’s OpenSearch syntax</a> (albeit in Finnish, but the example URLs show the syntax clearly)</li>
