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>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 “CGIAR System” 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>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>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 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>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>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>And a comment from Atmire’s Bram about it on the DSpace wiki: <ahref="https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Installing+DSpace?focusedCommentId=78163296#comment-78163296">https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Installing+DSpace?focusedCommentId=78163296#comment-78163296</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>Submit pull request to set the author separator for XMLUI item lists to a semicolon instead of “,”: <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/306">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/306</a></li>
<li>I want to show it briefly to Abenet and Peter to get feedback</li>
<li>Someone on the mailing list said that <code>handle.plugin.checknameauthority</code> should be false if we’re using multiple handle prefixes</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>
<li>Merge the author separator changes to <code>5_x-prod</code>, as everyone has responded positively about it, and it’s the default in Mirage2 afterall!</li>
<li>Cherry pick the <code>commons-collections</code> patch from DSpace’s <code>dspace-5_x</code> branch to address DS-3520: <ahref="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3520">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3520</a></li>
