- Our request to add [CC-BY-3.0-IGO to SPDX](https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/issues/1525) was approved a few weeks ago

## 2022-08-02

- Resume working on the MARLO Innovations
  - Last week Jose had sent me an updated CSV with UTF-8 formatting, which was missing the filename column
  - I joined it with the older file (stripped down to just the `cg.number` and `filename` columns and then did the same cleanups I had done last week
  - I noticed there are six PDFs unused, so I asked Jose
- Spent some time trying to understand the REST API submission issues that Rafael from CIAT is having with tip-approve and tip-submit
  - First, according to my notes in 2020-10, a user must be a *collection admin* in order to submit via the REST API
  - Second, a collection must have a "Accept/Reject/Edit Metadata" step defined in the workflow
  - Also, I referenced my notes from this gist I had made for exactly this purpose! https://gist.github.com/alanorth/40fc3092aefd78f978cca00e8abeeb7a

## 2022-08-03

- I came up with an interesting idea to add missing countries and AGROVOC terms to the MARLO Innovation metadata
  - I copied the abstract column to two new fields: `countrytest` and `agrovoctest` and then used this Jython code as a transform to drop terms that don't match (using CGSpace's country list and list of 1,400 AGROVOC terms):

```python
with open(r"/tmp/cgspace-countries.txt",'r') as f :
    countries = [name.rstrip().lower() for name in f]

return "||".join([x for x in value.split(' ') if x.lower() in countries])
```

- Then I joined them with the other country and AGROVOC columns
  - I had originally tried to use csv-metadata-quality to look up and drop invalid AGROVOC terms but it was timing out ever dozen or so requests
  - Then I briefly tried to use lightrdf to export a text file of labels from AGROVOC's RDF, but I couldn't figure it out
  - I just realized this will not match countries with spaces in our cell value, ugh... and Jython has weird syntax and errors and I can't get normal Python code to work here, I'm missing something
- Then I extracted the titles, dates, and types and added IDs, then ran them through `check-duplicates.py` to find the existing items on CGSpace so I can add them as `dcterm.relation` links

```console
$ csvcut -l -c dc.title,dcterms.issued,dcterms.type ~/Downloads/2022-08-03-Innovations-Cleaned.csv | sed '1s/line_number/id/' > /tmp/innovations-temp.csv
$ ./ilri/check-duplicates.py -i /tmp/innovations-temp.csv -u dspacetest -db dspacetest -p 'dom@in34sniper' -o /tmp/ccafs-duplicates.csv
```

- There were about 115 with existing items on CGSpace
- Then I did some minor processing and checking of the duplicates file (for example, some titles appear more than once in both files), and joined with the other file (left join):

```console
$ csvjoin --left -c dc.title ~/Downloads/2022-08-03-Innovations-Cleaned.csv ~/Downloads/2022-08-03-Innovations-relations.csv > /tmp/innovations-with-relations.csv
```

- Then I used SAFBuilder to create a SimpleItemArchive and import to DSpace Test:

```console
$ export JAVA_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx2048m"
$ dspace import --add --eperson=aorth@mjanja.ch --source /tmp/SimpleArchiveFormat --mapfile=./2022-08-03-innovations.map
```

- Meeting with Mohammed Salem about harmonizing MEL and CGSpace metadata fields
  - I still need to share our results and recommendations with Peter, Enrico, Sara, Svetlana, et al
- I made some minor fixes to csv-metadata-quality while working on the MARLO CRP Innovations

## 2022-08-05

- I discussed issues with the DSpace 7 submission forms on Slack and Mark Wood found that the migration tool creates a non-working submission form
  - After updating the class name of the collection step and removing the "complete" and "sample" steps the submission form was working
  - Now the issue is that the controlled vocabularies show up like this:

![Controlled vocabulary bug in DSpace 7](/cgspace-notes/2022/08/dspace7-submission.png)

- I think we need to add IDs, I will have to check what the implications of that are
- Emilio contacted me last week to say they have re-worked their harvester on Hetzner to use a new user agent: `AICCRA website harvester`
  - I verified that I see it in the REST API logs, but I don't see any new stats hits for it
  - I do see 11,000 hits from that IP last month when I had the incorrect nginx configuration that was sending a literal `$http_user_agent` so I purged those
  - It is lucky that we have `harvest` in the DSpace spider agent example file so Solr doesn't log these hits, nothing needed to be done in nginx

## 2022-08-13

- I noticed there was high load on CGSpace, around 9 or 10
  - Looking at the Munin graphs it seems to just be the last two hours or so, with a slight increase in PostgreSQL connections, firewall traffic, and a more noticeable increase in CPU
  - DSpace sessions are normal
  - The number of unique hosts making requests to nginx is pretty low, though it's only 6AM in the server's time
- I see one IP in Sweden making a lot of requests with a normal user agent: 80.248.237.167
  - This host is on Internet Vikings (INTERNETBOLAGET), and I see 140,000 requests from them in Solr
  - I see reports of excessive scraping on AbuseIPDB.com
  - I'm gonna add their 80.248.224.0/20 to the bot-networks.conf in nginx
  - I will also purge all the hits from this IP in Solr statistics
