Add a few more authors to my CSV with author names and ORCID identifiers and tag 283 items!

<li>I downloaded a fresh copy of CLARISA’s institutions list as well as ROR’s latest dump from 2022-12-01 to check how many are matching:</li>
<li>Out of the box they match 26.4%, but there are many institutions with multiple languages in the text value, as well as countries in parentheses so I think it could be higher</li>
<li>If I replace the slashes and remove the countries at the end there are slightly more matches, around 29%:</li>

<ul>
<li>First day of PRMS technical workshop in Rome</li>
<li>Last night I submitted a CSV import with changes to 1,500 Alliance items (adding regions) and it hadn’t completed after twenty-four hours so I canceled it
<ul>
<li>Not sure if there is some rollback that will happen or what state the database will be in, so I will wait a few hours to see what happens before trying to modify those items again</li>
<li>I started it again a few hours later with a subset of the items and 4GB of RAM instead of 2</li>
<li>It completed successfully…</li>
</ul>
</li>

<h2id="2022-12-07">2022-12-07</h2>
<ul>
<li>I found a bug in my csv-metadata-quality script regarding the regions
<ul>
<li>I was accidentally checking <code>cg.coverage.subregion</code> due to a sloppy regex</li>
<li>This means I’ve added a few thousand UN M.49 regions to the <code>cg.coverage.subregion</code> field in the last few days</li>
<li>I had to extract them from CGSpace and delete them using <code>delete-metadata-values.py</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>My <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8550">DSpace 7.x pull request to tell ImageMagick about the PDF CropBox</a> was merged</li>
<li>After that there were still some poorly formatted ones that my script didn’t fix, so perhaps these are new ones not in our list
<ul>
<li>I dumped them and combined with the existing ones to resolve later:</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>Maria mentioned that she was getting a lot more items in her daily subscription emails
<ul>
<li>I had a hunch it was related to me updating the <code>last_modified</code> timestamp after updating a bunch of countries, regions, etc in items</li>
<li>Then today I noticed this option in <code>dspace.cfg</code>: <code>eperson.subscription.onlynew</code></li>
<li>By default DSpace sends notifications for modified items too! I’ve disabled it now…</li>
<li>I applied 498 fixes and two deletions to affiliations sent by Peter</li>
<li>I applied 206 fixes and eighty-one deletions to donors sent by Peter</li>
<li>I tried to figure out how to authenticate to the DSpace 7 REST API
<ul>
<li>First <ahref="https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/csrf-tokens.md">you need a CSRF token</a>, before you can even try to authenticate</li>
<li>Then you can authenticate, but I can’t get it to work:</li>
<li>I made some minor changes to csv-metadata-quality
<ul>
<li>I switched to using the SPDX license data as a JSON directly from SPDX, instead of via the now-deprecated spdx-license-list package on pypi</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I exported the Initiatives collection to tag missing regions</li>
<li>I submitted an issue to MEL GitHub:
<ul>
<li><ahref="https://github.com/CodeObia/MEL/issues/11084">Set the description of bitstreams in the THUMBNAIL bundle to “IM Thumbnail” when submitting to CGSpace</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Submit a pull request to <ahref="https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/1199">fix the Handle link in the Citizen Lab test URLs for Iran</a>
<ul>
<li>I had originally submitted this in 2018, but it seems someone updated the URL in 2020… hmmm</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I normalized the <code>text_lang</code> values on CGSpace again:</li>
</ul>
<divclass="highlight"><pretabindex="0"style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><codeclass="language-console"data-lang="console"><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span>dspace=# SELECT DISTINCT text_lang, count(text_lang) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) GROUP BY text_lang ORDER BY count DESC;
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span>dspace=# UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_lang='en_US' WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND text_lang IN ('en', '', NULL);
<li>I wrote an initial version of a script to map CGSpace items to Initiative collections based on their <code>cg.contributor.initiative</code> metadata
<ul>
<li>I am still considering if I want to add a mode to <em>un-map</em> items that are mapped to collections, but do not have the corresponding metadata tag</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2id="2022-12-14">2022-12-14</h2>
<ul>
<li>Lots of work on PRMS related metadata issues with CGSpace
<ul>
<li>We noticed that PRMS uses <code>cg.identifier.dataurl</code> for the FAIR score, but not <code>cg.identifier.url</code></li>
<li>We don’t use these consistently for datasets in CGSpace so I decided to move them to the dataurl field, but we will also ask the PRMS team to consider the normal URL field, as there are commonly other external resources related to the knowledge product there</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I updated the <code>move-metadata-values.py</code> script to use the latest best practices from my other scripts and some of the helper functions from <code>util.py</code>
<ul>
<li>Then I exported a list of text values pointing to Dataverse instances from <code>cg.identifier.url</code>:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<li>I still need to add a note to the CGSpace submission form to inform submitters about the correct field for dataset URLs</li>
<li>I finalized work on my new <code>fix-initiative-mappings.py</code> script
<ul>
<li>It has two modes:
<ol>
<li>Check item metadata to see which Initiatives are tagged and then map the item if it is not yet mapped to the corresponding Initiative collection</li>
<li>Check item collections to see which Initiatives are mapped and then unmap the item if the corresponding Initiative metadata is missing</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>The second one is disabled by default until I can get more feedback from Abenet, Michael, and others</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>After I applied a handful of collection mappings I started a harvest on AReS</li>
<li>RStudio is already in the ILRI bot overrides for DSpace so it shouldn’t be causing any extra hits, but I’ll put an HTTP 403 in the nginx config to tell the user to use the REST API</li>

<li>For these fifty-eight locks there are only six queries running
<ul>
<li>Interestingly, they all started at either 04:00 or 05:00 this morning…</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I canceled one using <code>SELECT pg_cancel_backend(1098749);</code> and then two of the other PIDs died, perhaps they were dependent?
<ul>
<li>Then I canceled the next one and the remaining ones died also</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I exported the entire CGSpace and then ran the <code>fix-initiative-mappings.py</code> script, which found 124 items to be mapped
<ul>
<li>Getting only the items that have new mappings from the output file is currently tricky because you have to change the file to unix encoding, capture the diff output from the original, and re-add the column headers, but at least this makes the DSpace batch import have to check WAY fewer items</li>
<li>For the record, I used grep to get only the new lines:</li>
<li>Then I imported to CGSpace, and will start an AReS harvest once its done
<ul>
<li>The import process was quick but it triggered a lot of Solr updates and I see locks rising from dspaceCli again</li>
<li>After five hours the Solr updating from the metadata import wasn’t finished, so I cancelled it, and I see that the items were <em>not</em> mapped…</li>
<li>I split the CSV into multiple files, each with ten items, and the first one imported, but the second went on to do Solr updating stuff forever…</li>
<li>All twelve files worked except the second one, so it must be something with one of those items…</li>
