## 2020-08-02

- I spent a few days working on a Java-based curation task to tag items with ISO 3166-1 Alpha2 country codes based on their `cg.coverage.country` text values
  - It looks up the names in ISO 3166-1 first, and then in our CGSpace countries mapping (which has five or so of Peter's preferred "display" country names)
  - It implements a "force" mode too that will clear existing country codes and re-tag everything
  - It is class based so I can easily add support for other vocabularies, and the technique could even be used for organizations with mappings to ROR and Clarisa...

- The code is currently on my personal GitHub: https://github.com/alanorth/dspace-curation-tasks
  - I still need to figure out how to integrate this with the DSpace build because currently you have to package it and copy the JAR to the `dspace/lib` directory (not to mention the config)
- I forked the [dspace-curation-tasks to ILRI's GitHub](https://github.com/ilri/dspace-curation-tasks) and [submitted the project to Maven Central](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-59650) so I can integrate it more easily with our DSpace build via dependencies

- Atmire responded to the ticket about the ongoing upgrade issues
  - They pushed an RC2 version of the CUA module that fixes the FontAwesome issue so that they now use classes instead of Unicode hex characters so our JS + SVG works!
  - They also said they have never experienced the `type: 5` site statistics issue, so I need to try to purge those and continue with the stats processing
- I purged all unmigrated stats in a few cores and then restarted processing:

```
$ curl -s "http://localhost:8081/solr/statistics/update?softCommit=true" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" --data-binary '<delete><query>id:/.*unmigrated.*/</query></delete>'
$ export JAVA_OPTS='-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx2048m'
$ chrt -b 0 dspace dsrun com.atmire.statistics.util.update.atomic.AtomicStatisticsUpdateCLI -t 12 -c statistics
```

- Andrea from Macaroni Bros emailed me a few days ago to say he's having issues with the CGSpace REST API
  - He said he noticed the issues when they were developing the WordPress plugin to harvest CGSpace for the RTB website: https://www.rtb.cgiar.org/publications/
