<li>Put Sisay’s <code>item-view.xsl</code> code to show mapped collections on CGSpace (<ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/295">#295</a>)</li>
<li>A user wrote to tell me that the new display of an item’s mappings had a crazy bug for at least one item: <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/78596">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/78596</a></li>
<li>She said she only mapped it once, but it appears to be mapped 184 times</li>
<li>I tried to clean up the duplicate mappings by exporting the item’s metadata to CSV, editing, and re-importing, but DSpace said “no changes were detected”</li>
<li>I’ve asked on the dspace-tech mailing list to see if anyone can help</li>
<li>Maria found another item with duplicate mappings: <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/78658">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/78658</a></li>
<li>I’m actually not sure if we need to encode() the strings to UTF-8 before writing them to the database… I’ve never had this issue before</li>
<li>Now back to cleaning up some journal titles so we can make the controlled vocabulary:</li>
<pre><code>dspace-# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2 and metadata_field_id=55 group by text_value order by cou
nt desc limit 500) to /tmp/journal-titles.csv with csv;
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>The values are a bit dirty and outdated, since the file I had given to Abenet and Peter was from November</li>
<li>I will have to go through these and fix some more before making the controlled vocabulary</li>
<li>Add <code>FOOD SYSTEMS</code> to CIAT subjects, waiting to merge: <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/296">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/296</a></li>
<li>Helping clean up some file names in the 232 CIAT records that Sisay worked on last week</li>
<li>There are about 30 files with <code>%20</code> (space) and Spanish accents in the file name</li>
<li>At first I thought we should fix these, but actually it is <ahref="https://www.w3.org/TR/html4/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.1">prescribed by the W3 working group to convert these to UTF8 and URL encode them</a>!</li>
<li>And the file names don’t really matter either, as long as the SAF Builder tool can read them—after that DSpace renames them with a hash in the assetstore</li>
<li>Seems like the only ones I should replace are the <code>'</code> apostrophe characters, as <code>%27</code>:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>value.replace("'",'%27')
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>Add the item’s Type to the filename column as a hint to SAF Builder so it can set a more useful description field:</li>
<li>Many of the PDFs are 20, 30, 40, 50+ MB, which makes a total of 4GB</li>
<li>These are scanned from paper and likely have no compression, so we should try to test if these compression techniques help without comprimising the quality too much:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ convert -compress Zip -density 150x150 input.pdf output.pdf
