<li>I added countries to the twenty-three IFPRI items in OpenRefine based on their titles and abstracts (using the Jython trick I learned a few months ago), then added regions using csv-metadata-quality, and uploaded them to CGSpace</li>
<li>I exported a list of collections from CGSpace so I can run the thumbnail fixes on each, as we seem to have issues when doing it on (some) large communities like the CRP community:</li>

<li>Also, I ran an <code>index-discovery</code> without the <code>-b</code> since now my metadata update scripts update the <code>last_modified</code> timestamp as well and it finished in fifteen minutes, and I see the changes in the Discovery search and facets</li>

<li>Meeting with Marie-Angelique, Abenet, Sara, Valentina, and Margarita about <code>dcterms.type</code> for CG Core
<ul>
<li>We discussed some of the feedback from Peter</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Peter and Abenet and I agreed to update some of our metadata in response to the PRMS feedback
<ul>
<li>I updated Pacific to Oceania, and Central Africa to Middle Africa, and removed the old ones from the submission form</li>
<li>These are UN M.49 regions</li>
</ul>

<li>I ran csv-metadata-quality on an export of the ILRI community on CGSpace, but only with title, country, and region fields
<ul>
<li>It fixed some whitespace issues and added missing regions to about 1,200 items</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I thought of a way to delete duplicate metadata values, since the CSV upload method can’t detect them correctly
<ul>
<li>First, I wrote a <ahref="https://chartio.com/learn/databases/how-to-find-duplicate-values-in-a-sql-table/">SQL query</a> to identify metadata falues with the same <code>text_value</code>, <code>metadata_field_id</code>, and <code>dspace_object_id</code>:</li>
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> SELECT dspace_object_id, text_value, metadata_field_id, COUNT(*) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND metadata_field_id NOT IN (11, 12, 28, 136, 159) GROUP BY dspace_object_id, text_value, metadata_field_id HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> ) b
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> ON a.dspace_object_id = b.dspace_object_id
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> AND a.text_value = b.text_value
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> AND a.metadata_field_id = b.metadata_field_id
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> ORDER BY a.text_value) TO /tmp/duplicates.txt
</span></span></code></pre></div><ul>
<li>(This query excludes metadata for accession and available dates, provenance, format, etc)</li>
<li>Then, I sorted the file by fields four and one (<code>dspace_object_id</code> and <code>text_value</code>) so that the duplicate metadata for each item were next to each other, used awk to print the second field (<code>metadata_field_id</code>) from every <em>other</em> line, and created a SQL script to delete the metadata</li>
</span></span><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span> sed 's/^\(.*\)$/DELETE FROM metadatavalue WHERE metadata_value_id=\1;/'> /tmp/delete-duplicates.sql
</span></span></code></pre></div><ul>
<li>This worked very well, but there were some metadata values that were tripled or quadrupled, so it only deleted the first duplicate
<ul>
<li>I just ran it again two more times to find the last duplicates, now we have none!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I also generated another SQL file with commands to update the last modified timestamps of these items:</li>
</ul>
<divclass="highlight"><pretabindex="0"style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><codeclass="language-console"data-lang="console"><spanstyle="display:flex;"><span>$ awk -F<spanstyle="color:#e6db74">'\t'</span><spanstyle="color:#e6db74">'{print $4}'</span> /tmp/duplicates.txt | sort -u | sed <spanstyle="color:#e6db74">"s/^\(.*\)</span>$<spanstyle="color:#e6db74">/UPDATE item SET last_modified=NOW() WHERE uuid='\1';/"</span>> /tmp/update-timestamp.sql
</span></span></code></pre></div><ul>
<li>Tezira said she was having trouble archiving submissions
<ul>
<li>In the afternoon I looked and found a high number of locks:</li>

<li>The timing looks suspiciously close to when I was running the batch updates on the ILRI community this morning.
<ul>
<li>I restarted Tomcat and PostgreSQL and everything was back to normal</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I found some items on CGSpace in Dinka, Ndogo, and Bari languages, but the <code>dcterms.language</code> field was “other”
<ul>
<li>That’s so unfortunate! These languages are not in ISO 639-1, but they are in ISO 639-3, which uses Alpha 3 and has more space for languages</li>
<li>I changed them from other to use the three-letter codes, and I will suggest to the CG Core group that we use ISO 639-3 in the future</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Send feedback to Salem about some metadata issues with MEL submissions to CGSpace</li>
