CGSpace Notes

2024-03-01

• Last week Bizu reported an issue with the “browse by issue date” drop down
  • I verified it, and suspect it could be due to missing issue dates…
  • It might be this issue: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2808

• I spent some time trying to reproduce the bug affecting onebox fields that are configured to use external vocabularies and are not repeatable
  • I filed an issue: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/2846

2024-03-03

• I did some cleanups on abstracts, licenses, and dates from CrossRef
• I also did some minor cleanups to affiliations because I saw some incorrect and duplicate ones in our list

2024-03-05

• I tried a new technique to get some affiliations from Crossref using OpenRefine
  • First I split them and clustered, resolving a few hundred clusters out of 1500 (!)
  • Then I used a custom text facet with a few dozen CGIAR and other large affiliations to reduce the work
  • Then I joined them with our affiliations, paying no attention to duplicates
  • Then I deduped them using the Jython technique I learned in 2023-02

2024-03-06

• Peter sent me some more corrections for the authors that I had sent him in 2023-12

2024-03-08

• IFPRI sent me their 2023 records from CONTENTdm so I started working on those
  • I found a way to match their ORCID identifiers in our list using Jython in OpenRefine:

import re

with open(r"/tmp/cg-creator-identifier.txt",'r') as f :
    orcid_ids = [orcid_id.strip() for orcid_id in f]

matched = False
for orcid_id in orcid_ids:
    if re.search(r'.+: {}'.format(value), orcid_id):
        matched = True
        break

if matched:
    return orcid_id
else:
    return value

• I realized that UNICEF was renamed to its current name in 1953 so I replaced all other variations in our vocabularies and metadata:

UPDATE metadatavalue SET text_value='United Nations Children''s Fund' WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND text_value IN ('United Nations International Children''s Emergency Fund', 'United Nations International Children''s Emergency Fund', 'UNICEF');

• Note the use of two single quotes to escape the one in the name
