- Last week Bizu reported an issue with the “browse by issue date” drop down
- I spent some time trying to reproduce the bug affecting
onebox fields that are configured to use external vocabularies and are not repeatable
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
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

- Experimenting with moving some of my Python scripts to the DSpace 7 REST API
- I spent some time working on the script get abstracts from CGSpace, and found a bug in my logic
- I also noticed that one item had two abstracts, but the first one was blank!
- Looking deeper, I found 113 blank metadata values so I deleted those:
BEGIN;
DELETE FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND text_value='';
COMMIT;
- I also found a few dozen items with “N/A” for their citation, so I deleted those too:
BEGIN;
DELETE FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND text_value='N/A' AND metadata_field_id=146;
COMMIT;
