## 2018-03-02

- Export a CSV of the IITA community metadata for Martin Mueller

<!--more-->

## 2018-03-06

- Add three new CCAFS project tags to `input-forms.xml` ([#357](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/357))
- Andrea from Macaroni Bros had sent me an email that CCAFS needs them
- Give Udana more feedback on his WLE records from last month
- There were some records using a non-breaking space in their AGROVOC subject field
- I checked and tested some author corrections from Peter from last week, and then applied them on CGSpace

```
$ ./fix-metadata-values.py -i Correct-309-authors-2018-03-06.csv -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -f dc.contributor.author -t correct -m 3      
$ ./delete-metadata-values.py -i Delete-3-Authors-2018-03-06.csv -db dspace -u dspace-p 'fuuu' -f dc.contributor.author -m 3
```

- This time there were no errors in whitespace but I did have to correct one incorrectly encoded accent character
- Add new CRP subject "GRAIN LEGUMES AND DRYLAND CEREALS" to `input-forms.xml` ([#358](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/358))
- Merge the ORCID integration stuff in to `5_x-prod` for deployment on CGSpace soon ([#359](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/359))
- Deploy ORCID changes on CGSpace (linode18), run all system updates, and reboot the server
- Run all system updates on DSpace Test and reboot server
- I ran the [orcid-authority-to-item.py](https://gist.github.com/alanorth/24d8081a5dc25e2a4e27e548e7e2389c) script on CGSpace and mapped 2,864 ORCID identifiers from Solr to item metadata

```
$ ./orcid-authority-to-item.py -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -s http://localhost:8081/solr -d
```

- I ran the DSpace cleanup script on CGSpace and it threw an error (as always):

```
Error: ERROR: update or delete on table "bitstream" violates foreign key constraint "bundle_primary_bitstream_id_fkey" on table "bundle"
  Detail: Key (bitstream_id)=(150659) is still referenced from table "bundle".
```

- The solution is, as always:
```
$ psql dspace -c 'update bundle set primary_bitstream_id=NULL where primary_bitstream_id in (150659);'
UPDATE 1
```

- Apply the proposed PostgreSQL indexes from DS-3636 (pull request [#1791](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/1791/) on CGSpace (linode18)

## 2018-03-07

- Add CIAT author Mauricio Efren Sotelo Cabrera to controlled vocabulary for ORCID identifiers ([#360](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/360))
- Help Sisay proof 200 IITA records on DSpace Test
- Finally import Udana's 24 items to [IWMI Journal Articles](https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/36185) on CGSpace
- Skype with James Stapleton to discuss CGSpace, ILRI website, CKM staff issues, etc

## 2018-03-08

- Looking at a CSV dump of the CIAT community I see there are tons of stupid text languages people add for their metadata
- This makes the CSV have tons of columns, for example `dc.title`, `dc.title[]`, `dc.title[en]`, `dc.title[eng]`, `dc.title[en_US]` and so on!
- I think I can fix — or at least normalize — them in the database:

```
dspace=# select distinct text_lang from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2;
 text_lang 
-----------
 
 ethnob
 en
 spa
 EN
 En
 en_
 en_US
 E.
 
 EN_US
 en_U
 eng
 fr
 es_ES
 es
(16 rows)

dspace=# update metadatavalue set text_lang='en_US' where resource_type_id=2 and text_lang in ('en','EN','En','en_','EN_US','en_U','eng');
UPDATE 122227
dspacetest=# select distinct text_lang from metadatavalue where resource_type_id=2;
 text_lang
-----------

 ethnob
 en_US
 spa
 E.

 fr
 es_ES
 es
(9 rows)
```

- In other news, I was playing with adding ORCID identifiers to a dump of CIAT's community via CSV in OpenRefine
- Using a series of filters, flags, and GREL expressions to isolate items for a certain author, I figured out how to add ORCID identifiers to the `cg.creator.id` field
- For example, a GREL expression in a custom text facet to get all items with `dc.contributor.author[en_US]` of a certain author with several name variations (this is how you use a logical OR in OpenRefine):

```
or(value.contains('Ceballos, Hern'), value.contains('Hernández Ceballos'))
```

- Then you can flag or star matching items and then use a conditional to either set the value directly or add it to an existing value:

```
if(isBlank(value), "Hernan Ceballos: 0000-0002-8744-7918", value + "||Hernan Ceballos: 0000-0002-8744-7918")
```

- One thing that bothers me is that this won't honor author order
- It might be better to do batches of these in PostgreSQL with a script that takes the `place` column of an author into account when setting the `cg.creator.id`
