CGSpace Notes

Documenting day-to-day work on the CGSpace repository.

  • I dumped all the CGSpace DOIs and resolved them with my crossref_doi_lookup.py script
    • Then I did some work to add missing abstracts (about 900!), volumes, issues, licenses, publishers, and types, etc

  • Spend some time looking at duplicate DOIs again…
    • I finally finished looking at the duplicate DOIs for journal articles
    • I updated the list of handle redirects and there are 386 of them!

  • Spend some time working on the IFPRI 2020–2021 batch
    • I started by checking for exact duplicates (1.0 similarity) using DOI, type, and issue date

  • I couldn’t figure out how to do a complex join on withdrawn items along with their metadata, so I pull out a few like titles, handles, and provenance separately:
dspace=# \COPY (SELECT i.uuid, m.text_value AS uri FROM item i JOIN metadatavalue m ON i.uuid = m.dspace_object_id WHERE withdrawn AND m.metadata_field_id=25) TO /tmp/withdrawn-handles.csv CSV HEADER;
dspace=# \COPY (SELECT i.uuid, m.text_value AS title FROM item i JOIN metadatavalue m ON i.uuid = m.dspace_object_id WHERE withdrawn AND m.metadata_field_id=64) TO /tmp/withdrawn-titles.csv CSV HEADER;
dspace=# \COPY (SELECT i.uuid, m.text_value AS submitted_by FROM item i JOIN metadatavalue m ON i.uuid = m.dspace_object_id WHERE withdrawn AND m.metadata_field_id=28 AND m.text_value LIKE 'Submitted by%') TO /tmp/withdrawn-submitted-by.csv CSV HEADER;
  • Then joined them:
$ csvjoin -c uuid /tmp/withdrawn-title.csv /tmp/withdrawn-handles.csv /tmp/withdrawn-submitted-by.csv > /tmp/withdrawn.csv
  • This gives me an insight into who submitted at 334 of the duplicates over the past few years…
  • I fixed a few hundred titles with leading/trailing whitespace, newlines, and ligatures like ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl

  • Export a list of IFPRI information products with handle links and CONTENTdm links:
$ csvgrep -c 'dc.description.provenance[en_US]' -m 'CONTENTdm' cgspace.csv \
  | csvcut -c 'id,dc.description.provenance[en_US],dc.identifier.uri[en_US]' \
  | tee /tmp/ifpri-redirects.csv \
  | csvstat --count

  • I discovered the /server/api/pid/find endpoint today, which is much more direct and manageable than the /server/api/discover/search/objects?query= endpoint when trying to get metadata for a Handle (item, collection, or community)
    • The “pid” stands for permanent identifiers apparently, and we can use it like this:
