CGSpace Notes

• Working on IFPRI datasets
  • I noticed the licenses were missing from Nilam’s original file so I found a way to check Dataverse’s API for a persistent identifier
  • We have both Handles and DOIs for these datasets, both from Harvard’s Dataverse

• I used this GREL in OpenRefine to create a new column based on URLs using the DOI (uppercasing the DOI for Dataverse):

"https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/datasets/export?exporter=dataverse_json&persistentId=doi:" + value.split('https://doi.org/')[-1].toUppercase()

• Then I was able to extract the license text from the JSON response using:

value.parseJson()['datasetVersion']['termsOfUse']

• Similar for the Handle…
