2023-07-01 Export CGSpace to check for missing Initiative collection mappings Start harvesting on AReS 2023-07-02 Minor edits to the crossref_doi_lookup.py script while running some checks from 22,000 CGSpace DOIs 2023-07-03 I analyzed the licenses declared by Crossref and found with high confidence that ~400 of ours were incorrect I took the more accurate ones from Crossref and updated the items on CGSpace I took a few hundred ISBNs as well for where we were missing them I also tagged ~4,700 items with missing licenses as “Copyrighted; all rights reserved” based on their Crossref license status being TDM, mostly from Elsevier, Wiley, and Springer Checking a dozen or so manually, I confirmed that if Crossref only has a TDM license then it’s usually copyrighted (could still be open access, but we can’t tell via Crossref) I would be curious to write a script to check the Unpaywall API for open access status… In the past I found that their license status was not very accurate, but the open access status might be more reliable More minor work on the DSpace 7 item views I learned some new Angular template syntax I created a custom component to show Creative Commons licenses on the simple item page I also decided that I don’t like the Impact Area icons as a component because they don’t have any visual meaning 2023-07-04 Focus group meeting with CGSpace partners about DSpace 7 I added a themed file selection component to the CGSpace theme It displays the bistream description instead of the file name, just like we did in DSpace 6 XMLUI I added a custom component to show share icons

- Spend some time testing my
post_bitstreams.py script to update thumbnails for items on CGSpace
- Interestingly I found an item with a JFIF thumbnail and another with a WebP thumbnail…
- Meeting with Valentina, Stefano, and Sara about MODS metadata in CGSpace
- They have experience with improving the MODS interface in MELSpace’s OAI-PMH for use with AGRIS and were curious if we could do the same in CGSpace
- From what I can see we need to upgrade the MODS schema from 3.1 to 3.7 and then just add a bunch of our fields to the crosswalk

- Alliance’s TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
- It seems their password expired, which is annoying
- I continued looking at the CGSpace subjects for the FAO / AGROVOC exercise that I started last week
- There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a “-” like “high yielding varieties” or used singular…
- Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example “decison support systems”, which would match if it was spelled correctly
- Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace

- Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
- I also updated all my local
7_x-dev branches on the latest upstreams
- I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
- I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!
- I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can’t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue
