CGSpace Notes

2024-06-03

• 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…

2024-06-04

• Some Dataverse entries have the license in ['datasetVersion']['license'] instead…
• I finalized cleaning the 722 IFPRI datasets and uploaded them to CGSpace

• Minor cleanups on IFPRI’s 2016–2019 batch migration file
  • I will start with duplicates on unique identifiers like DOIs

2026-06-18

• Merge and upload metadata for duplicates in IFPRI’s 2016–2019 set:
  • 144 exact match on CGSpace via DOI, type, and date
  • 32 with CGSpace handles
  • I also spent some time converting the ilri/post_bitstreams.py script to use the DSpace 7 REST API via dspace-rest-client
  • There are 28 PDFs specified for these 176 duplicates, and a handful of them do not already exist on CGSpace so I will upload them
