• The CORE developers responded to say they are looking into their bot not respecting our robots.txt

• Today there have been no hits by CORE and no alerts from Linode (coincidence?)

# grep -c "CORE" /var/log/nginx/access.log

• Generate list of authors on CGSpace for Peter to go through and correct:

dspace=# \copy (select distinct text_value, count(*) as count from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id = (select metadata_field_id from metadatafieldregistry where element = 'contributor' and qualifier = 'author') AND resource_type_id = 2 group by text_value order by count desc) to /tmp/authors.csv with csv;
COPY 54701

• Abenet asked if it would be possible to generate a report of items in Listing and Reports that had "International Fund for Agricultural Development" as the only investor
• I opened a ticket with Atmire to ask if this was possible: https://tracker.atmire.com/tickets-cgiar-ilri/view-ticket?id=540
• Work on making the thumbnails in the item view clickable
• Basically, once you read the METS XML for an item it becomes easy to trace the structure to find the bitstream link

//mets:fileSec/mets:fileGrp[@USE='CONTENT']/mets:file/mets:FLocat[@LOCTYPE='URL']/@xlink:href

• METS XML is available for all items with this pattern: /metadata/handle/10568/95947/mets.xml
• I whipped up a quick hack to print a clickable link with this URL on the thumbnail but it needs to check a few corner cases, like when there is a thumbnail but no content bitstream!
• Help proof fifty-three CIAT records for Sisay: https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/handle/10568/95895
• A handful of issues with cg.place using format like "Lima, PE" instead of "Lima, Peru"
• Also, some dates like with completely invalid format like "2010- 06" and "2011-3-28"
• I also collapsed some consecutive whitespace on a handful of fields

• Atmire got back to us to say that they estimate it will take two days of labor to implement the change to Listings and Reports
• I said I'd ask Abenet if she wants that feature
