## 2023-03-01
- Remove `cg.subject.wle` and `cg.identifier.wletheme` from CGSpace input form after confirming with IWMI colleagues that they no longer need them (WLE closed in 2021)
- [iso-codes 4.13.0 was released](https://salsa.debian.org/iso-codes-team/iso-codes/-/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#4130-2023-02-28), which incorporates my changes to the common names for Iran, Laos, and Syria
- I finally got through with porting the input form from DSpace 6 to DSpace 7
<!--more-->
- I can't put my finger on it, but the input form has to be formatted very particularly, for example if your rows have more than two fields in them with out a sufficient Bootstrap grid style, or if you use a `twobox`, etc, the entire form step appears blank
## 2023-03-02
- I did some experiments with the new [Pandas 2.0.0rc0 Apache Arrow support](https://datapythonista.me/blog/pandas-20-and-the-arrow-revolution-part-i)
- There is a change to the way nulls are handled and it causes my tests for `pd.isna(field)` to fail
- I think we need consider blanks as null, but I'm not sure
- I made some adjustments to the Discovery sidebar facets on DSpace 6 while I was looking at the DSpace 7 configuration
- I downgraded CIFOR subject, Humidtropics subject, Drylands subject, ICARDA subject, and Language from DiscoverySearchFilterFacet to DiscoverySearchFilter in `discovery.xml` since we are no longer using them in sidebar facets
## 2023-03-03
- Atmire merged one of my old pull requests into COUNTER-Robots:
- [COUNTER_Robots_list.json: Add new bots](https://github.com/atmire/COUNTER-Robots/pull/54)
- I will update the local ILRI overrides in our DSpace spider agents file
## 2023-03-04
- Submit a [pull request on pycountry to use iso-codes 4.13.0](https://github.com/flyingcircusio/pycountry/pull/156)
## 2023-03-05
- Start a harvest on AReS
## 2023-03-06
- Export CGSpace to do Initiative collection mappings
- There were thirty-three that needed updating
- Send Abenet and Sam a list of twenty-one CAS publications that had been marked as "multiple documents" that we uploaded as metadata-only items
- Goshu will download the PDFs for each and upload them to the items on CGSpace manually
- I spent some time trying to get csv-metadata-quality working with the new Arrow backend for Pandas 2.0.0rc0
- It seems there is a problem recognizing empty strings as na with `pd.isna()`
- If I do `pd.isna(field) or field == ""` then it works as expected, but that feels hacky
- I'm going to test again on the next release...
- Note that I had been setting both of these global options:
```
pd.options.mode.dtype_backend = 'pyarrow'
pd.options.mode.nullable_dtypes = True
```
- Then reading the CSV like this:
```
df = pd.read_csv(args.input_file, engine='pyarrow', dtype='string[pyarrow]'
```
## 2023-03-07
- Create a PostgreSQL 14 instance on my local environment to start testing compatibility with DSpace 6 as well as all my scripts:
```console
$ podman pull docker.io/library/postgres:14-alpine
$ podman run --name dspacedb14 -v dspacedb14_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:14-alpine
$ createuser -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres --pwprompt dspacetest
$ createdb -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -O dspacetest --encoding=UNICODE dspacetest
```
- Peter sent me a list of items that had ILRI affiation on Altmetric, but that didn't have Handles
- I ran a duplicate check on them to find if they exist or if we can import them
- There were about ninety matches, but a few dozen of those were pre-prints!
- After excluding those there were about sixty-one items we already have on CGSpace so I will add their DOIs to the existing items
- After joining these with the records from CGSpace and inspecting the DOIs I found that only forty-four were new DOIs
- Surprisingly some of the DOIs on Altmetric were not working, though we also had some that were not working (specifically the Journal of Agricultural Economics seems to have reassigned DOIs)
- For the rest of the ~359 items I extracted their DOIs and looked up the metadata on Crossref using my `crossref-doi-lookup.py` script
- After spending some time cleaning the data in OpenRefine I realized we don't get access status from Crossref
- We can imply it if the item is Creative Commons, but otherwise I might be able to use [Unpaywall's API](https://unpaywall.org/products/api)
- I found some false positives in Unpaywall, so I might only use their data when it says the DOI is not OA...
- During this process I updated my `crossref-doi-lookup.py` script to get more information from Crossref like ISSNs, ISBNs, full journal title, and subjects
- An unscientific comparison of duplicate checking Peter's file with ~500 titles on PostgreSQL 12 and PostgreSQL 14:
- PostgreSQL 12: `0.11s user 0.04s system 0% cpu 19:24.65 total`
- PostgreSQL 14: `0.12s user 0.04s system 0% cpu 18:13.47 total`
## 2023-03-08
- I am wondering how to speed up PostgreSQL trgm searches more
- I see my local PostgreSQL is using vanilla configuration and I should update some configs:
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ SELECT setting, unit FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'shared_buffers';
setting │ unit
─────────┼──────
16384 │ 8kB
(1 row)
```
- I re-created my PostgreSQL 14 container with some extra memory settings:
```console
$ podman run --name dspacedb14 -v dspacedb14_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:14-alpine -c shared_buffers=1024MB -c random_page_cost=1.1
```
- Then I created a GiST [index on the `metadatavalue` table to try to speed up the trgm similarity operations](https://alexklibisz.com/2022/02/18/optimizing-postgres-trigram-search):
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ CREATE INDEX metadatavalue_text_value_trgm_gist_idx ON metadatavalue USING gist(text_value gist_trgm_ops(siglen=64)); # \di+ shows index size is 795MB
```
- That took a few minutes to build... then the duplicate checker ran in 12 minutes: `0.07s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 12:43.08 total`
- On a hunch, I tried with a GIN index:
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ CREATE INDEX metadatavalue_text_value_trgm_gin_idx ON metadatavalue USING gin(text_value gin_trgm_ops); # \di+ shows index size is 274MB
```
- This ran in 19 minutes: `0.08s user 0.01s system 0% cpu 19:49.73 total`
- So clearly the GiST index is better for this task
- I am curious if I increase the signature length in the GiST index from 64 to 256 (which will for sure increase the size taken):
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ CREATE INDEX metadatavalue_text_value_trgm_gist_idx ON metadatavalue USING gist(text_value gist_trgm_ops(siglen=256)); # \di+ shows index size is 716MB, which is less than the previous GiST index...
```
- This one finished in ten minutes: `0.07s user 0.02s system 0% cpu 10:04.04 total`
- I might also want to [increase my `work_mem`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43008382/postgresql-gin-index-slower-than-gist-for-pg-trgm) (default 4MB):
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ SELECT setting, unit FROM pg_settings WHERE name = 'work_mem';
setting │ unit
─────────┼──────
4096 │ kB
(1 row)
```
- After updating my Crossref lookup script and checking the remaining ~359 items I found a eight more duplicates already existing on CGSpace
- Wow, I found a [really cool way to fetch URLs in OpenRefine](https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/fetch-and-parse-data-with-openrefine#example-1-fetching-and-parsing-html)
- I used this to fetch the open access status for each DOI from Unpaywall
- First, create a new column called "url" based on the DOI that builds the request URL. I used a Jython expression:
```python
unpaywall_baseurl = 'https://api.unpaywall.org/v2/'
email = "a.orth+unpaywall@cgiar.org"
doi = value.replace("https://doi.org/", "")
request_url = unpaywall_baseurl + doi + '?email=' + email
return request_url
```
- Then create a new column based on fetching the values in that column. I called it "unpaywall_status"
- Then you get a JSON blob in each and you can extract the Open Access status with a GREL like `value.parseJson()['is_oa']`
- I checked a handful of results manually and found that the limited access status was more trustworthy from Unpaywall than the open access, so I will just tag the limited access ones
- I merged the funders and affiliations from Altmetric into my file, then used the same technique to get Crossref data for open access items directly into OpenRefine and parsed the abstracts
- The syntax was hairy because it's marked up with tags like `<jats:p>`, but this got me most of the way there:
```console
value.replace("jats:p", "jats-p").parseHtml().select("jats-p")[0].innerHtml()
value.replace("<jats:italic>","").replace("</jats:italic>", "")
value.replace("<jats:sub>","").replace("</jats:sub>", "").replace("<jats:sup>","").replace("</jats:sup>", "")
```
- I uploaded the 350 items to DSpace Test so Peter and Abenet can explore them
- I exported a list of authors, affiliations, and funders from the new items to let Peter correct them:
```console
$ csvcut -c dc.contributor.author /tmp/new-items.csv | sed -e 1d -e 's/"//g' -e 's/||/\n/g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | sed -e 's/^ //' > /tmp/new-authors.csv
```
- Meeting with FAO AGRIS team about how to detect duplicates
- They are currently using a sha256 hash on titles, which will work, but will only return exact matches
- I told them to try to normalize the string, drop stop words, etc to increase the possibility that the hash matches
- Meeting with Abenet to discuss CGSpace issues
- She reminded me about needing a metadata field for first author when the affiliation is ILRI
- I said I prefer to write a small script for her that will check the first author and first affiliation... I could do it easily in Python, but would need to put a web frontend on it for her
- Unless we could do that in AReS reports somehow
## 2023-03-09
- Apply a bunch of corrections to authors, affiliations, and donors on the new items on DSpace Test
- Meeting with Peter and Abenet about future OpenRXV developments, DSpace 7, etc
- I submitted an [issue on MEL asking them to add provenance metadata when submitting to CGSpace](https://github.com/CodeObia/MEL/issues/11173)
## 2023-03-10
- CKM is getting ready to launch their new website and they display CGSpace thumbnails at 255x362px
- Our thumbnails are 300px so they get up-scaled and look bad
- I realized that the last time we [increased the size of our thumbnails was in 2013](https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/commit/5de61e220124c1d0441c87cd7d36d18cb2293c03), from 94x130 to 300px
- I offered to CKM that we increase them again to 400 or 600px
- I did some tests to check the thumbnail file sizes for 300px, 400px, 500px, and 600px on [this item](https://hdl.handle.net/10568/126388):
```console
$ ls -lh 10568-126388-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 aorth aorth 31K Mar 10 12:42 10568-126388-300px.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 aorth aorth 52K Mar 10 12:41 10568-126388-400px.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 aorth aorth 76K Mar 10 12:43 10568-126388-500px.jpg
-rw-r--r-- 1 aorth aorth 106K Mar 10 12:44 10568-126388-600px.jpg
```
- Seems like 600px is 3 to 4 times larger file size, so maybe we should shoot for 400px or 500px
- I decided on 500px
- I started re-generating new thumbnails for the ILRI Publications, CGIAR Initiatives, and other collections
- On that note, I also re-worked the XMLUI item display to show larger thumbnails (from a max-width of 128px to 200px)
- And now that I'm looking at thumbnails I am curious what it would take to get DSpace to generate WebP or AVIF thumbnails
- Peter sent me citations and ILRI subjects for the 350 new ILRI publications
- I guess he edited it in Excel because there are a bunch of encoding issues with accents
- I merged Peter's citations and subjects with the other metadata, ran one last duplicate check (and found one item!), then ran the items through csv-metadata-quality and uploaded them to CGSpace
- In the end it was only 348 items for some reason...
## 2023-03-12
- Start a harvest on AReS
## 2023-03-13
- Extract a list of DOIs from the Creative Commons licensed ILRI journal articles that I uploaded last week, skipping any that are "no derivatives" (ND):
```console
$ csvgrep -c 'dc.description.provenance[en]' -m 'Made available in DSpace on 2023-03-10' /tmp/ilri-articles.csv \
| csvgrep -c 'dcterms.license[en_US]' -r 'CC(0|\-BY)'
| csvgrep -c 'dcterms.license[en_US]' -i -r '\-ND\-'
| csvcut -c 'id,cg.identifier.doi[en_US],dcterms.type[en_US]' > 2023-03-13-journal-articles.csv
```
- I want to write a script to download the PDFs and create thumbnails for them, then upload to CGSpace
- I wrote one based on `post_ciat_pdfs.py` but it seems there is an issue uploading anything other than a PDF
- When I upload a JPG or a PNG the file begins with:
```console
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="10.1017-s0031182013001625.pdf.jpg"
```
- ... this means it is invalid...
- I tried in both the `ORIGINAL` and `THUMBNAIL` bundle, and with different filenames
- I tried manually on the command line with `http` and both PDF and PNG work... hmmmm
- Hmm, this seems to have been due to some difference in behavior between the `files` and `data` parameters of `requests.get()`
- I finalized the `post_bitstreams.py` script and uploaded eighty-five PDF thumbnails
- It seems Bizu uploaded covers for a handful so I deleted them and ran them through the script to get proper thumbnails
## 2023-03-14
- Add twelve IFPRI authors to our controlled vocabulary for authors and ORCID identifiers
- I also tagged their existing items on CGSpace
- Export all our ORCIDs and resolve their names to see if any have changed:
```console
$ cat dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-identifier.xml | grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort -u > /tmp/2023-03-14-orcids.txt
$ ./ilri/resolve_orcids.py -i /tmp/2023-03-14-orcids.txt -o /tmp/2023-03-14-orcids-names.txt -d
```
- Then update them in the database:
```console
$ ./ilri/update_orcids.py -i /tmp/2023-03-14-orcids-names.txt -db dspace -u dspace -p 'fuuu' -m 247
```
## 2023-03-15
- Jawoo was asking about possibilities to harvest PDFs from CGSpace for some kind of AI chatbot integration
- I see we have 45,000 PDFs (format ID 2)
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ SELECT COUNT(*) FROM bitstream WHERE NOT deleted AND bitstream_format_id=2;
count
───────
45281
(1 row)
```
- Rework some of my Python scripts to use a common `db_connect` function from util
- I reworked my `post_bitstreams.py` script to be able to overwrite bitstreams if requested
- The use case is to upload thumbnails for all the journal articles where we have these horrible pixelated journal covers
- I replaced JPEG thumbnails for ~896 ILRI publications by exporting a list of DOIs from the 10568/3 collection that were CC-BY, getting their PDFs from Sci-Hub, and then posting them with my new script
## 2023-03-16
- Continue working on the ILRI publication thumbnails
- There were about sixty-four that had existing PNG "journal cover" thumbnails that didn't get replaced because I only overwrote the JPEG ones yesterday
- Now I generated a list of those bitstream UUIDs and deleted them with a shell script via the REST API
- I made a [pull request on DSpace 7 to update the bitstream format registry for PNG, WebP, and AVIF](https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/8722)
- Export CGSpace to perform mappings to Initiatives collections
- I also used this export to find CC-BY items with DOIs that had JPEGs or PNGs in their provenance, meaning that the submitter likely submitted a low-quality "journal cover" for the item
- I found about 330 of them and got most of their PDFs from Sci-Hub and replaced the crappy thumbnails with real ones where Sci-Hub had them (~245)
- In related news, I realized you can get an [API key from Elsevier and download the PDFs from their API](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59202176/python-download-papers-from-sciencedirect-by-doi-with-requests):
```python
import requests
api_key = 'fuuuuuuuuu'
doi = "10.1016/j.foodqual.2021.104362"
request_url = f'https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/doi:{doi}'
headers = {
'X-ELS-APIKEY': api_key,
'Accept': 'application/pdf'
}
with requests.get(request_url, stream=True, headers=headers) as r:
if r.status_code == 200:
with open("article.pdf", "wb") as f:
for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024*1024):
f.write(chunk)
```
- The question is, how do we know if a DOI is Elsevier or not...
- CGIAR Repositories Working Group meeting
- We discussed controlled vocabularies for funders
- I suggested checking our combined lists against Crossref and ROR
- Export a list of donors from `cg.contributor.donor` on CGSpace:
```console
localhost/dspacetest= ☘ \COPY (SELECT DISTINCT(text_value) FROM metadatavalue WHERE dspace_object_id IN (SELECT uuid FROM item) AND metadata_field_id=248) to /tmp/2023-03-16-donors.txt;
COPY 1521
```
- Then resolve them against Crossref's funders API:
```console
$ ./ilri/crossref_funders_lookup.py -e fuuuu@cgiar.org -i /tmp/2023-03-16-donors.txt -o ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-crossref-funders-results.csv -d
$ csvgrep -c matched -m true ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-crossref-funders-results.csv | wc -l
472
$ sed 1d ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-crossref-funders-results.csv | wc -l
1521
```
- That's a 31% hit rate, but I see some simple things like "Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation" instead of "Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation"
## 2023-03-17
- I did the same lookup of CGSpace donors on ROR's 2022-12-01 data dump:
```console
$ ./ilri/ror_lookup.py -i /tmp/2023-03-16-donors.txt -o ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-ror-funders-results.csv -r v1.15-2022-12-01-ror-data.json
$ csvgrep -c matched -m true ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-ror-funders-results.csv | wc -l
407
$ sed 1d ~/Downloads/2023-03-16-cgspace-ror-funders-results.csv | wc -l
1521
```
- That's a 26.7% hit rate
- As for the number of funders in each dataset
- Crossref has about 34,000
- ROR has 15,000 if "FundRef" data is a proxy for that:
```console
$ grep -c -rsI FundRef v1.15-2022-12-01-ror-data.json
15162
```
- On a related note, I remembered that DOI.org has a list of DOI prefixes and publishers: https://doi.crossref.org/getPrefixPublisher
- In Python I can look up publishers by prefix easily, here with a nested list comprehension:
```console
In [10]: [publisher for publisher in publishers if '10.3390' in publisher['prefixes']]
Out[10]:
[{'prefixes': ['10.1989', '10.32545', '10.20944', '10.3390', '10.35995'],
'name': 'MDPI AG',
'memberId': 1968}]
```
- And in OpenRefine, if I create a new column based on the DOI using Jython:
```python
import json
with open("/home/aorth/src/git/DSpace/publisher-doi-prefixes.json", "rb") as f:
publishers = json.load(f)
doi_prefix = value.split("/")[3]
publisher = [publisher for publisher in publishers if doi_prefix in publisher['prefixes']]
return publisher[0]['name']
```
- ... though this is very slow and hung OpenRefine when I tried it
- I added the ability to overwrite multiple bitstream formats at once in `post_bitstreams.py`
```console
$ ./ilri/post_bitstreams.py -i test.csv -u https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest -e fuuu@example.com -p 'fffnjnjn' -d -s 2B40C7C4E34CEFCF5AFAE4B75A8C52E2 --overwrite JPEG --overwrite PNG -n

```
- I learned how to use Python's built-in `logging` module and it simplifies all my debug and info printing
- I re-factored a few scripts to use the new logging
## 2023-03-18
- I applied changes for publishers on 16,000 items in batches of 5,000
- While working on my `post_bitstreams.py` script I realized the Tomcat Crawler Session Manager valve that groups bot user agents into sessions is causing my login to fail the first time, every time
- I've disabled it for now and will check the Munin session graphs after some time to see if it makes a difference
- In any case I have much better spider user agent lists in DSpace now than I did years ago when I started using the Crawler Session Manager valve
## 2023-03-19
- Start a harvest on AReS
## 2023-03-20
- Minor updates to a few of my DSpace Python scripts to fix the logging
- Minor updates to some records for Mazingira reported by Sonja
- Upgrade PostgreSQL on DSpace Test from version 12 to 14, the same way I did from 10 to 12 last year:
- First, I installed the new version of PostgreSQL via the Ansible playbook scripts
- Then I stopped Tomcat and all PostgreSQL clusters and used `pg_upgrade` to upgrade the old version:
```console
# systemctl stop tomcat7
# pg_ctlcluster 12 main stop
# tar -cvzpf var-lib-postgresql-12.tar.gz /var/lib/postgresql/12
# tar -cvzpf etc-postgresql-12.tar.gz /etc/postgresql/12
# pg_ctlcluster 14 main stop
# pg_dropcluster 14 main
# pg_upgradecluster 12 main
# pg_ctlcluster 14 main start
```
- After that I [re-indexed the database indexes using a query](https://adamj.eu/tech/2021/04/13/reindexing-all-tables-after-upgrading-to-postgresql-13/):
```console
$ su - postgres
$ cat /tmp/generate-reindex.sql
SELECT 'REINDEX TABLE CONCURRENTLY ' || quote_ident(relname) || ' /*' || pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(C.oid)) || '*/;'
FROM pg_class C
LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace)
WHERE nspname = 'public'
AND C.relkind = 'r'
AND nspname !~ '^pg_toast'
ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(C.oid) ASC;
$ psql dspace < /tmp/generate-reindex.sql > /tmp/reindex.sql
$ <trim the extra stuff from /tmp/reindex.sql>
$ psql dspace < /tmp/reindex.sql
```
- The index on `metadatavalue` shrunk by 90MB, and others a bit less
- This is nice, but not as drastic as I noticed last year when upgrading to PostgreSQL 12
## 2023-03-21
- Leigh sent me a list of IFPRI authors with ORCID identifiers so I combined them with our list and resolved all their names with `resolve_orcids.py`
- It adds 154 new ORCID identifiers
- I did a follow up to the publisher names from last week using the list from doi.org
- Last week I only updated items with a DOI that had *no* publisher, but now I was curious to see how our existing publisher information compared
- I checked a dozen or so manually and, other than CIFOR/ICRAF and CIAT/Alliance, the metadata was better than our existing data, so I overwrote them
