• 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

• Upgrade CGSpace to Ubuntu 22.04
  • The upgrade was mostly normal, but I had to unhold the openjdk package in order for do-release-upgrade to run:

# apt-mark hold openjdk-8-jdk-headless:amd64 openjdk-8-jre-headless:amd64

• In [2022-11]({{< relref "2022-11.md" >}}) an upstream Java update broke the DSpace 6 Handle server so we will have to pin this again after the upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04
• After the upgrade I made sure CGSpace was working, then proceeded to upgrade PostgreSQL from 12 to 14, like I did on [DSpace Test in 2023-03]({{< relref "2023-03.md" >}})
• Then I had to downgrade OpenJDK to fix the Handle server using the ones I had previously downloaded for Ubuntu 20.04 because they no longer exist on Launchpad:

# dpkg -i openjdk-8-j*8u342-b07*.deb

• Export CGSpace to fix missing Initiative collection mappings
• Start a harvest on AReS
• Work on the DSpace 7 migration a bit more
  • I decided to rebase and drop all the submission form edits because they conflict every time upstream changes!

• Fix some incorrect ORCID identifiers for an Alliance author on CGSpace
• Export our list of ORCID identifiers, resolve them, and update the records in CGSpace:

$ cat dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-identifier.xml 2022-09-22-add-orcids.csv| grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort -u > /tmp/2023-06-06-orcids.txt
$ ./ilri/resolve_orcids.py -i /tmp/2023-06-06-orcids.txt -o /tmp/2023-06-06-orcids-names.txt -d
$ ./ilri/update_orcids.py -i /tmp/2023-06-06-orcids-names.txt -db dspacetest -u dspace -p 'ffff' -m 247

• Start working on updating the MODS schema in CGSpace from 3.1 to 3.8 based on Stefano and Salem's work last year
