2018-05-02

  • Advise Fabio Fidanza about integrating CGSpace content in the new CGIAR corporate website
  • I think they can mostly rely on using the cg.contributor.crp field
  • Looking over some IITA records for Sisay
    • Other than trimming and collapsing consecutive whitespace, I made some other corrections
    • I need to check the correct formatting of COTE D'IVOIRE vs COTE DIVOIRE
    • I replaced all DOIs with HTTPS
    • I checked a few DOIs and found at least one that was missing, so I Googled the title of the paper and found the correct DOI
    • Also, I found an FAQ for DOI that says the dx.doi.org syntax is older, so I will replace all the DOIs with doi.org instead
    • I found five records with "ISI Jounal" instead of "ISI Journal"
    • I found one item with IITA subject "."
    • Need to remember to check the facets for things like this in sponsorship:
      • Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit
      • Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit
    • Eight records with language "fn" instead of "fr"
    • One incorrect type (lowercase "proceedings"): Conference proceedings
    • Found some capitalized CRPs in cg.contributor.crp
    • Found some incorrect author affiliations, ie "Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement Agricolc" should be "Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement Agricole"
    • Wow, and for sponsors there are the following:
      • Incorrect: Flemish Agency for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance
      • Incorrect: Flemish Organization for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance
      • Correct: Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance
    • One item had region "WEST" (I corrected it to "WEST AFRICA")

  • It turns out that the IITA records that I was helping Sisay with in March were imported in 2018-04 without a final check by Abenet or I
  • There are lots of errors on language, CRP, and even some encoding errors on abstract fields
  • I export them and include the hidden metadata fields like dc.date.accessioned so I can filter the ones from 2018-04 and correct them in Open Refine:
$ dspace metadata-export -a -f /tmp/iita.csv -i 10568/68616
  • Abenet sent a list of 46 ORCID identifiers for ILRI authors so I need to get their names using my resolve-orcids.py script and merge them into our controlled vocabulary
  • On the messed up IITA records from 2018-04 I see sixty DOIs in incorrect format (cg.identifier.doi)

2018-05-06

  • Fixing the IITA records from Sisay, sixty DOIs have completely invalid format like http:dx.doi.org10.1016j.cropro.2008.07.003
  • I corrected all the DOIs and then checked them for validity with a quick bash loop:
$ for line in $(< /tmp/links.txt); do echo $line; http --print h $line; done
  • Most of the links are good, though one is duplicate and one seems to even be incorrect in the publisher's site so...
  • Also, there are some duplicates:
    • 10568/92241 and 10568/92230 (same DOI)
    • 10568/92151 and 10568/92150 (same ISBN)
    • 10568/92291 and 10568/92286 (same citation, title, authors, year)
  • Messed up abstracts:
    • 10568/92309
  • Fixed some issues in regions, countries, sponsors, ISSN, and cleaned whitespace errors from citation, abstract, author, and titles
  • Fixed all issues with CRPs
  • A few more interesting Unicode characters to look for in text fields like author, abstracts, and citations might be: (0x2019), · (0x00b7), and (0x20ac)
  • A custom text facit in OpenRefine with this GREL expression could be a good for finding invalid characters or encoding errors in authors, abstracts, etc:
or(
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*[(|)].*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\uFFFD.*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u00A0.*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u200A.*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u2019.*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u00b7.*/)),
  isNotNull(value.match(/.*\u20ac.*/))
)
  • I found some more IITA records that Sisay imported on 2018-03-23 that have invalid CRP names, so now I kinda want to check those ones!
  • Combine the ORCID identifiers Abenet sent with our existing list and resolve their names using the resolve-orcids.py script:
$ cat ~/src/git/DSpace/dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml /tmp/ilri-orcids.txt | grep -oE '[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}-[A-Z0-9]{4}' | sort | uniq > /tmp/2018-05-06-combined.txt
$ ./resolve-orcids.py -i /tmp/2018-05-06-combined.txt -o /tmp/2018-05-06-combined-names.txt -d
# sort names, copy to cg-creator-id.xml, add XML formatting, and then format with tidy (preserving accents)
$ tidy -xml -utf8 -iq -m -w 0 dspace/config/controlled-vocabularies/cg-creator-id.xml
  • I made a pull request (#373) for this that I'll merge some time next week (I'm expecting Atmire to get back to us about DSpace 5.8 soon)
  • After testing quickly I just decided to merge it, and I noticed that I don't even need to restart Tomcat for the changes to get loaded

  • I spent a bit of time playing with conciliator and Solr, trying to figure out how to reconcile columns in OpenRefine with data in our existing Solr cores (like CRP subjects)
  • The documentation regarding the Solr stuff is limited, and I cannot figure out what all the fields in conciliator.properties are supposed to be
  • But then I found reconcile-csv, which allows you to reconcile against values in a CSV file!
  • That, combined with splitting our multi-value fields on "||" in OpenRefine is amaaaaazing, because after reconciliation you can just join them again
