• Alliance's TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
  • It seems their password expired, which is annoying
• I continued looking at the CGSpace subjects for the FAO / AGROVOC exercise that I started last week
  • There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a "-" like "high yielding varieties" or used singular...
  • Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example "decison support systems", which would match if it was spelled correctly
• Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace

• I notice there are a few dozen locks from the dspaceWeb pool that are five days old on CGSpace so I killed them

$ psql < locks-age.sql | grep " days " | awk -F"|" '{print $10}' | sort -u | xargs kill

• Sync DSpace Test with CGSpace
• I replaced one item's thumbnail with a WebP version and XMLUI displays it fine
• I spent some time checking the CMYK issue with Arch's ImageMagick 7 and the Docker container and I think ImageMagick 7 just handles CMYK wrong...
  • libvips does it correctly automatically and looks closer to the PDF
• Meeting about CG Core types

• Write a script to find the metadata_field_id values associated with the non-AGROVOC subjects I am working on for Sara
  • This is useful because we want to know who to contact for a definition
  • The script was:

while read -r subject; do
    metadata_field_id=$(psql -h localhost -U postgres -d dspacetest -qtAX <<SQL
        SELECT DISTINCT(metadata_field_id) FROM metadatavalue WHERE LOWER(text_value)='$subject'
SQL
)
    metadata_field_id=$(echo $metadata_field_id | sed 's/[[:space:]]/||/g')

    echo "$subject,$metadata_field_id"
done < <(csvcut -c 1 ~/Downloads/2023-04-26\ CGIAR\ non-AGROVOC\ subjects.csv | sed 1d)

• I also realized that Bernard Bett didn't have any items on CGSpace tagged with his ORCID identifier, so I tagged 230!
