• After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes
• The cg.identifier.wletheme field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes
• Then we'll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there
• The current "Research Themes" community will be renamed to "WLE Phase I Research Themes"
• Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes
• Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: #328
• Add cg.subject.system to CGSpace metadata registry, for subject from the upcoming CGIAR Library migration

• After adding cg.identifier.wletheme to 1106 WLE items I can see the field on XMLUI but not in REST!
• Strangely it happens on DSpace Test AND on CGSpace!
• I tried to re-index Discovery but it didn't fix it
• Run all system updates on DSpace Test and reboot the server
• After rebooting the server (and therefore restarting Tomcat) the new metadata field is available
• I've sent a message to the dspace-tech mailing list to ask if this is a bug and whether I should file a Jira ticket

• Rename WLE's "Research Themes" sub-community to "WLE Phase I Research Themes" on DSpace Test so Macaroni Bros can continue their testing
• Macaroni Bros tested it and said it's fine, so I renamed it on CGSpace as well
• Working on how to automate the extraction of the CIAT Book chapters, doing some magic in OpenRefine to extract page from–to from cg.identifier.url and dc.format.extent, respectively:
  • cg.identifier.url: value.split("page=", "")[1]
  • dc.format.extent: value.replace("p. ", "").split("-")[1].toNumber() - value.replace("p. ", "").split("-")[0].toNumber()
• Finally, after some filtering to see which small outliers there were (based on dc.format.extent using "p. 1-14" vs "29 p."), create a new column with last page number:
  • cells["dc.page.from"].value.toNumber() + cells["dc.format.pages"].value.toNumber()
• Then create a new, unique file name to be used in the output, based on a SHA1 of the dc.title and with a description:
  • dc.page.to: value.split(" ")[0].replace(",","").toLowercase() + "-" + sha1(value).get(1,9) + ".pdf__description:" + cells["dc.type"].value
• Start processing 769 records after filtering the following (there are another 159 records that have some other format, or for example they have their own PDF which I will process later), using a modified generate-thumbnails.py script to read certain fields and then pass to GhostScript:
  • cg.identifier.url: value.contains("page=")
  • dc.format.extent: or(value.contains("p. "),value.contains(" p."))
  • Command like: $ gs -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -dFirstPage=14 -dLastPage=27 -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=beans.pdf -f 12605-1.pdf
• 17 of the items have issues with incorrect page number ranges, and upon closer inspection they do not appear in the referenced PDF
• I've flagged them and proceeded without them
