When checking for uncommon file extensions in the filename field
we should strip descriptions that are meant for SAF Bundler, for
example: Annual_Report_2020.pdf__description:Report. This ends up
as a false positive that spams the output with warnings.
This is meant to catch licenses that are supposed to be SPDX but
aren't, not licenses that *aren't* supposed to be SPDX. We have so
many free-text license descriptions like "Copyrighted" and "Other"
that I'm sick of seeing warnings for them!
Add the country to the message about missing regions. This makes it
easier to see which country is triggering the missing region error,
and helps in case of debugging possible mistakes in the data coming
from the country_converter library.
When a user explicitly requests that a field be excluded with -x we
skip that field in most checks. Up until now that did not include
the item-based checks using a transposed dataframe because we don't
know the metadata field names (labels) until we iterate over them.
Now the excludes are respected for item-based checks.
Initialize the titles and citations before the for loop so we can
access them later. This makes it easier to check if the item actua-
lly has a citation.
This checks if the item title exists in the citation. If it is not
present it could just be missing, or could have minor differences
in the whitespace, accents, etc.
Fix the incorrect type field regex, and improve the title regex to
consider dcterms.title and dc.title (along with the DSpace language
variants like dc.title[en_US]), but ignore dc.title.alternative.

Apparently we were stuck on an older version of requests-cache due
to the fact that we were using the caret, which will never update
the left-most (major) version. Upstream requests-cache is currently
version 0.6.4, and there seems to have been some changes to the API.
This detects whether text has likely been encoded in one encoding
and decoded in another, perhaps multiple times. This often results
in display of "mojibake" characters.
For example, a file encoded in UTF-8 is opened as CP-1252 (Windows
Latin codepage) in Microsoft Excel, and saved again as UTF-8. You
will see strings like this in the resulting file:
- CIAT Publicaçao
- CIAT Publicación
The correct version of these in UTF-8 would be:
- CIAT Publicaçao
- CIAT Publicación
I use a code snippet from Martijn Pieters on StackOverflow to de-
tect whether a string is "weird" as determined by the excellent
"fixes text for you" (ftfy) Python library, then check if a weird
string encodes as CP-1252 or not. If so, I can try to fix it.

By using df[column] = df[column].apply(check...) we were re-writing
the DataFrame every time we returned from a check. We don't actuall
y need to return a value at all, as the point of checks is to print
a warning to the screen. In Python a "return" statement without a v
ariable returns None.
I haven't measured the impact of this, but I assume it will mean we
are faster and use less memory.
Allow overriding the directory for the requests cache. In the case
of csv-metadata-quality-web, which currently runs on Google's App
Engine, we can only write to /tmp.
PEP8 recommends keeping imports at the top of the file. Also, I had
to re-work the issn/isbn so they didn't conflict with the functions
in check.py (flake8 warned about them being redefined).
Imports sorted with isort.
See: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#imports
We should also allow ISO 8601 extended in combined date and time
format. DSpace does not have a problem with dates in this format
and I have found some metadata that uses this date format.
For example: 2020-08-31T11:04:56Z
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
I just came across some metadata that had unnecessary multi-value
separators at the end of a field, causing a blank value to be used.
For example: "Kenya||Tanzania||"
According to PEP8 we should avoid scoped imports unless you have a
good reason. Here there are two cases where we do (issn and isbn),
but I will move the others to the global scope.
ISO 639-1 uses two-letter codes and ISO 639-3 uses three-letter codes.
Technically there ISO 639-2/T and ISO 639-2/B, which also uses three
letter codes, but those are not supported by the pycountry library
so I won't even worry about them.
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes
I recycled this code from a separate agrovoc-lookup.py script that
checks lines in a text file to see if they are valid AGROVOC terms
or not. There I was concerned about skipping comments or something
I think, but we don't need to check that here. We simply check the
term that is in the field and inform the user if it's valid or not.
This makes it easier to understand where the error is in case a CSV
has multiple date fields, for example:
Missing date (dc.date.issued).
Missing date (dc.date.issued[]).
If you have 126 items and you get 126 "Missing date" messages then
it's likely that 100 of the items have dates in one field, and the
others have dates in other field.
Generally we want people to upload documents in accessible formats
like PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This check warns if a file
is using an uncommon extension.
Now it will print just the part of the metadata value that contains
the suspicious character (up to 80 characters, so we don't make the
line break on terminals that use 80 character width by default).
Also, print the name of the field in which the metadata value is so
that it is easier for the user to locate.
AGROVOC validation is now disabled by default, but can be enabled
on a field-by-field basis. For example, countries and regions are
also present in AGROVOC. Fields with these values can be enabled
using the new `--agrovoc-fields` option.
I reworked the script output to show the field name when printing
an invalid term so that the user knows in which field the term is.
The latter is a fork that hasn't been updated since 2016 and the
original still seems to be well maintained, with recent database
updates as well as tests for Python 3.7.
Also, pycountry supports ISO 3166-2 (administrative zones), which
we could eventually use for sub regions.
We actually only need to see if there are more than zero matches
because a term like "Nigeria" will match in English, Spanish, etc,
whereas terms that *really* don't match will have zero results.
Will validate against ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3 depending on how long
the language field is. Otherwise will return that the language is
invalid.
Does not currently have any support for generic values like "Other".
