- Work on preparation of new server for DSpace 7 migration
- I’m not quite sure what we need to do for the Handle server
- For now I just ran the
dspace make-handle-config script and diffed it with the one from DSpace 6
- I sent the bundle to the Handle admins to make sure it’s OK before we do the migration
- Continue testing and debugging the cgspace-java-helpers on DSpace 7

2023-12-01 There is still high load on CGSpace and I don’t know why I don’t see a high number of sessions compared to previous days in the last few weeks $ for file in dspace.log.2023-11-[23]*; do echo "$file"; grep -a -oE 'session_id=[A-Z0-9]{32}' "$file" | sort | uniq | wc -l; done dspace.log.2023-11-20 22865 dspace.log.2023-11-21 20296 dspace.log.2023-11-22 19688 dspace.log.2023-11-23 17906 dspace.log.2023-11-24 18453 dspace.log.2023-11-25 17513 dspace.log.2023-11-26 19037 dspace.log.2023-11-27 21103 dspace.log.2023-11-28 23023 dspace.log.2023-11-29 23545 dspace.

- Export CGSpace to check DOIs against Crossref
- I found that Crossref’s metadata is in the public domain under the CC0 license
- One interesting thing is the abstracts, which are copyrighted by the copyright owner, meaning Crossref cannot waive the copyright under the terms of the CC0 license, because it is not theirs to waive
- We can be on the safe side by using only abstracts for items that are licensed under Creative Commons

2023-07-01 Export CGSpace to check for missing Initiative collection mappings Start harvesting on AReS 2023-07-02 Minor edits to the crossref_doi_lookup.py script while running some checks from 22,000 CGSpace DOIs 2023-07-03 I analyzed the licenses declared by Crossref and found with high confidence that ~400 of ours were incorrect I took the more accurate ones from Crossref and updated the items on CGSpace I took a few hundred ISBNs as well for where we were missing them I also tagged ~4,700 items with missing licenses as “Copyrighted; all rights reserved” based on their Crossref license status being TDM, mostly from Elsevier, Wiley, and Springer Checking a dozen or so manually, I confirmed that if Crossref only has a TDM license then it’s usually copyrighted (could still be open access, but we can’t tell via Crossref) I would be curious to write a script to check the Unpaywall API for open access status… In the past I found that their license status was not very accurate, but the open access status might be more reliable More minor work on the DSpace 7 item views I learned some new Angular template syntax I created a custom component to show Creative Commons licenses on the simple item page I also decided that I don’t like the Impact Area icons as a component because they don’t have any visual meaning 2023-07-04 Focus group meeting with CGSpace partners about DSpace 7 I added a themed file selection component to the CGSpace theme It displays the bistream description instead of the file name, just like we did in DSpace 6 XMLUI I added a custom component to show share icons 2023-07-05 I spent some time trying to update OpenRXV from Angular 9 to 10 to 11 to 12 to 13 Most things work but there are some minor bugs it seems Mishell from CIP emailed me to say she was having problems approving an item on CGSpace Looking at PostgreSQL I saw there were a dozen or so locks that were several hours and even over one day old so I killed those processes and told her to try again 2023-07-06 Types meeting I wrote a Python script to check Unpaywall for some information about DOIs 2023-07-7 Continue exploring Unpaywall data for some of our DOIs In the past I’ve found their licensing information to not be very reliable (preferring Crossref), but I think their open access status is more reliable, especially when the provider is listed as being the publisher Even so, sometimes the version can be “acceptedVersion”, which is presumably the author’s version, as opposed to the “publishedVersion”, which means it’s available as open access on the publisher’s website I did some quality assurance and found ~100 that were marked as Limited Access, but should have been Open Access, and fixed a handful of licenses Delete duplicate metadata as described in my DSpace issue from last year: https://github.
