Worked on the acl-org/acl-anthology repository to standardize author name representation, focusing on data management and YAML. Developed a structured approach by introducing canonical names, unique IDs, ORCID integration, and name variants within the name_variants.yaml file. This enabled deterministic author identification and improved the consistency of author attribution across the repository. The work laid the foundation for future disambiguation features and enhanced downstream analytics by ensuring reliable author data. No bug fixes were addressed during this period, as the primary emphasis was on stabilizing data governance and documenting changes to support more robust author identity workflows moving forward.
