PROFILE
Bryceson Laing
Over four months, contributed to the datacite/lupo repository by building and enhancing backend APIs focused on data discovery and attribution. Developed new endpoints such as the Reference Repositories API with Elasticsearch-backed search and introduced facets for filtering DOIs by authors and funders, improving data accessibility and discoverability. Enhanced the REST API to expose DOI metrics, achieving parity with existing GraphQL features and supporting analytics use cases. Applied Ruby on Rails, RSpec, and SQL to implement robust request specs, ensure backward compatibility, and streamline data models. Addressed data consistency by normalizing license representations and maintained comprehensive test coverage throughout development.

Feb 1, 2025February 2025 (Month: 2025-02) – datacite/lupo Key features delivered: - REST API now exposes DOI metrics (citation counts, view counts, download counts, and open licenses), matching GraphQL coverage and enabling broader data access via REST. Major bugs fixed: - None reported this month. Overall impact and accomplishments: - API parity for DOI metrics improves data accessibility for analytics, BI tooling, and partner integrations. This reduces the need to alternate between GraphQL and REST and accelerates data-driven decision making. Implemented with a targeted change to map GraphQL facets to REST (#1321) via commit 25eded8f6894557ea6baf6d6fd9b315cde9385ec. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - REST API enhancement, GraphQL-to-REST facet bridging, API parity strategy, data accessibility improvements.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 (datacite/lupo) - Feature delivered: author-based filtering for DataCite DOIs. Implemented an authors facet in the DOIs controller to enable filtering and searching DOIs by author information. Configured the DOI model to support the new facet, added a dedicated request spec to validate the functionality, and streamlined data by removing contributorType from creators. These changes enhance discoverability and data quality while reducing unnecessary data fields.
