PROFILE

Kai Brandhorst

Worked on the MyCoRe-Org/mycore repository over a two-month period, focusing on enhancing metadata quality and export reliability. Developed credit name normalization and shortening features using XML and XSLT, enforcing a 150-character limit and refining contributor role inclusion to improve data integrity and attribution accuracy. Reinstated whitespace normalization to address a previous regression, ensuring consistent credit formatting for downstream reporting. Additionally, improved ORCID export functionality by prioritizing the host item's publication date and introducing a configurable XPath property for precise data extraction. Leveraged configuration management and XSLT to deliver targeted, maintainable solutions that support accurate scholarly metadata workflows.
