Worked on the DS4SD/docling repository to enhance author metadata handling in JATS XML, focusing on improving attribution and downstream search quality. Developed a feature for robust author name parsing and normalization, enabling accurate identification of structured names and variants within XML documents. The approach involved careful string normalization, edge-case handling, and comprehensive unit testing to ensure data quality and reduce manual remediation in editorial workflows. Leveraged Python for backend development and XML parsing, utilizing git-based workflows for version control and review. This work resulted in higher accuracy of author metadata and streamlined processes for managing contributor information across the system.
