Jennings worked on schema evolution and data quality improvements in the OvertureMaps/schema repository, focusing on robust data modeling and validation. Over four months, Jennings enhanced schema definitions using YAML, introducing properties such as non-negative bathymetry depths and a prominence field for cartographic features to standardize and enrich map data. They expanded infrastructure theme taxonomies and improved water data validation by enforcing type consistency, reducing downstream ETL errors. Jennings also updated the BuildingPart schema to support multilingual naming conventions, aligning with evolving data standards. Their work demonstrated depth in schema definition, data validation, and collaborative updates to support analytics and visualization pipelines.
