Worked on the acl-anthology repository to enhance author metadata consistency by implementing data normalization and metadata alignment across sources. Focused on canonicalizing author names, specifically aligning Daniel Swanson to Daniel G. Swanson, to ensure accurate attribution in both PDFs and metadata records. Utilized XML and YAML for updating canonical metadata configurations, supporting ongoing data quality improvements. Demonstrated skills in data management and documentation updates, with careful change management through incremental commits. These efforts improved searchability and reduced manual reconciliation, resulting in more reliable analytics and user-facing features. The work addressed cross-source discrepancies and strengthened overall metadata reliability within the project.
