December 2025 monthly summary for inveniosoftware/invenio-rdm-records focusing on business value and technical achievements. This period centered on aligning the Data Package schema with the Data Resource specification by correcting the file-type attribute to mediatype across the data packaging workflow, ensuring interoperability with external tooling and standards. A key change involved updating the serializer layer to emit mediatype (not mimetype) for Data Package resources, aligning with the official specification and downstream consumption. Impact includes improved data integrity, reduced parsing errors in ingest and export pipelines, and smoother integration with external data catalogs and data science tooling. The commit was consolidated under d554b9721ef1593eeef17e9ab269f77db4cb55b4 and represents a clear improvement in schema consistency and standard compliance.
