Romain Cantin contributed to the wellcomecollection/docs repository by designing and implementing features that enhanced content management and API capabilities. Over three months, he expanded the Content API to support exhibitions, introduced hybrid indexing for improved search, and laid the groundwork for knowledge graph enrichment in the Catalogue API. His work involved drafting RFCs, refining data modeling, and updating technical documentation to ensure clarity and traceability. Using TypeScript and Elasticsearch, Romain focused on maintainable system architecture and robust API integration. The depth of his contributions is reflected in thoughtful design decisions and comprehensive documentation, enabling future enhancements and improved data discoverability.

June 2025 monthly summary for wellcomecollection/docs: Focused on laying the groundwork for Knowledge Graph Enrichment of the Catalogue API via RFC 076. Delivered an initial RFC draft, defined the Related Works component logic (subject labels and date-range querying), and completed related documentation updates across the RFC lifecycle. No customer-visible bug fixes this month; emphasis was on design, documentation, and alignment to enable future data enrichment. Business impact: establishes the foundation for richer catalogue data, improved discovery, and traceability through RFC-driven processes. Technologies and skills demonstrated include Knowledge Graph concepts, API data modelling, RFC tooling and processes, and comprehensive cross-repo documentation." ,

February 2025: Delivered Exhibitions content integration and search enhancements in wellcomecollection/docs. Expanded the Content API to include Exhibitions, introduced a hybrid indexing strategy (exhibitions index plus inclusion in the events index), refined data formatting for filtering and display, and updated RFC/docs to reflect new indexing and querying capabilities. Documented indexing decisions and example usage to guide downstream applications and listings. These changes improve discoverability of exhibitions, enable richer listings, and establish a foundation for future enhancements.
