PROFILE

Tobias Hotz (conet Isb/lgl)

Worked on the geonetwork/core-geonetwork repository, delivering both feature enhancements and stability improvements over a two-month period. Focused on backend development using Java, Spring Framework, and XSLT, the work included implementing an HTML-to-plain-text transformation for CKAN Harvester notes to improve data readability and downstream processing. Introduced a new API endpoint to enable reindexing of all harvester metadata, streamlining data refresh workflows and supporting scalable metadata ingestion. Addressed Windows-specific compatibility issues by refining file path handling and test thread-safety, and updated developer documentation to improve onboarding and CI reliability, ensuring consistent cross-platform operation and maintainability for the project.
