Research metadata API

The service that describes Genovalia's research datasets to the catalogues that publish them. I redesigned and deployed it.

At Genovalia, datasets are described once and published in several catalogues. The metadata API is the source those catalogues read from: dataset descriptions following the DCAT-AP standard, and their schemas following OCA (Overlays Capture Architecture).

I led its redesign and its deployment on the university's OpenShift platform, with error tracking in Sentry and health checks in Gatus.
