Hi Brenna and everyone! Glad to join the community. I’m Elena, currently looking into integrating OpenSanctions dataset exports and testing Yente locally for entity matching in compliance pipelines. Really appreciate the open approach to sanctions and PEP data, and looking forward to following the discussions here.
