Aarhus University OAI-PMH Metadata Service

Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting 2.0 service for Aarhus University's research record. Verified live on 2026-08-30: the Identify verb returns repositoryName "Aarhus University", adminEmail pure@au.dk and an earliest datestamp of 2005-06-02. Five metadata prefixes are offered — oai_dc, mods, fi-person, ddf-mxd and xmetadiss — the last two being the Danish national research database (Forskningsdatabasen) profiles, and the document declares the OpenAIRE CERIF 1.2 profile namespace. Records are partitioned into persons:all, publications:all, publications:withFiles and a per-year series from 1961 forward, and ListRecords returns real Dublin Core with Aarhus authors' ORCID iDs inline. The repository software beneath is Elsevier Pure, but the harvesting endpoint is served from the university's own registrable domain, administered from an au.dk address, and names Aarhus University as the repository — operating it is an institutional act, so this surface is credited to Aarhus.
