AUB ScholarWorks DSpace REST API

Anonymous HAL/JSON REST API for AUB ScholarWorks, AUB's institutional repository, running DSpace 9.1 on AUB's own host. The service root self-describes as dspaceName "AUB ScholarWorks", dspaceServer https://scholarworks.aub.edu.lb/server, dspaceVersion "DSpace 9.1", and links roughly seventy sub-resources covering communities, collections, items, bundles, bitstreams, discovery/search, browse indexes, submission configuration and workflow. Probed 2026-09-01: 25 communities and 24,318 discoverable items, with /server/api/authn/status returning authenticated false — the read surface is genuinely open. The deployment is AUB's; the contract is DSpace's, shipped identically by every DSpace 9 institution, so no OpenAPI is saved under AUB's name. Errors are returned as application/problem+json.
