ORCA OAI-PMH Interface is one of 21 APIs that [Cardiff University](https://apis.io/providers/cardiff/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, OAI-PMH, and Open Access. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Online Research @ Cardiff (ORCA) is Cardiff University's own EPrints institutional repository, listed as an IT service the University runs. Its OAI-PMH interface has been registered under Cardiff University in the EPrints Registry of Open Access Repositories since 25 October 2005. Institution-operated: the host is on cardiff.ac.uk and the software is self-hosted EPrints, not a vendor tenancy. Machine-readable but not an OpenAPI - OAI-PMH is its contract.
