Charles University

CU Digital Repository OAI-PMH

The Charles University Digital Repository (Digitalni repozitar UK), a DSpace instance running on university-owned infrastructure (dspace.cuni.cz resolves to dspace-in-1.is.cuni.cz), exposes a public OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint for metadata harvesting of digitized collections. The Identify response names the repository and gives adminEmail admin-repozitar@cuni.cz. The DSpace software is a vendor's; the deployment, the host and the metadata are the university's, and OAI-PMH is an open standard rather than a vendor contract, so no vendor spec is saved here.
