eCommons Institutional Repository (DSpace REST + OAI-PMH) — tenant is one of 6 APIs that [Cornell University](https://apis.io/providers/cornell/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Institutional Repository, DSpace, OAI-PMH, Research Data, and Library. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

eCommons is Cornell University Library's institutional repository: Cornell's content, Cornell's DOIs, Cornell's host. The interface is not Cornell's engineering. It runs DSpace 8.2 on a 4Science-managed platform, so the REST and OAI-PMH contracts belong to DSpace/4Science and are deliberately NOT saved as Cornell OpenAPIs. The relationship is recorded because a managed repository is a real institutional fact and one of the few programmable surfaces a university has. OAI-PMH Identify and ListMetadataFormats both answer 200 and are the repository's genuine education-regime conformance evidence.
