HAL OAI-PMH — ens-lyon collection

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint scoped to ENS de Lyon's named collection on HAL, the French national open archive operated by CCSD (CNRS). The Identify response names the repository as HAL, the repositoryIdentifier as hal.archives-ouvertes.fr and the adminEmail as contact@archives-ouvertes.fr, with an earliestDatestamp of 2002-09-23 and metadata licensed CC0. The publication metadata inside the scope is ENS de Lyon's; the platform and the contract are HAL's, so the vendor's specification is deliberately not saved under this institution.
