Erasmus University Rotterdam

EUR Research Repository — Pure OAI-PMH (Elsevier tenancy)

The EUR & Erasmus MC research information portal runs on Elsevier Pure (CRIS). Its OAI-PMH endpoint is live (Identify 200, repositoryName "EUR Research Repository", earliestDatestamp 2021-06-14T10:37:49Z) and declares the OpenAIRE Guidelines for CRIS Managers CERIF-XML 1.2 profile in its Identify description. Seven metadata formats are offered, including oai_cerif_openaire; ListSets returns the CERIF entity sets (openaire_cris_publications, _patents, _persons, _orgunits, _events, _equipments, _products) alongside persons:all, publications:all, publications:withFiles and per-year publication sets from 1970. Note that the OpenAIRE Service block in Pure's own Identify response advertises WebsiteURL https://pure.eur.nl/portal, which returns 404 — the live portal is https://pure.eur.nl/, and the vendor's own machine-readable pointer is stale. Corrects the June 2026 profile, which recorded an HTTP 500 on Identify — the endpoint answers normally as of 2026-08-30. The Pure Web Service API also exists at pure.eur.nl/ws/api but is Elsevier's contract, key-gated per integration (pure.eur.nl/ws/api/524/openapi.json returns 401), and its documentation page declares a canonical URL of api.elsevierpure.com — so it is not saved here.

x-operator-evidence: 'pure.eur.nl is a CNAME to erasmus.elsevierpure.com -> eu.prod.elsevierpure.com ->
  eu.prod.elsevierpure.com.cdn.cloudflare.net. That is a platform CNAME, not a CDN in front of an EUR
  origin: the repository software, the hosting and the OAI-PMH implementation are Elsevier Pure''s, and
  the Identify adminEmail is purehosted@elsevier.com. The records, the rightsManifest ("Copyright (c)
  Erasmus University Rotterdam") and the OpenAIRE Owner declaration (DisplayName "Erasmus University Rotterdam",
  OrgUnit acronym EUR) are EUR''s. Real institutional fact, vendor engineering — recorded as a relationship,
  with no Pure contract saved under EUR''s slug.'
