HIT Research Portal OAI-PMH Endpoint

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint for HIT's research outputs, persons and datasets, on HIT's own hostname and anonymously callable — a ListRecords over publications:all returned 358,884 bytes of oai_dc records with no credential. Serves six metadata prefixes (mods, mods_swepub, oai_dc, xmetadiss, qdc, nl_didl) across 99 sets, and declares the OpenAIRE Guidelines for CRIS Managers CERIF-XML 1.2 profile with a dedicated openaire set. RECORDED AS A TENANCY, NOT AS HIT'S CONTRACT: the Identify response names the repository "Pure OAI Repository" and its administrator purehosted@elsevier.com, so the software and the hosting are Elsevier's. The data and the deployment are HIT's. Note the earliestDatestamp of 2025-10-30 — this Pure instance is less than a year old. Reachability from outside China is intermittent at the connection layer; when it connects it always returns 200 with a full body.
