IIT Delhi Institutional Repository OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting interface for the IIT Delhi DSpace 8 institutional repository, on the institute's own host. Verified functional on 2026-08-30, not merely mounted: Identify, ListMetadataFormats, ListSets and ListRecords all return valid responses. Thirteen metadata formats are advertised — oai_dc, qdc, mods, mets, didl, ore, xoai, dim, rdf, marc, etdms, rioxx and uketd_dc — and sets include Electronic Theses and Dissertations plus decade collections from 1961 onward. OAI-PMH is an open protocol rather than a vendor contract, so this surface is IIT Delhi's to claim.
