K-RIS — Keio Research Information System (Elsevier Pure)

K-RIS (慶應義塾 研究者情報データベース) is Keio's researcher information system, holding faculty profiles, publications and research outputs. It runs on Elsevier Pure at k-ris.keio.ac.jp. The researchers, the outputs and the host are Keio's; the software and the contract are Elsevier's — this is exactly the class of surface that produced the misattribution the university pipeline exists to prevent, and Pure's generic contract is deliberately not saved under this institution. On this deployment the Pure web service is not exposed at all: /ws/api and /ws/api/openapi.json both return 404, so there is no readable machine interface here even for the vendor's contract.

x-operator-evidence: The page source names Pure and Elsevier as the platform. k-ris.keio.ac.jp is an institution-specific
  hostname on a vendor product; the CRIS software is Elsevier's.
x-operator-note: 'audit-university-contracts.py returns `institution` for this host, and by the hostname
  rule it is right — k-ris.keio.ac.jp is under keio.ac.jp. This is the `shared_contract` case the pipeline
  contract names: the host verdict is correct and the contract is still the vendor''s. `tenant` is kept
  deliberately, and it is the verdict that keeps Elsevier Pure''s generic contract out of this repository.
  Do not "correct" it back to institution on a host-only read.'
