King's College London

King's College London Research Data Repository (Figshare tenancy)

King's research data repository, operated for King's by Figshare. The data, the DOIs, the DataCite membership and the curation decisions are King's; the REST API, the OAI-PMH endpoint and every line of the contract that describes them are Figshare's, and they score against Figshare's own repo, not this one. Recorded as a relationship rather than as a set of contracts — the deliberate output of the operator check, and the reason this profile's Kin Score falls relative to its June 2026 value.

API entry from apis.yml

name: King's College London Research Data Repository (Figshare tenancy)
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-evidence: 'kcl.figshare.com is a CNAME straight to figshare.com. This is the relationship the
  June 2026 profile mistook for a King''s API: ten OpenAPI contracts and eleven apis[] entries were saved
  here for api.figshare.com/v2, the generic Figshare host that twenty-five universities in this catalog
  claimed simultaneously, and all eleven were removed on 2026-08-19. The tenancy itself is recorded because
  it is real and it is King''s: DataCite provider HCBR, repository BL.KCL, prefix 10.18742, 1,118 DOIs
  published with publisher "King''s College London" and landing pages on kcl.figshare.com.'
