McGill University Dataverse on Borealis (tenant)

McGill's research-data collection on Borealis, the Canadian consortial Dataverse repository. The collection, its datasets and its DOIs are McGill's. The Dataverse Native and Search REST APIs that serve it are the Dataverse project's contract, deployed once by Scholars Portal and shared by every Borealis member — which is why no OpenAPI is saved under this institution. This repo previously held five such documents plus twenty-one derived artifacts, all attributed to McGill; they have been removed. Scope a Borealis search to this institution with subtree=mcgill.

aid: mcgill:dataverse-borealis
name: McGill University Dataverse on Borealis (tenant)
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-evidence: borealisdata.ca is a consortial host operated by Scholars Portal / OCUL and resolves
  to 142.1.121.150 (University of Toronto address space). The cohort audit records the same host claimed
  by five other institutions in this catalog, so it cannot be McGill-specific. The McGill collection at
  /dataverse/mcgill is McGill's; the API serving it is Dataverse's.
