National University of Colombia OAI-PMH API

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface of the Repositorio Institucional UNAL, served from the university's own host. Twelve metadata prefixes (oai_dc, qdc, mods, mets, didl, dim, etdms, marc, ore, rdf, uketd_dc, xoai). The software underneath is DSpace 7.6.5, but OAI-PMH is an open protocol and the deployment, host, sets and content are UNAL's; verified live 2026-09-01 with verb=Identify (200).
