IRIS REST API (CINECA platform tenancy)

Politecnico di Milano's tenancy of CINECA's IRIS research information platform. The data is the university's; the contract is the vendor's, and it is not saved in this repository. Recorded here because the relationship is a real institutional fact — the university's research catalogue runs on IRIS — and deleting the relationship to avoid crediting the vendor's engineering would destroy a true surface. The endpoint is authenticated and has no public registration path.
