Rice Research Repository (DSpaceDirect tenancy) — OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint for the Rice Research Repository. Identify returns repositoryName "Rice Research Repository", repositoryIdentifier repository.rice.edu, adminEmail cds@rice.edu (Rice's Center for Digital Scholarship) and an earliest datestamp of 2005-07-25; ListMetadataFormats returns thirteen prefixes including oai_dc, etdms, mods, marc, mets, ore, qdc, rioxx and xoai. The harvestable metadata is Rice's. The OAI-PMH implementation serving it is DSpace's, on DSpaceDirect infrastructure, so the protocol conformance is recorded as tenant-operated in conformance/ and is not credited to Rice.
