IRIS Research Catalogue OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting provider for IRIS, Sapienza's institutional research information system and repository, served from the university's own host iris.uniroma1.it. Verified live 2026-09-01 — verb=Identify returns 200 text/xml with repositoryName "IRIS - UNIROMA1 - prod", baseURL https://iris.uniroma1.it/oai/request, protocolVersion 2.0, adminEmail gruppo-pubblicazioni@uniroma1.it, earliestDatestamp 2015-05-04T13:12:45Z, deletedRecord transient and granularity YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ. verb=ListMetadataFormats returns three prefixes — oai_dc, didl (MPEG-21 DIDL) and ore (OAI-ORE/Atom). verb=ListSets enumerates the Italian research-product typology as community sets (com_11573_784454 "01 Pubblicazione su rivista", com_11573_784455 "02 Pubblicazione su volume", com_11573_784456 "03 Monografia", com_11573_784457 "04 Pubblicazione in atti di convegno" and more). verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc returns real records (oai:iris.uniroma1.it:11573/1753388). The platform is DSpace-CRIS supplied to the Italian university system by CINECA, so the software contract is the vendor's and no spec is saved under this institution — the host, the deployment and the research metadata are Sapienza's. The DSpace REST API on the same host is NOT open: https://iris.uniroma1.it/rest/ returns "HTTP Status 401 - Invalid basic authentication token".
