Sungkyunkwan University

SKKU Research Portal (Elsevier Pure) — TENANT

SKKU's research information system and public researcher/output profiles, running on Elsevier Pure at pure.skku.edu. This is a genuine institutional fact and one of the very few programmable research surfaces the university has, so the relationship is recorded — but it is recorded as a TENANCY, not as an SKKU API. The data is SKKU's; the contract, the API design and the Pure Web Service are Elsevier's, and no Pure specification is saved in this repository. The one publicly reachable machine surface here is a conformant OAI-PMH 2.0 provider at /ws/oai serving six metadata prefixes (oai_dc, qdc, mods, mods_swepub, xmetadiss, nl_didl) with the OpenAIRE CERIF 1.2 profile declared in the response envelope; the Pure Web Service at /ws/api returns 401 and its documentation canonicalises to api.elsevierpure.com, so no programmable Pure interface is open even to the tenant.
