Tohoku University

TOUR Institutional Repository OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoint for TOUR (TOhoku University Repository). The collection, the departmental set hierarchy and the administrative contact (syskan@grp.tohoku.ac.jp) are Tohoku University's; the endpoint itself is NII JAIRO Cloud (WEKO3) running on nii.ac.jp, so this is recorded as a tenant relationship and NII's contract is deliberately NOT saved under this institution. Verified live 2026-09-01 — Identify returns repositoryName "Tohoku University Repository（TOUR）", protocolVersion 2.0, earliestDatestamp 2016-06-09; ListMetadataFormats returns oai_dc, jpcoar_1.0, jpcoar_2.0, ddi and lom.
