  title: T2R2 Research Repository OAI-PMH
  version: '2.0'
  summary: OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface for the Science Tokyo / Tokyo Tech Research Repository (T2R2).
  description: >-
    OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting endpoint operated by the Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo
    Institute of Technology) at t2r2.star.titech.ac.jp, on the institution's own registrable
    domain. The repository identifies itself as "T2R2 -Tokyo Tech Research Repository-" and is
    administered by the university library (t2r2@libra.titech.ac.jp). It runs OCLC's OAICat
    framework 1.5.46 — OAICat is open-source software the institution deploys itself, NOT a
    hosted vendor platform, so the operator of this endpoint is the institution.


    This document was DERIVED by API Evangelist from live probes of the endpoint against the
    OAI-PMH 2.0 protocol specification. The institution publishes no OpenAPI of its own. Every
    path, parameter, metadata prefix and error code below was observed in a real response on
    2026-08-30 — see examples/ for the captured payloads.


    SUNSET NOTICE: the operating institution has published a discontinuation schedule for this
    service (https://t2r2.star.titech.ac.jp/index_en.html, dated 2026-07-22). The T2R2 search
    function was withdrawn on 2026-08-20; T2R2 registration and internal use end on 2026-10-01;
    full-text deposits move to the Science Tokyo Repository on JAIRO Cloud
    (https://isct.repo.nii.ac.jp/oai), which is a TENANT surface on the NII/JPCOAR platform, not
    an institution-operated one. Item pages remain reachable "for the time being". Treat this
    contract as describing a service in wind-down. See lifecycle/.

    servers[] host t2r2.star.titech.ac.jp is under titech.ac.jp, a registrable domain of the
    institution; the OAI-PMH Identify response names adminEmail t2r2@libra.titech.ac.jp, also
    an institution domain. No vendor host, vendor contact or vendor product name appears in
    the endpoint's self-description beyond the OAICat toolkit block, which names the software,
    not the operator.

        Single OAI-PMH entry point. The `verb` parameter selects the operation. The endpoint
        returns HTTP 200 for every well-formed HTTP request, including protocol errors — an
        OAI-PMH error is carried in the response body as <error code="..."/>, never as a 4xx.
        No authentication, no signup and no rate-limit headers were observed.
