Trinity College Dublin

eDeposit Ireland — OAI-PMH and DSpace REST

Ireland's national legal-deposit digital repository, administered by the Library of Trinity College Dublin (OAI-PMH Identify reports adminEmail edepositadmin@tcd.ie) and registered under Trinity's DataCite provider as TCD.EDEPOSITIRE. It is the only Trinity-administered repository that answered an unattended harvester on 2026-09-01: Identify, ListMetadataFormats (12 prefixes) and ListSets all returned 200, and the DSpace REST root returns application/hal+json self-reporting "DSpace 7.6". Operator is `tenant`, not `institution`, and deliberately so — www.edepositireland.ie CNAMEs to edepositireland.cname.openrepository.com and the API root carries atmire-* links, so the platform is Atmire's Open Repository. The deposit collections, the publishers and the admin contact are Trinity's; the contract is DSpace/Atmire's and is not saved here.
