TU Dresden

TU Dresden Research Portal (Elsevier Pure) Web Service

TU Dresden's research information system, a current-research-information-system tenancy on Elsevier Pure, published to the world as the TUD Research Portal at fis.tu-dresden.de. The public portal is fully browsable and answers 200. The programmable side is not reachable from the public internet: /ws/api, /ws/rest and /ws/oai?verb=Identify all return an Apache 403 — an edge denial ahead of any application authentication — so neither the Pure web service nor its OAI-PMH interface can be harvested from outside, and no metadata profile, set list or error envelope can be observed. Recorded as a real institutional surface with an honest ceiling: TU Dresden operates a CRIS, and none of it is machine-readable to the public.

API entry from apis.yml

aid: tu-dresden:fis-pure
name: TU Dresden Research Portal (Elsevier Pure) Web Service
x-operator: tenant
x-operator-evidence: 'fis.tu-dresden.de is TU Dresden''s hostname, but the software is Elsevier Pure:
  the portal HTML served at /portal/ carries a PureFacade marker, the section structure (Research output,
  Projects, Units, Datasets, Activities, Journals, Prizes, Courses, Facilities/Equipment, Press/Media)
  is Pure''s, and the Pure web-service path /ws/api answers 403 from Apache while the non-Pure path /portal/ws/api
  answers 404 — the endpoint exists and is blocked, rather than being absent. The publication records,
  the researcher profiles and the institutional data are TU Dresden''s; the contract, the schema and the
  OAI implementation are Elsevier''s, and belong against Elsevier''s own record, not this one.'
