eScholarship — UC Davis unit (tenant)

UC Davis's open-access scholarly output is deposited into eScholarship, the University of California's shared repository, under the campus unit path /uc/ucd. The content, the deposits and the DOIs are UC Davis's; the platform and the contract are the California Digital Library's, and the OAI-PMH endpoint at escholarship.org/oai serves all ten UC campuses from a single set ('everything') with no UC Davis setSpec. Recorded as a TENANT relationship: this is a real institutional fact and one of the few programmable research surfaces UC Davis has, but no eScholarship or CDL contract is saved under this slug. Note escholarship.org answers automated clients with an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202, zero bytes), so the human landing page could not be status-verified — the OAI-PMH verbs did answer 200.

x-audit-reconciliation: 'audit-university-contracts.py grades the bare host escholarship.org as VENDOR
  because three institutions in the cohort point at it. That is correct about the HOST and does not conflict
  with the tenant label here: the surface recorded is the UC Davis unit path /uc/ucd, an institution-specific
  account on a shared platform, which is the definition of tenant. No CDL or eScholarship contract is
  saved under this slug either way. Do not ''correct'' this back to a saved contract.'
