UC Davis Library discovery — Ex Libris Primo (tenant)

Library discovery at search.library.ucdavis.edu is an Ex Libris Primo instance. The subdomain is UC Davis's and the collection is UC Davis's, but the application is Ex Libris's: the served document is a Primo single-page app (id='primoExploreRoot') and the host resolves to 216.147.212.109, outside UC Davis's 128.120/169.237 address space. Recorded as a TENANT relationship. No Primo, Alma or Ex Libris contract is saved under this slug — that contract belongs in the vendor's own repo.

x-audit-reconciliation: 'audit-university-contracts.py grades search.library.ucdavis.edu as INSTITUTION
  because the host sits under ucdavis.edu. The tenant label here is the stricter and more accurate read:
  the host resolves to 216.147.212.109, outside UC Davis address space, and serves an Ex Libris Primo
  application. A UC Davis-branded subdomain pointed at a vendor''s platform is exactly the tenant case.
  Do not upgrade this to institution on the strength of the domain alone.'
