UCD Digital Library collection data exports

Static, keyless Dublin Core metadata exports for UCD Library's digital cultural-heritage collections — metadata as CSV and JSON, plus facets, subjects and a TimelineJS export, all linked from a published Data page. Files rather than an API, and small: the metadata export was 2.2KB on 2026-08-30. This is what remains after a platform decommissioning. The IIIF Image API 2.0, IIIF Presentation API 2.0, Geospatial Data API and unAPI endpoint catalogued here in June 2026 NO LONGER EXIST — digital.ucd.ie /help/, /api, /iiif and /view/ all return 404, and the site now states it is a "temporary access website" pending procurement of a new digital library access and preservation platform in 2026, built in the meantime on CollectionBuilder-CSV. Those two entries have been replaced by this one.
