UCL Profiles / IRIS (Symplectic Elements tenancy) is one of 6 APIs that [UCL](https://apis.io/providers/ucl/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Information, Researcher Profiles, CRIS, and symplectic. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

UCL Profiles is UCL's public research-information and researcher-profile directory, successor to the IRIS research portal (iris.ucl.ac.uk now redirects to it). It is a Symplectic Elements Discovery tenancy: profiles.ucl.ac.uk CNAMEs to ucl.discovery.symplectic.org. The publication, grant and researcher records are UCL's; the platform, the data model and any API surface belong to Symplectic (Digital Science). No institution-operated contract is published for it, and no Symplectic contract is saved under UCL.
