UCLouvain

Open Data @ UCLouvain -- Dataverse deployment (Native + Search API)

Open Data @ UCLouvain is the institution's research-data repository, running Dataverse 6.8 on UCLouvain infrastructure at dataverse.uclouvain.be and minting DOIs under UCLouvain's own Crossref prefix 10.14428. The data, the collections and the DOIs are UCLouvain's; the API contract is not. The Dataverse Native and Search APIs are the Dataverse project's product contract, shipped identically by eight institutions in this catalog, so the deployment is recorded here and the generic spec is deliberately not saved under this slug. GET /api/info/version returned 200 with build 6.8/1994-92d1ec8 on 2026-08-30.
