Open Data @ UCLouvain Dataverse OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint for the UCLouvain research-data repository. Identify returns repositoryName "Open Data @ UCLouvain Dataverse OAI Archive", adminEmail cism-support@uclouvain.be, granularity YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ, earliestDatestamp 2025-11-28. OAI-PMH is an Open Archives Initiative standard rather than a vendor contract, and this endpoint is operated by UCLouvain on a UCLouvain host, so it is attributed to the institution even though the repository software underneath is Dataverse.
