UKM Learning and Research Repository (OAI-PMH)

DSpace 6.3 institutional repository operated by Perpustakaan Tun Seri Lanang (UKM Library) on the university's own host, holding theses, past-year examination papers and selected government and law publications. Its OAI-PMH 2.0 interface is live and unauthenticated: repositoryName "UKM Learning and Research Repository", adminEmail tek_lib@ukm.edu.my, earliestDatestamp 2022-10-03, deletedRecord policy transient, granularity to the second, and twelve metadata formats (uketd_dc, qdc, didl, mods, ore, mets, oai_dc, rdf, marc, xoai, dim, etdms). Two defects a harvester will hit: the OAI repositoryIdentifier is the internal name http://ptsldigitalv2.ukm.my, which does not resolve publicly, and the DSpace REST API is not reachable — /rest redirects to port 8443, which does not answer. robots.txt exists but its two Sitemap directives point at that same non-resolving internal host.

  summary: OAI-PMH metadata harvesting interface for UKM's DSpace 6.3 institutional repository.
  description: >-
    Institution-operated OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface for the UKM Learning and Research
    Repository, a DSpace 6.3 instance self-hosted by Perpustakaan Tun Seri Lanang (UKM Library)
    on Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's own domain, ptsldigital.ukm.my. Repository name "UKM
    Learning and Research Repository", adminEmail tek_lib@ukm.edu.my, repositoryIdentifier
    http://ptsldigitalv2.ukm.my, earliestDatestamp 2022-10-03T08:48:53Z, deletedRecord policy
    "transient", granularity to the second. Twelve metadata formats are offered: uketd_dc, qdc,
    didl, mods, ore, mets, oai_dc, rdf, marc, xoai, dim, etdms. No authentication.

    This description was written by API Evangelist from live probes of the endpoint on 2026-09-01;
    UKM publishes no OpenAPI of its own. The software is DSpace; the deployment, the host, the
    content and the operation are the institution's. The DSpace REST API on this instance is NOT
    publicly reachable — /rest redirects to port 8443, which does not answer.
