PAPYRUS DSpace REST API (HAL)

The DSpace 8 REST API behind PAPYRUS, answering anonymously at the HAL root and advertising the repository's entry points as application/hal+json. Reads are open; deposit and restricted items require a repository account issued by the UdeM libraries. Recorded as a tenant relationship — the DSpace API description belongs in DSpace's own catalog entry, not under this institution.
