University of Alberta Research Data Collection on Borealis is one of 6 APIs that [University of Alberta](https://apis.io/providers/university-of-alberta/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Data, Dataverse, OAI-PMH, and Repository. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and authentication docs.

The University of Alberta's research data collection on Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository operated by Scholars Portal / Ontario Council of University Libraries. The collection is scoped by the dataverse alias "ualberta" and is reachable through the shared Dataverse Native and Search APIs and the shared OAI-PMH archive at borealisdata.ca/oai, whose Identify response names the consortium, not the university. Five other institutions in this cohort point at the same host, which is precisely why the generic Dataverse contract is not saved here: the data is the university's, the API is Borealis's.
