UvA Library Linked Open Data (TriplyDB tenancy)

The University of Amsterdam Library publishes its digitised collections — books, letters, maps, images, audio, video, sheet music, archaeological objects and the Beeldbank image repository — as linked open data under PDDL/ODC-BY, reachable over REST, SPARQL and GraphQL. The data, the UB-UVA account and the licensing are the library's. The platform is not: api.lod.uba.uva.nl CNAMEs to uba.cname.triply.cc and the OpenAPI served there is titled "TriplyDB API" with info.contact pointing at triply.cc. A single vendor contract, split by tag, previously appeared in this profile as fourteen separate University of Amsterdam APIs. It is recorded here as one tenant relationship, and the contract is left to score against Triply.
