University of Bath

Research Portal (Elsevier Pure) OAI-PMH — Bath tenancy

OAI-PMH 2.0 harvesting interface served by the University's Elsevier Pure tenancy, advertising the OpenAIRE CERIF 1.2 profile alongside mods, qdc, nl_didl, oai_dc, xmetadiss and uketd_dc. Live but DEFECTIVE as of 2026-08-30: ListMetadataFormats and ListRecords return 200, while the mandatory Identify verb returns an Elsevier HTML 500 page. The June 2026 profile of this repo recorded Identify as confirmed live (Pure 5.33.3-3); it is not live now, which is why this pipeline probes verbs rather than base URLs.
