UBIRA eData is the University of Birmingham's own EPrints research-data repository, running on Birmingham infrastructure (edata.bham.ac.uk resolves to 147.188.217.239, the University's own address space). It exposes an OAI-PMH 2.0 provider — Identify returns repositoryName "UBIRA eData" and adminEmail research-data@contacts.bham.ac.uk, ListMetadataFormats offers oai_dc, didl and rdf — plus the EPrints REST interface at /rest/ and an OpenSearch description document. Deposits are assigned DOIs under the University's own DataCite prefix 10.25500, registered to the DataCite client "University of Birmingham - eData". The repository software is EPrints (open source, not a hosted vendor tenancy) and the endpoint, the host and the records are the institution's.
