University of Calgary

PRISM Institutional Repository (DSpace on Scholaris)

PRISM is the University of Calgary's institutional repository — the university's content, the university's DOIs, the university's open-access mandate — but it is no longer run by the university. It is a DSpace 8.4 tenant on Scholaris, the consortial repository service operated by Scholars Portal / OCUL. It exposes the standard DSpace REST API and an OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint, and has ORCID integration configured with a registered client id. The DSpace contract is the platform's and is not saved under this institution.

x-operator-evidence: 'prism.ucalgary.ca is a CNAME to public-proxy.scholaris.ca, which resolves to 142.150.191.62-64
  — ARIN NetName ERINDALE-NET, University of Toronto (Scholars Portal). Every response self-identifies
  as https://ucalgary.scholaris.ca: DSpace REST root returns dspaceServer https://ucalgary.scholaris.ca/server,

  on a consortial platform — tenant, not institution. The 2026-06 profile recorded this host as institution-owned;
  that verdict was reached from the vanity hostname alone and is corrected here.'
