ZivaHub Open Data (Figshare for Institutions tenancy)

ZivaHub is UCT's institutional open data repository for research data and scholarly outputs. It is a Figshare for Institutions TENANCY, not a UCT system: zivahub.uct.ac.za CNAMEs to figshare.com, and public ZivaHub content is served by the shared api.figshare.com/v2 endpoint that every Figshare customer calls. The deposits, the DOIs (minted through DataCite client figshare.uct under UCT's DAFI membership) and the CoreTrustSeal certification are UCT's; the API contract is Figshare's. No Figshare OpenAPI is stored under this institution — four such specs were removed from this repo on 2026-08-30 — and the contract is scored against Figshare's own repo where it belongs. This entry records a real institutional relationship, not a UCT API.
