University of Lisbon

Repositorio da Universidade de Lisboa — DSpace REST API

Anonymous HAL+JSON REST API of the institution's DSpace 7.6.1 repository — communities, collections, items, bitstreams, discovery search, metadata schemas and external-source integrations. The deployment is the institution's; the CONTRACT is DSpace's, shared by every DSpace 7 installation in the world, so no OpenAPI is saved into this repository for it. The deployed configuration is itself evidence: orcid, orcidWorks, datacite, crossref, openAIREFunding, pubmed, arxiv, scielo, sherpa and CienciaVitaeCurriculum are all enabled external sources.
