Melbourne Data — Research Data Repository (Figshare tenancy)

TENANT RELATIONSHIP, recorded deliberately and with no contract saved. melbourne.figshare.com is the University of Melbourne's research data repository, registered with DataCite as client UNIMELB.REPO1 ("University of Melbourne data repository", clientType repository, active since 2020-05-14, url https://melbourne.figshare.com/). The data, the DOIs and the curation are the University's; the platform and its API contract belong to Figshare (Digital Science). The generic api.figshare.com/v2 specification is NOT stored under this slug — that spec was attributed to 25 institutions in the June 2026 cohort and is the exact defect this pipeline exists to prevent. Probed 2026-08-19: HTTP 202 with an AWS WAF JavaScript challenge, i.e. bot-challenged and therefore live.
