University of Oxford

Sustainable Digital Scholarship research data portal (Figshare tenancy)

Oxford's research data portal runs on Figshare under an Oxford-owned hostname. The data, the DOI prefix and the collection are Oxford's; the contract, the API and the engineering are Figshare's. No Figshare specification is stored in this repository — that is exactly the misattribution this cohort was re-profiled to remove — and the relationship is recorded here instead, which is the correct place for it. Note also a false lead worth leaving on the record: oxford.figshare.com appears to resolve, but *.figshare.com is a wildcard and a deliberately nonsensical subdomain returns the identical AWS WAF challenge, so that host is NOT evidence of anything. The tenancy is at portal.sds.ox.ac.uk.
