OAI-PMH metadata harvesting interface for ePrints Soton, the University's institutional research repository, built on the EPrints platform (originally developed at Southampton). The repository is read-only for search and harvesting; new deposits now go through Pure. Note: a direct probe of the OAI-PMH endpoint returned HTTP 403 (likely automated-request filtering); the interface is documented and intended for repository harvesters.
