PHAIDRA OAI-PMH Endpoint

OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface for PHAIDRA, the University of Vienna's own institutional repository platform. Harvested by OpenAIRE, Europeana, BASE, OAPEN, EBSCO and Primo; supports oai_dc (Dublin Core) and oai_openaire. Re-based 2026-08-30: the previously recorded host services.phaidra.univie.ac.at now returns HTTP 200 with a zero-length body on EVERY path including nonsense ones (Caddy catch-all vhost, CNAME to phaidra.univie.ac.at) - a soft-200, not a live API. re3data r3d100010472 registers the current base as https://phaidra.univie.ac.at/api/oai/. That host is live but fronted by an Anubis proof-of-work bot challenge, which grades LIVE, not dead.
