ResearchWorks Repository (DSpace REST + OAI-PMH)

ResearchWorks is UW Libraries' institutional repository, running DSpace 9.2 on UW's own host. The DSpace REST root document is public (HTTP 200) and item retrieval is gated (HTTP 401), but the OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint is fully open and serves ten metadata formats — oai_dc, qdc, mods, mets, didl, ore, xoai, dim, rioxx and uketd_dc — across departmental sets.

x-operator-note: DSpace 9.2 is community-governed open-source software that UW Libraries self-hosts on
  its own registrable domain — not a vendor SaaS tenancy. No generic DSpace product specification is saved
  under this institution; only the deployment and its open OAI-PMH surface are recorded.
