University of Newcastle Australia

Open Research Newcastle (Figshare) — TENANT

The university's open-access institutional repository and research-data store, running on the Figshare platform at openresearch.newcastle.edu.au. This is a genuine institutional fact and one of the few programmable research surfaces UON has, so the relationship is recorded — but it is recorded as a TENANCY, not as a UON API. The data, the DOIs and the collection policy are UON's; the contract, the API design and the OAI-PMH implementation are Figshare's. No Figshare specification is kept in this repository. Eleven were, until 2026-08-30, and their removal is the substance of this re-profile. Probed: the host answers but every request returns an AWS WAF challenge (HTTP 202, x-amzn-waf-action: challenge, zero-byte body), including /oai?verb=Identify, so no OAI-PMH conformance is claimed.
