name: Charles University
description: 'Charles University (Univerzita Karlova), founded in 1348 in Prague, is the largest and oldest university in
  Czechia and is ranked #246 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is limited and primarily
  academic-infrastructure oriented: institutional DSpace repositories expose standards-based OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting endpoints,
  and the Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics (UFAL, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics) operates the LINDAT/CLARIAH-CZ
  platform which publishes documented public REST web services for natural-language processing. Core student-facing systems
  such as the Study Information System (SIS) and single sign-on are gated behind eduID.cz / Shibboleth (SAML) authentication
  and do not publish an open API.'
