name: Curtin University
description: 'Curtin University is a public research university based in Perth, Western Australia, and is ranked #174 in the
  QS World University Rankings 2025. Curtin operates an institutional research repository (espace, built on Ex Libris Primo/Esploro),
  contributes datasets to the national Research Data Australia registry, and maintains several department-level open-source
  GitHub organizations. As of this review Curtin does not publish a centralized public developer portal or a documented general-purpose
  API program; the developer footprint is limited to library/repository discovery platforms and research-data harvesting interfaces
  operated through third-party platforms.'

  name: Curtin espace Institutional Repository
  description: espace is Curtin University's open-access institutional repository of research publications and higher-degree-by-research
    theses, delivered on the Ex Libris Primo/Esploro discovery platform. Historically the repository exposed an OAI-PMH harvesting
    interface for metadata; the legacy endpoint now redirects into the Primo discovery layer and no current public, documented
    API endpoint could be independently confirmed during this review.
