École Normale Supérieure de Lyon

aid: ens-lyon
name: École Normale Supérieure de Lyon
description: 'École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (ENS de Lyon) is a French public research and higher-education institution
  in Lyon, ranked #187 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its primary public, machine-readable developer footprint
  is its open-access institutional repository, HAL-ENS-LYON (ens-lyon.hal.science), which is part of the national HAL (Hyper
  Articles en Ligne) open archive. That platform exposes the publication metadata of ENS de Lyon through HAL''s shared, well-documented
  APIs — an OAI-PMH endpoint scoped to the ens-lyon collection plus HAL''s Search, Reference, and SWORD deposit APIs hosted
  at api.archives-ouvertes.fr. ENS de Lyon does not publish its own dedicated, branded developer portal; the institutional
  GitHub organization exists but currently has no public repositories.'
