  description: Fudan University Dataverse is a research data repository built on the Dataverse open-source platform, hosting
    survey, census, and social-science datasets contributed by Fudan researchers. The Dataverse software exposes a native
    REST/Search API and OAI-PMH metadata harvesting by design; however, from outside mainland China the host (dvn.fudan.edu.cn)
    returns an access-forbidden ("禁止访问") page, so the API surface is geo-restricted and not publicly documented. Endpoint
    paths below reflect standard Dataverse conventions, not Fudan-published documentation, and could not be verified live.
