Hokkaido University

aid: hokkaido
name: Hokkaido University
description: 'Hokkaido University (北海道大学) is a national research university in Sapporo, Japan, founded in 1876 as Sapporo
  Agricultural College and ranked #173 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. It operates 12 undergraduate schools, 21
  graduate schools, and numerous research institutes. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is limited and centered
  on scholarly infrastructure: the HUSCAP institutional repository (Hokkaido University Collection of Scholarly and Academic
  Papers) and public XML sitemaps. The university does not publish a dedicated developer portal or documented public REST
  API; most institutional systems (ELMS LMS, syllabus search, researcher directory) are web UIs without documented programmatic
  access.'

  name: HUSCAP Institutional Repository
  description: HUSCAP (Hokkaido University Collection of Scholarly and Academic Papers) is the university's open-access institutional
    repository of journal articles, conference materials, doctoral dissertations, and research data. It exposes JPCOAR-compliant
    metadata and persistent identifiers (Handle, DOI). The repository migrated to a new platform in December 2025; the legacy
    DSpace OAI-PMH harvesting endpoint at /dspace-oai/request no longer resolves and a replacement OAI-PMH base URL for the
    new system was not publicly confirmed at the time of review.
