Indian Institute of Science Bangalore

name: Indian Institute of Science Bangalore
description: 'The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore is India''s premier research-intensive university, founded
  in 1909, and ranked #211 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. IISc does not operate a formal, centralized public developer
  portal. Its confirmable public machine-readable footprint is academic: the ePrints@IISc institutional repository (EPrints
  software) exposes an OAI-PMH metadata interface, and the DSpace-based ETD@IISc theses repository is likewise OAI-compliant.
  Individual labs and centres publish open source on GitHub (for example cni-iisc, csl-iisc, val-iisc), but there is no single
  official institutional GitHub org with public repositories or a documented REST API program.'

  name: ePrints@IISc OAI-PMH
  description: ePrints@IISc is the open-access institutional repository of IISc research publications, established in 2002
    on EPrints software. It is OAI-compliant and exposes an OAI-PMH metadata-harvesting interface at the standard EPrints
    /cgi/oai2 path for indexing and metadata reuse. The repository is publicly readable; deposit is restricted to the IISc
    research community. The live site is fronted by an Azure Application Gateway that blocks automated requests, so the OAI
    endpoint could not be programmatically verified during this review.

  description: ETD@IISc is the Electronic Theses and Dissertations repository of IISc, built on DSpace and documented as ETD-MS
    and OAI-PMH compliant, exposing thesis metadata for harvesting. The host returned an HTTP 502 during this review, so the
    live OAI endpoint could not be confirmed.
