  name: Institutional Repository (DSpace / OAI-PMH)
  description: The Repositorio Institucional Universidad Nacional de Colombia is a DSpace repository of theses, dissertations,
    articles, books, and research data. It is registered with re3data and OpenDOAR as exposing an OAI-PMH metadata interface
    for harvesting. The repository web application resolves publicly; the OAI-PMH request endpoint path could not be confirmed
    live during review and should be re-verified against the current DSpace version before use.
