aid: ncku
name: National Cheng Kung University
description: 'National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is a public research university based in Tainan, Taiwan, ranked #215 in
  the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint centers on a CKAN-powered open data platform
  that exposes the standard CKAN Action API, an Ex Libris Primo/Alma library discovery layer, and a DSpace 7 institutional
  repository. NCKU does not operate a single consolidated developer portal; the cataloged interfaces below are platform-standard
  APIs confirmed live rather than bespoke, documented university APIs.'

  name: NCKU Institutional Repository (DSpace 7)
  description: The NCKU institutional repository (NCKUR) is a DSpace 7 platform hosting university scholarly output and theses.
    DSpace 7 ships a REST API and OAI-PMH harvesting interface; the repository homepage advertises RSS feeds. Repository verified
    live, but a working OAI-PMH/REST base URL was not confirmed to resolve at probe time, so no baseURL is asserted here.
