Sapienza University of Rome

name: Sapienza University of Rome
description: 'Sapienza University of Rome (Sapienza Università di Roma) is Italy''s largest university and ranked #132 in
  the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public machine-readable footprint is centered on research and library data rather
  than a unified developer portal: the IRIS institutional research catalogue exposes a DSpace OAI-PMH endpoint for harvesting
  research metadata, and the Sapienza Library System (Sistema Bibliotecario Sapienza) publishes open data and linked data
  following the 5-star open data model. There is no single official, documented public REST API gateway; identity is federated
  via the Italian IDEM Shibboleth/SAML federation. A GitHub organization carrying the Sapienza name exists but hosts research
  and coursework projects rather than official platform APIs.'
