description: 'The Technical University of Darmstadt (Technische Universitat Darmstadt, TU Darmstadt) is a public research
  university in Darmstadt, Germany, ranked #241 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer
  footprint is centered on the university and state library (ULB) scholarly infrastructure rather than a central developer
  portal. TUdatalib, the institutional research-data repository, runs DSpace 8.1 and exposes a live REST API and an OAI-PMH
  2.0 metadata interface; the TUbiblio publication bibliography and the tuprints open-access repository run on EPrints with
  OAI-PMH harvesting. Authentication across university services is handled through a central SSO system operated by the Hochschulrechenzentrum
  (HRZ).'

  name: TUbiblio OAI-PMH (EPrints)
  description: TUbiblio is the publication bibliography of TU Darmstadt, built on EPrints and registered with an OAI-PMH 2.0
    interface for metadata harvesting. The OAI base path is /cgi/oai2. The public site loads in browsers but applies bot/TLS
    filtering, so the OAI endpoint was not directly curl-verifiable during review.

  description: tuprints is the open-access publication repository of TU Darmstadt, built on EPrints with an OAI-PMH 2.0 interface
    (base path /cgi/oai2). The repository site returns HTTP 200; the OAI endpoint returned HTTP 403 to a plain client during
    review and likely requires a standard harvester client.
