description: 'Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) is a private Mexican multi-campus university system headquartered in Monterrey,
  Nuevo León, ranked #185 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its programmable footprint is real but narrow, and it
  is entirely infrastructure the institution runs rather than software it wrote. Two research surfaces are live and public:
  a Dataverse 5.9 research data repository at datahub.tec.mx and a DSpace 8 institutional repository (RITEC) at repositorio.tec.mx
  holding 86,310 works, each with a working OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoint. Its strongest institution-operated machine-readable surface
  is identity: two SAML 2.0 identity providers on its own domains (fs.itesm.mx AD FS, amfs.tec.mx NetIQ Access Manager) plus
  a Shibboleth Service Provider in front of RITEC. It is a registered DataCite consortium organization (ITESM, prefix 10.57687,
  three repositories), a Crossref member (25649, prefix 10.46530) and is registered in ROR as 03ayjn504. What it does NOT
  have is a working public API programme: the gated institutional API developer portal formerly at api.tec.mx no longer resolves
  in DNS, and no OpenAPI in this profile is authored by the institution — the repository contracts are generated by the Dataverse
  and DSpace software and are recorded here as deployments, not as the institution''s engineering.'

x-coverage:
  state: covered
  reason: covered
  detail: 'Eleven institution-operated, tenant or registry surfaces were probed live on 2026-09-01 and every one answered:
    two Dataverse/DSpace repository REST APIs, two OAI-PMH endpoints, three SAML surfaces on the institution''s own domains,
    an Entra tenant federation record, and DataCite, Crossref and ROR registrations. Coverage is `covered` for surfaces, NOT
    for contracts: the institution authors no OpenAPI. Two negative findings matter as much as the positives. First, the gated
    institutional API developer portal at api.tec.mx — the one surface that would have been the institution''s own API programme,
    carrying named products such as "Boleta de Calificaciones del Alumno", "Gestión de Estudiantes" and "Gestión de Capital
    Humano" — is now NXDOMAIN on 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1 and 9.9.9.9, while still being indexed by search engines; its pointers were
    removed as dead. Second, the 22 OpenAPIs previously held here were 22 tag-splits of ONE runtime-generated Dataverse document
    whose live title is "Deployed Resources" and whose servers are internal Payara hosts; they were removed under the shared-contract
    rule, along with 44 collections and the artifacts derived from them.'
