Universität Hamburg

aid: universitat-hamburg
name: Universität Hamburg
description: 'Universität Hamburg is a public research university in Hamburg, Germany, ranked #191 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public developer and machine-readable footprint is concentrated in library and open-access infrastructure
  operated by the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek (SUB) and the Regionales Rechenzentrum (RRZ), rather than a single branded
  developer portal. Confirmed public interfaces include a DSpace-based institutional dissertation repository (ediss.sub.hamburg)
  exposing an OAI-PMH metadata endpoint, and an official Universität Hamburg open-source presence on GitHub. Campus systems
  such as the STiNE campus-management platform and Shibboleth/SAML single sign-on are gated and not openly documented as public
  APIs.'

  name: Open-Access-Portal Universität Hamburg
  description: Open Access discovery portal aggregating freely available publications, research data, teaching materials,
    and scientific collections of Universität Hamburg. Underlying IT services (repositories and metadata exports such as OAI)
    are operated by the Regionales Rechenzentrum (RRZ); no single public, documented REST API is published, so this entry
    indexes the human-facing portal and its harvestable metadata infrastructure.
