description: 'The University of Bonn (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn) is a public research university in Bonn,
  Germany, ranked #227 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its primary public, machine-readable developer footprint
  is bonndata, the institutional cross-disciplinary research data repository built on the open-source Dataverse platform,
  which exposes a public Dataverse Native REST API and an OAI-PMH metadata harvesting endpoint. The university also maintains
  an official GitHub organization (unibonn) with code from across the institution. Most other systems (library Alma/Primo
  discovery, identity/SSO, student information systems) are operated through standard vendor platforms without separately
  published public developer portals.'
