University of Chile

aid: university-of-chile
name: University of Chile
description: 'The University of Chile (Universidad de Chile, UChile) is the country''s oldest public university, founded in
  1842 in Santiago, and is ranked #139 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is
  centered on research and scholarly infrastructure rather than a single branded developer portal: a Dataverse-based research
  data repository (datos.uchile.cl) that exposes the standard Dataverse REST API, and a DSpace institutional repository (repositorio.uchile.cl)
  that exposes an OAI-PMH interface for metadata harvesting. The university also maintains official open-source GitHub organizations
  for its Open edX online-education platform. No general-purpose, self-service developer program with API keys was confirmed;
  access is via open standards and open data.'

    endpoint is documented but was not confirmed live during this review.
