University of Exeter

name: University of Exeter
description: 'The University of Exeter is a public research university in Devon, United Kingdom, and a member of the Russell
  Group, ranked #169 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public developer/API footprint is modest and largely institutional
  rather than a packaged developer program: there is no dedicated public developer portal. Confirmed surfaces include the
  Open Research Exeter (ORE) DSpace repository, which exposes standard DSpace OAI-PMH and REST interfaces for harvesting research
  outputs and metadata; federated identity via a Shibboleth/SAML Identity Provider; the MyExeter mobile application backend;
  and an official GitHub organization that publishes some middleware and research code (including WSO2 Micro Integrator artifacts).'

  name: Open Research Exeter (ORE) OAI-PMH
  description: Open Research Exeter (ORE) is the University of Exeter's institutional repository, built on DSpace, holding
    research papers, theses, and research data. As a DSpace repository it provides a standard OAI-PMH interface for metadata
    harvesting. The endpoint host responds but is protected by a bot-mitigation gateway, so the live verb responses could
    not be fully confirmed during this review.

  name: Open Research Exeter (ORE) DSpace REST API
  description: The Open Research Exeter DSpace platform exposes the standard DSpace REST API for programmatic access to communities,
    collections, items, and bitstreams. The repository host is reachable but sits behind a bot-mitigation gateway, so the
    REST API surface could not be fully verified live during this review and is documented per DSpace defaults.

  description: The University of Exeter operates a SAML-based federated identity service via a Shibboleth Identity Provider
    used for single sign-on to library electronic resources and federated services through the UK Access Management Federation.
    Access is gated to institutional members and federation service providers; it is not a self-service developer API.
