name: University of Glasgow
description: 'The University of Glasgow is a public research university in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, founded in 1451
  and ranked #62 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-accessible developer footprint is centered
  on scholarly infrastructure rather than a unified developer portal: the Enlighten institutional repository and Enlighten
  Research Data repository both run on EPrints and expose OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting endpoints. There is no single university-wide
  API developer portal; departmental engineering teams publish open-source code on GitHub, and access to most internal systems
  is gated behind Shibboleth/SAML single sign-on (GUID).'
