University of Göttingen

aid: university-of-gottingen
name: University of Göttingen
description: 'The University of Göttingen (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) is a public research university in Lower Saxony,
  Germany, ranked #254 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable footprint is delivered mainly
  through campus partners: the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB Göttingen) publishes digital-library interfaces
  such as the IIIF Image/ Presentation APIs and a custom TextAPI for digitized objects, while the Göttingen eResearch Alliance
  operates the GRO.data (Göttingen Research Online) Dataverse research-data repository, which exposes an OAI-PMH endpoint
  and a Dataverse REST search API. There is no single official institution-wide developer portal; identity is handled via
  SAML/Shibboleth and OpenID Connect AAI run with GWDG.'
