description: 'The University of Wollongong (UOW) is a public research university based in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia,
  ranked #167 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UOW does not operate a public, self-service developer portal. Its
  confirmed machine-readable footprint is built on third-party platforms: the Research Online institutional repository runs
  on bepress Digital Commons and exposes an OAI-PMH metadata interface, while the UOW Library runs on the Ex Libris Alma/Primo
  platform whose REST APIs are documented through the Ex Libris Developer Network. UOW IT Services also maintains a small
  public GitHub organization. Most institutional systems (student administration, identity) are gated behind authentication
  and not publicly documented.'

  description: OAI-PMH metadata harvesting interface for University of Wollongong Research Online, the institution's open
    access repository running on bepress Digital Commons. Exposes journal articles, conference papers, theses, and reports
    for harvesting. Endpoint is documented by Sherpa (repository 276); the live endpoint returns a bot challenge to automated
    clients, so a valid Identify response could not be confirmed in this pass.

  name: UOW Library Discovery (Ex Libris Primo/Alma)
  description: The UOW Library runs on the Ex Libris Alma library services platform with the Primo discovery layer (adopted
    2020). Primo and Alma expose REST APIs for search, bibliographic, and resource-management workflows. The APIs are documented
    through the Ex Libris Developer Network and generally require an institution API key; UOW does not publish its own developer
    documentation.
