name: University of Queensland
description: 'The University of Queensland (UQ) is a public research university in Brisbane, Australia, ranked #54 in the
  QS World University Rankings 2025. UQ''s public developer and API footprint is concentrated in its library and research
  infrastructure: UQ eSpace, the institutional digital repository (built on the Fez/Fedora platform), exposes an OAI-PMH metadata
  harvesting endpoint and a documented REST API with executable examples. The UQ Library maintains an active public GitHub
  organisation (uqlibrary) with 150+ repositories. Broader institutional/transactional data access is governed through the
  Central Integration Platform and Data Hub, which are gated and require approval rather than offering open self-service APIs.'
