KOARA OAI-PMH Metadata API

KOARA (KeiO Associated Repository of Academic resources) is Keio University's institutional repository, released by the Media Center in 2006 and running on the open-source XooNips platform on Keio's own host. Its OAI-PMH 2.0 interface is live, anonymous and complete: Identify reports protocolVersion 2.0, second-level datestamp granularity and adminEmail mchq-system-group@keio.jp; ListMetadataFormats advertises oai_dc and junii2 (the National Institute of Informatics schema that IRDB harvests); ListSets returns 100 sets named for the faculties, graduate schools and research centres that deposit into it. An agent can harvest the university's entire scholarly record without a key. One behaviour is worth knowing before integrating: protocol failures come back with HTTP 200 and the error inside the XML body.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of KOARA OAI-PMH Metadata API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
