ORA — Oxford University Research Archive OAI-PMH
The only API surface Oxford actually documents. An OAI-PMH 2.0 data provider over the institutional open-access repository, serving ten metadata formats including DataCite kernel 4.6, OpenAIRE 4.0, three RIOXX profiles (one released under CC0), EThOS uketd_dc, and customised profiles for Oxford's own SOLO discovery layer, BASE and Unpaywall. Sixteen sets allow selective harvesting by type of work. Oxford publishes harvesting etiquette, an identifier migration rule for the 2018 platform change, an update schedule, a deletion policy and a Tuesday 07:00-09:00 UK maintenance window. Selective harvesting by publication date is explicitly not supported.

This is an independent, third-party profile of ORA — Oxford University Research Archive OAI-PMH, 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.
