Oxford Text Archive OAI-PMH

A second, independent OAI-PMH data provider, separate from ORA — the Bodleian Libraries' language-resources repository, running on a self-hosted DSpace installation with an OLAC archive description. Showing its age: earliest datestamp 2019, an OLAC record last reviewed 2020-02-26, and an unresolved software template variable in the OLAC access field. Deleted records are transient here, unlike ORA where they are not tracked at all.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Oxford Text 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.
