Kyushu University Institutional Repository (QIR) OAI-PMH
Live OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface for the Kyushu University Institutional Repository (QIR) and the library's other digital collections, run by Kyushu University Library on the university's own registrable domain. The protocol implementation as well as the collection is the institution's — there is no vendor host in the path — which is why this is the rare university repository surface graded x-operator: institution rather than tenant. Verified live 2026-09-01 across all six verbs. Identify returns repositoryName "Kyushu University Institutional Repository (QIR)", protocolVersion 2.0, adminEmail qir@jimu.kyushu-u.ac.jp, earliestDatestamp 2006-08-16, deletedRecord transient, granularity to the second. ListMetadataFormats returns jpcoar, jpcoar_2.0, junii2 and oai_dc, though the library documents only JPCOAR as fully supported. ListSets returns seven sets — coal, dissertation, hydro, papers, rare, seals, qir — two of which (hydro, qir) appear on the wire but not in the documentation, while `papers` is advertised by ListSets and documented as NOT served. Anonymous, no key, no rate-limit headers; a list response caps at 500 records and pages with resumptionToken. Metadata is CC0 1.0 except QIR abstracts, which carry no licence grant. Protocol errors return HTTP 200 with a self-closing error element, so HTTP status is not a success signal here.
