description: >-
  Verbatim response bodies captured from Harvard-operated surfaces on 2026-08-19. Every file in
  this directory is a real response to a real request against a host under harvard.edu (or a
  Harvard-owned GitHub org), not a hand-written or generated payload. Nothing here was fabricated
  and nothing here was captured from a vendor's shared host.
examples:
  - file: harvard-librarycloud-item-response.json
    request: GET https://api.lib.harvard.edu/v2/items.json?title=chess&limit=1
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard Library LibraryCloud (Open Metadata) Item API
    x-operator: institution
  - file: harvard-dash-oai-identify.xml
    request: GET https://dash.harvard.edu/server/oai/request?verb=Identify
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard DASH OAI-PMH 2.0
    x-operator: tenant
    note: >-
      repositoryName "Harvard DASH", repositoryIdentifier dash.harvard.edu.
      dash.harvard.edu CNAMEs to harvard-dash.prod.4science.cloud, so the platform
      is 4Science's managed DSpace and the operator is tenant, not institution.
  - file: harvard-dataverse-oai-identify.xml
    request: GET https://dataverse.harvard.edu/oai?verb=Identify
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard Dataverse OAI-PMH 2.0
    x-operator: institution
    note: repositoryName "Harvard Dataverse Dataverse OAI Archive", adminEmail support@dataverse.harvard.edu
  - file: harvard-dataverse-search-response.json
    request: GET https://dataverse.harvard.edu/api/search?q=climate&per_page=1
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard Dataverse native REST API

  - file: harvard-incommon-idp-metadata.xml
    request: GET https://mdq.incommon.org/entities/https%3A%2F%2Ffed.huit.harvard.edu%2Fidp%2Fshibboleth
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard University Shibboleth IdP, InCommon federation entry
    x-operator: institution
    note: >-
      Signed SAML 2.0 EntityDescriptor. OrganizationName "Harvard College",
      mdui:DisplayName "Harvard University", REFEDS SIRTFI assurance,
      REFEDS Research and Scholarship entity category. Served by the InCommon
      metadata query service; the entity itself is Harvard-operated.
  - file: harvard-lil-lawskills-personas.json
    request: GET https://harvard-lil.github.io/lawskills-hub/actions/personas.json

  - file: harvard-dash-dspace-rest-root.json
    request: GET https://dash.harvard.edu/server/api
    status: 200
    surface: Harvard DASH DSpace 7 REST API root (application/hal+json)
    x-operator: tenant
    note: >-
      DSpace 7 running on 4Science's managed cloud behind Harvard's hostname
      (dash.harvard.edu -> dash.lib.harvard.edu -> harvard-dash.prod.4science.cloud).
      The content and the DOIs are Harvard's; the REST contract is DSpace's and the
      operations are 4Science's. No OpenAPI is emitted by this host - the root document
      is a HAL discovery response. Captured as evidence of the tenant relationship, NOT
      as a Harvard-authored contract.

    request: GET https://api.datacite.org/prefixes/10.7910

    surface: DataCite registration evidence for Harvard Dataverse
    x-operator: institution
    note: >-
      DataCite provider "harvardu" (Harvard University), repository client
      "gdcc.harvard-dv" (Harvard Dataverse). This is the evidence behind the
      datacite entry in conformance/.
