  Derived by API Evangelist from terms observed in live responses of Kyoto University-operated
  surfaces: the KURENAI DSpace 7.6 REST and OAI-PMH endpoints (2026-06-03, re-verified 2026-08-19)
  and the PandA (Sakai) Entity Broker plus IMS LTI endpoints (2026-08-19). Kyoto University
  publishes no vocabulary of its own; nothing here is the institution's own publication.
