  https://www.teranet.ca/registry-solutions/province-of-ontario/teranet-connect/ plus live probes of
  every Teranet host (see well-known/teranet-well-known.yml) and the RESO directory work recorded in
  review.yml
summary: >-
  Teranet conforms to almost none of the cross-cutting API standards the catalog tracks, and this is
  a posture rather than an oversight: Teranet Connect predates the modern spec ecosystem and is
  distributed under licence to a small set of legal-software vendors who receive their interface
  documentation privately. The one standard genuinely evidenced is XML over Web services, which
  Teranet states in its own words. Everything else is recorded as not-conforming with the evidence
  of absence, not asserted as absent by assumption.
standards:
- id: xml-web-services
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    Teranet: "by utilizing XML and Web services interfaces as well as standardized rules-based
    routing of information" (Teranet Connect product page and product sheet).
- id: openapi
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No OpenAPI or Swagger document exists on any Teranet host. /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml,
    /swagger.json, /api-docs and /docs were probed on www.teranet.ca, teranet.ca, www.teraview.ca,
    www.onland.ca, www.purview.ca, www.teranetmanitoba.ca and the NXDOMAIN candidates
    api./developer./docs./connect.teranet.ca. Every 200 was a WordPress soft-404 HTML page.
- id: wsdl
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    Teranet describes Web services interfaces but publishes no WSDL. No service description of any
    kind is retrievable anonymously.

  conforms: false
  evidence: No event, streaming or webhook surface is documented on any Teranet property.
- id: graphql
  conforms: false
  evidence: No /graphql endpoint found on any Teranet host.
- id: mcp
  conforms: false
  evidence: No Model Context Protocol server, no llms.txt, no agent-facing surface.
- id: oauth2
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No authorization server. /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server returns a soft-404 HTML page on
    every host. Authentication is a proprietary account plus RSA hardware token; see
    authentication/teranet-authentication.yml.
- id: openid-connect
  conforms: false
  evidence: /.well-known/openid-configuration returns a soft-404 HTML page on every probed host.

  conforms: false
  evidence: No error reference, error registry or problem-details schema is published.
- id: rfc9116-security-txt

- id: rfc9727-api-catalog
  conforms: false
  evidence: /.well-known/api-catalog returns a soft-404 HTML page.
- id: rfc8594-sunset-header

    document and no Universal Property Identifier reference appears on teranet.ca, teraview.ca,
    onland.ca, geowarehouse.ca, purview.ca, teranetmanitoba.ca or thenewrealm.ca. Teranet is a land
    registry operator, not an MLS; RESO does not govern Canadian land registration. Full directory
    evidence is recorded in review.yml under sectorBlock.resoPosture.
- id: odata
  conforms: false
  evidence: No OData service root or $metadata document on any Teranet host.
- id: json-api
  conforms: false

compliance_programs:
  published: false
  certifications: []
  evidence: >-
    No trust centre, no security page, no SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS or FedRAMP claim was found on
    any Teranet property, and probe-security-programs.py returned no trust-centre and no
    vulnerability-disclosure hit. Teranet operates under statutory and contractual obligations to
    the Province of Ontario and to Manitoba rather than under a publicly marketed compliance
    programme, so no Compliance pointer is emitted.
