description: >-
Live-probed conformance of University of Barcelona (Universitat de Barcelona)
surfaces against the Kin Score `education` regulatory regime standards[]
vocabulary. Every hit below is evidenced by a fetched URL and its HTTP status
code on the probe date. Standards with no evidence are recorded as not_found
rather than omitted, so the absence is legible. Nothing here is inferred from
a prose claim on a web page.

standards:
- id: lti
name: IMS/1EdTech Learning Tools Interoperability 1.3 (LTI Advantage)
status: conformant
x-operator: institution
role: platform
detail: >-
Campus Virtual UB (Moodle) publishes a live LTI 1.3 tool-platform JWKS and
exposes the LTI Advantage OAuth2 client-credentials token endpoint. The
token endpoint answers an empty request with a well-formed OAuth2
invalid_request error, which confirms the LTI service is enabled rather
than merely routed.
evidence:
- url: https://campusvirtual.ub.edu/mod/lti/certs.php
status: 200
note: LTI 1.3 platform JWKS — RSA RS256 public key set, kid 185afd2b8e3d988e50f5.
- url: https://campusvirtual.ub.edu/mod/lti/token.php
status: 400
note: 'LTI Advantage token endpoint; returns {"error":"invalid_request"} to an empty request.'
- id: saml
name: SAML 2.0
status: conformant
x-operator: federation
role: identity-provider
detail: >-
The University of Barcelona identity provider is published as a signed
SAML 2.0 EntityDescriptor through RedIRIS SIR, the Spanish academic
identity federation, and is carried into eduGAIN. entityID
https://www.rediris.es/sir/ubidp, IDPSSODescriptor with
protocolSupportEnumeration urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol,
mdui:DisplayName "Universitat de Barcelona", registrationAuthority
http://www.rediris.es/. UB additionally runs its own SAML2 SSO service
endpoint on its own host.

- id: shibboleth
name: Shibboleth metadata extensions (urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0)
status: conformant
x-operator: federation
role: identity-provider
detail: >-
The UB entity descriptor carries the Shibboleth metadata extension
shibmd:Scope asserting the ub.edu attribute scope, which is what makes the
IdP usable by Shibboleth service providers across eduGAIN. Confirmed by
reading the metadata document, not by a claim about it.

- id: oai-pmh
name: OAI-PMH 2.0
status: conformant
x-operator: institution
role: data-provider
detail: >-
Revistes Científiques de la Universitat de Barcelona answers the OAI-PMH
2.0 Identify, ListSets and ListMetadataFormats verbs on the institution's
own host, advertising 100 sets and adminEmail revistesub@ub.edu. The
Dipòsit Digital OAI-PMH endpoint answered Identify with HTTP 200 on
2026-06-03 but its whole host returned 503 throughout the 2026-09-01
re-probe, so it is recorded here as degraded rather than as evidence.
evidence:

- id: crossref
name: Crossref DOI registration
status: conformant
x-operator: registry
role: member
detail: >-
The university press, Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona, is a
Crossref member in its own right — member id 17854, DOI prefixes 10.1344
and 10.32869, 10,561 registered DOIs at probe time. This is a fact about
the institution recorded through the registry's own API; the registry's
contract is Crossref's and is not saved here.
evidence:
- url: https://api.crossref.org/members/17854
status: 200

primary-name "Edicions de la Universitat de Barcelona", prefixes

note: Public Crossref member record.
not_found:
- id: datacite
detail: >-
No DataCite provider or repository client resolves to the University of
Barcelona. api.datacite.org/clients and /providers queried for "barcelona",
"ub.edu" and "csuc" returned zero matching UB entries. UB research-data
DOIs are minted through the CSUC-operated CORA Repositori de Dades de
Recerca, so the DataCite client belongs to the consortium, not to UB.
Recorded as absent rather than credited.
evidence:

status: 200
note: '{"data":[],"meta":{"total":0}}'
- id: orcid
detail: >-
No machine-readable evidence of a UB-operated ORCID member integration was
found. Spanish ORCID membership runs through FECYT at national level and
no institution-scoped endpoint could be probed. Not claimed.
- id: scim
detail: No SCIM 2.0 provisioning endpoint found on any ub.edu host.
- id: oneroster
detail: No 1EdTech OneRoster endpoint found. Not typical for a European public university.
- id: ed-fi
detail: Not applicable — Ed-Fi is a US K-12 data standard.
- id: caliper
detail: >-
No Caliper Analytics endpoint found. Moodle can emit Caliper but nothing is
publicly exposed on campusvirtual.ub.edu.
- id: qti
detail: No QTI content service endpoint found on any ub.edu host.
