generated: '2026-09-01' method: probed source: >- Live probes of University-of-Bern-operated hosts on 2026-09-01, plus the SWITCHaai federation metadata aggregate and the DataCite / ROR member records. No OpenAPI or other machine-readable contract is published by the University of Bern, so every conformance claim below is evidenced by a probed response, never by a spec document. docs: https://www.ub.unibe.ch/services/digital_scholarship/apis/index_eng.html note: >- Scored against the Kin Score `education` regime standards[]. Only standards with a fetched, quotable response are marked conforms: true. Bern publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt or agent card on any host it operates, and the two REST surfaces it does run (DSpace and OJS) are both closed to anonymous callers, so the conformance story here is entirely protocol- and registry-shaped. standards: - id: oai-pmh conforms: true evidence: >- Two institution-operated OAI-PMH 2.0 endpoints answered verb=Identify with valid OAI-PMH XML on 2026-09-01.

Five DataCite repositories are registered under the member: unibe.boris-portal ("Open Access CRIS of the University of Bern"), unibe.bop-serials, unibe.cssl, unibe.dhkg, unibe.repo-phbern. This is a registry MEMBERSHIP, not a Bern-operated contract. - id: orcid conforms: false evidence: >- No Bern-operated ORCID integration was evidenced. https://pub.orcid.org/v3.0/search/ ?q=ror-org-id:"02k7v4d05" returned {"result":null,"num-found":0}, and no ORCID member record or institutional ORCID connect service was found on a unibe.ch host. - id: crossref conforms: false evidence: >- Bern registers DOIs through DataCite, not Crossref. The University Library's own APIs guide lists Crossref as a THIRD-PARTY data source for text and data mining, not as a Bern membership. - id: scim conforms: false evidence: No SCIM endpoint or SCIM claim found on any unibe.ch host; identity provisioning is not publicly documented. - id: lti conforms: false evidence: >- No LTI tool-provider or platform registration is published.
