  Live probes run 2026-08-30 against University of Calgary hosts and against the third-party
  registries that publish the institution's membership records. Every `evidence` value below names
  the exact URL fetched and the status code returned.
note: >-
  Scored against the Kin Score `education` regime standards[]. This is a reward-only record: a
  standard is marked `conforms: true` only where a live probe returned a conformant response, and
  `false` where a probe was run and found nothing. Nothing here is inferred from prose or from
  vendor product documentation. Where the conforming endpoint runs on a vendor platform under a
  University of Calgary account, the operator is named — the conformance is real, the engineering
  is not the institution's.

  evidence: >-
    https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/index/oai?verb=Identify returned 200 with a valid
    OAI-PMH 2.0 response — protocolVersion 2.0, repositoryName "University of Calgary Journal
    Hosting", served from Open Journal Systems 3.4.0.10 on 136.159.60.34, inside the University of
    Calgary registrable domain and the University of Calgary netblock (136.159.0.0/16, ARIN
    NetName U-CALGARY). Institution-operated harvesting surface.
- id: oai-pmh
  conforms: true
  operator: tenant
  evidence: >-
    https://prism.ucalgary.ca/server/oai/request?verb=Identify returned 200 with OAI-PMH 2.0 —
    repositoryName "PRISM", baseURL https://ucalgary.scholaris.ca/server/oai/request,
    repositoryIdentifier ucalgary.scholaris.ca, earliestDatestamp 2003-05-05T17:48:43Z,
    adminEmail openscholarship@ucalgary.libanswers.com. The vanity host prism.ucalgary.ca is a
    CNAME to public-proxy.scholaris.ca (142.150.191.62-64, ARIN NetName ERINDALE-NET, University
    of Toronto / Scholars Portal), so the endpoint is a Scholaris tenant, not institution-run.
- id: saml
  conforms: true
  operator: tenant
  evidence: >-
    https://login.microsoftonline.com/c609a0ec-a5e3-4631-9686-192280bd9151/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml
    returned 200 (28,525 bytes) with a signed SAML 2.0 <EntityDescriptor> for entityID
    https://sts.windows.net/c609a0ec-a5e3-4631-9686-192280bd9151/. The tenant is proven to be
    ucalgary.ca's because
    https://login.microsoftonline.com/ucalgary.ca/v2.0/.well-known/openid-configuration resolves to
    issuer https://login.microsoftonline.com/c609a0ec-a5e3-4631-9686-192280bd9151/v2.0. Reached in
    practice by an SP-initiated login at
    https://ucalgary.scholaris.ca/server/api/authn/shibboleth, which redirects to that tenant's
    /saml2 endpoint. Microsoft Entra ID is the platform; the tenant and its metadata are the
    institution's.
- id: shibboleth
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No Shibboleth IdP metadata was served. idp.ucalgary.ca resolves (136.159.190.199) but presents a
    certificate for labstats.ucalgary.ca (O=The Governors of the University of Calgary) and
    https://idp.ucalgary.ca/idp/shibboleth returns an HTML error page, not SAML metadata.
    shibboleth.ucalgary.ca (136.159.96.31), sso.ucalgary.ca (136.159.96.53) and cas.ucalgary.ca
    (136.159.96.51) resolve but serve no metadata document. Historic Canadian Access Federation
    participation is visible at https://github.com/ucalgary/idp-installer-CAF ("the CAF managed
    version of the idp-installer", last updated 2017-04-18); the live federation is now Entra ID
    SAML — see the `saml` row.
- id: datacite
  conforms: true
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://api.datacite.org/providers/ucalg returned 200 — name "University of Calgary",
    memberType consortium_organization, country CA, website https://library.ucalgary.ca.
    https://api.datacite.org/clients?provider-id=ucalg returned 2 repositories: ucalg.library
    (University of Calgary) and ucalg.tcg (The Calgary Guide to Understanding Disease,
    https://calgaryguide.ucalgary.ca/). The institution is the DOI registrant of record.
- id: crossref
  conforms: true
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://api.crossref.org/members?query=University+of+Calgary returned 200 with exactly one
    match — member id 13844, primary-name "University of Calgary", 5,590 registered DOIs. The
    university is a Crossref member depositing DOIs, principally through the institution-hosted
    Open Journal Systems instance at journalhosting.ucalgary.ca.
- id: orcid
  conforms: true
  operator: tenant
  evidence: >-
    The PRISM DSpace 8.4 deployment has ORCID integration configured, not merely available:
    https://prism.ucalgary.ca/server/api/config/properties/orcid.application-client-id returned 200
    with a real registered client id (APP-JMT55MJUP3VMA7GK), and
    .../config/properties/orcid.authorize-url returned https://orcid.org/oauth/authorize. Runs on
    the Scholaris tenant.
- id: scim
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No SCIM 2.0 service provider configuration was reachable. No public /scim/v2 or
    /ServiceProviderConfig endpoint was found on any probed University of Calgary host, and none is
    advertised on the Entra tenant's public discovery documents.
- id: lti
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No public LTI tool or platform configuration document was found. The university's LMS is D2L
    Brightspace and the institution's public code (https://github.com/ucalgary — valence-sdk-php,
    ti-d2l-grades-export-js, d2l-thrive-python) targets the proprietary D2L Valence API rather than
    LTI Advantage; no /.well-known/lti-platform-configuration or LTI tool JSON was served.
- id: oneroster
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No OneRoster endpoint found. Student-information integration in the institution's public code
    (https://github.com/ucalgary/ps-stream, ps-lms-batch-extract) is PeopleSoft sync-message
    parsing into Kafka, not a OneRoster service.
- id: ed-fi
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No Ed-Fi ODS/API surface found. Ed-Fi is a K-12 data standard and no probed host exposed an
    Ed-Fi descriptor, dependency or metadata endpoint.
- id: caliper
  conforms: false
  evidence: No IMS Caliper Analytics endpoint or sensor endpoint was found on any probed host.
- id: qti
  conforms: false
  evidence: No QTI assessment-interoperability surface was found on any probed host.
extra_standards:
- id: hapi-3.3
  name: Heliophysics Data Application Programmer's Interface (HAPI) 3.3
  conforms: true
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://api.phys.ucalgary.ca/hapi/capabilities returned 200 with {"HAPI":"3.3","outputFormats":
    ["csv","binary","json"],"catalogDepthOptions":["dataset","all"],"status":{"code":1200,
    "message":"OK"}}. https://api.phys.ucalgary.ca/hapi/about returned id "UCalgary/SRS", title
    "UCalgary Space Remote Sensing HAPI Server", contact "Darren Chaddock (dchaddoc@ucalgary.ca)".
    https://api.phys.ucalgary.ca/hapi/catalog returned 200 with the NORSTAR riometer dataset
    catalog. All six HAPI operations are declared in the institution's own OpenAPI 3.1 document at
    https://api.phys.ucalgary.ca/openapi.json under the HAPI tag. This is the strongest
    standards-conformance finding in the profile and it is entirely institution-operated — it is
    outside the Kin Score `education` regime standards[] list, which carries no space-physics or
    time-series data standard.
- id: openapi-3.1
  conforms: true
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://api.phys.ucalgary.ca/openapi.json returned 200 (102,208 bytes), openapi 3.1.0, 22
    paths, 6 tags, 50 component schemas, securitySchemes HTTPBearer + APIKeyHeader, info.version
    1.66.0. Machine-readable and self-published by the institution at a stable path.
- id: openapi-3.0
  conforms: true
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://api.aurorax.space/api/openapi.json returned 200, openapi 3.0.1, 33 paths, 8 tags,
    servers[0] https://api.aurorax.space. Host resolves to 136.159.28.148 — the University of
    Calgary netblock, one address off api.phys.ucalgary.ca (136.159.28.200).
- id: rfc9116-security-txt
  conforms: partial
  operator: institution
  evidence: >-
    https://www.ucalgary.ca/.well-known/security.txt returned 200 (284 bytes) with Contact,
    Preferred-Languages, Canonical, Hiring and Expires fields. It is EXPIRED — "Expires:
    2025-12-31T23:00:00Z", eight months before this probe — which RFC 9116 section 2.5.5 says
    means the file should not be trusted. Partial, not true, for that reason.
- id: llms-txt
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    https://www.ucalgary.ca/llms.txt returns HTTP 200 but redirects to
    https://www.ucalgary.ca/system/404 and serves the 83,776-byte site 404 page — a soft-404, not
    an llms.txt. The same soft-404 body is returned for /privacy, /artificial-intelligence and
    every other unknown path on www.ucalgary.ca, so a 200 from that host is never on its own
    evidence that a document exists.
