  title: University of Gothenburg — GUPEA OAI-PMH 2.0 Interface
  version: '2.0'
  description: >-
    OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata harvesting interface for GUPEA (Gothenburg University Publications
    Electronic Archive), the University of Gothenburg Library's institutional repository.


    This is an institution-operated surface. The endpoint lives on `gupea.ub.gu.se`, a University
    of Gothenburg host; the Identify response names the repository `GUPEA`, gives the repository
    identifier `gupea.ub.gu.se`, the admin contact `gup@ub.gu.se` and an earliest datestamp of
    1906-05-30. The software underneath is DSpace 8.3 — an open-source product, not a vendor
    tenancy — and the deployment, the host, the content and the contact are the University's.


    DERIVED. The University publishes no OpenAPI for this endpoint. OAI-PMH is a
    query-parameter protocol, so this document describes it the way the protocol actually works:
    one operation carrying a `verb` parameter. Every value below was read from a live response
    captured on 2026-09-01 and stored verbatim under `examples/`.
