  Live probes on 2026-09-01 of the University of Lausanne's own hosts
  (api.unil.ch, spica.unil.ch, www.unil.ch) plus the SWITCHaai federation
  metadata aggregate (metadata.aai.switch.ch), the DataCite REST API
  (api.datacite.org) and the ROR REST API (api.ror.org). Written by API
  Evangelist; the University of Lausanne makes no conformance claim of its own.

  Scored against the Kin Score `education` regulatory regime standards[]:
  scim, lti, oneroster, ed-fi, caliper, qti, oai-pmh, shibboleth, saml, orcid,
  datacite, crossref. Reward-only. A standard is asserted true only where a
  probe returned the conforming artifact itself; everything unevidenced is left
  false rather than assumed, including standards UNIL almost certainly uses
  internally behind my.unil.ch (LTI in Moodle, SCIM in its directory) but does
  not expose on any anonymously reachable surface.

  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    IRIS serves two anonymous OAI-PMH 2.0 contexts on UNIL's own host.
    https://api.unil.ch/iris/server/oai/request?verb=Identify returns
    protocolVersion 2.0, repositoryName "IRIS (follower)", baseURL
    https://api.unil.ch/iris/server/oai/request, adminEmail iris@unil.ch,
    granularity YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ, earliestDatestamp 2025-05-19T06:21:03Z,
    deletedRecord transient, and an oai-identifier block with
    repositoryIdentifier iris.unil.ch. ListMetadataFormats returns 11 prefixes
    (oai_dc, qdc, dim, mods, marc, rdf, ore, mets, didl, etdms, uketd_dc);
    ListSets returns community (com_iris_N) and collection (col_iris_N) sets;
    verb=Bogus returns <error code="badVerb">Illegal verb</error> inside HTTP 200,
    which is the protocol-correct behaviour. A second context at
    https://api.unil.ch/iris/server/oai/openairecris declares OpenAIRE Guidelines
    for CRIS Managers v1.1 compatibility.

  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    UNIL operates its own Shibboleth Identity Provider, entityID
    https://aai.unil.ch/idp/shibboleth — UNIL's own namespace, with
    OrganizationName "unil.ch", OrganizationDisplayName "Université de
    Lausanne" and a shibmd:Scope of unil.ch. The entity carries an
    IDPSSODescriptor (not an SPSSODescriptor) and appears in SWITCH's IdP-only
    aggregate https://metadata.aai.switch.ch/metadata.switchaai+idp.xml
    (HTTP 200, 1,483,573 bytes, anonymous) and in the full SWITCHaai aggregate
    https://metadata.aai.switch.ch/metadata.switchaai.xml (HTTP 200, 21,322,447
    bytes), alongside 145 distinct unil.ch entityIDs. Its SingleSignOnService
    endpoints resolve to https://unil.login.eduid.ch/idp/profile/SAML2/{Redirect,POST}/SSO
    — a UNIL-named tenant on SWITCH's edu-ID platform (unil.login.eduid.ch
    resolves to eduid-idp.lb.trid.switch.ch, 130.59.31.61). The entityID, the
    scope, the organisation and the identities are UNIL's; the hosting is
    SWITCH's. Recorded as federation, which is what that split is for.

- id: saml
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    The same EntityDescriptor is a SAML 2.0 metadata document in the
    urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata namespace, XML-signed at the aggregate
    level, and exported onward to eduGAIN — confirmed present in
    https://mds.edugain.org/edugain-v2.xml (HTTP 200, 93,191,945 bytes) on
    2026-09-01. UNIL registers a second, non-Shibboleth SAML entity in the same
    federation, http://sts.unil.ch/adfs/services/trust, plus a Keycloak realm
    entity at https://bix.unil.ch/keycloak/realms/edu_id on its own host.

  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    UNIL holds a DataCite repository registration. api.datacite.org/clients?query=unil
    returns client PWKB.PGDJAM, name "Old DOIs Unil", clientType repository,
    created 2025-12-12, administered under the consortium organisation PWKB
    (FORS - Swiss Centre of Expertise in the Social Sciences,
    https://ror.org/00weppy16). DOIs minted under it carry prefix 10.48657 and
    publisher "UNIL data service" (for example 10.48657/mc4b-0958,
    10.48657/3499-cq82). The registry contract is DataCite's, not UNIL's; the
    membership is UNIL's.

    The IRIS DSpace-CRIS root document exposes 92 HAL link relations, none of
    them an ORCID endpoint, and no anonymously reachable UNIL surface returns
    ORCID iDs as a first-class contract. Left false rather than assumed.
- id: crossref
  conforms: false
  note: >-
    api.crossref.org/members?query=Lausanne returns no University of Lausanne
    member (the only Lausanne hit is an EPFL laboratory, member 52983). UNIL
    registers DOIs through DataCite, not Crossref.
