  Conformance against the Kin Score `education` regime standards[] — scim, lti, oneroster, ed-fi,
  caliper, qti, oai-pmh, shibboleth, saml, orcid, datacite, crossref. UOW publishes no OpenAPI,
  AsyncAPI or other API contract of its own, so the only contract-level evidence available here is
  the SAML 2.0 metadata document its Identity Provider serves; every other `true` below is a
  registry record fetched from that registry's own API. Nothing is asserted from a prose claim
  alone, and no conformance was invented to fill a slot.
standards:
- id: saml
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    https://idp.uow.edu.au/idp/shibboleth returns HTTP 200, application/xml, 4,358 bytes — a SAML
    2.0 EntityDescriptor (xmlns urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata) with entityID
    https://idp.uow.edu.au/idp/shibboleth, an IDPSSODescriptor carrying
    protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol", signing and encryption
    KeyDescriptors, NameIDFormat transient, and SingleSignOnService bindings for HTTP-POST
    (/idp/profile/SAML2/POST/SSO) and HTTP-Redirect (/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO). The
    document itself is the contract.
- id: shibboleth
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    The same document carries the Shibboleth metadata extension namespace
    urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0 with <shibmd:Scope regexp="false">uow.edu.au</shibmd:Scope>,
    and the IdP is reachable at Shibboleth IdP paths (/idp/profile/..., /idp/status returns 403).
    The entity appears in the Australian Access Federation aggregate at
    https://md.aaf.edu.au/aaf-metadata.xml (HTTP 200, 3,188,501 bytes), which also carries the
    AAF attribute auEduPersonSharedToken (urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.27856.1.2.5) as a requested
    attribute on the UOW entity.
- id: datacite
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    https://api.datacite.org/providers/uow returns HTTP 200 with name "University of Wollongong",
    symbol UOW, memberType consortium_organization, created 2024-08-26. Prefix 10.71747 is
    assigned to it (api.datacite.org/prefixes?provider-id=uow) and the repository client
    uow.figshare is registered under it (api.datacite.org/clients?provider-id=uow). Live UOW
    items carry DOIs under that prefix, e.g. 10.71747/uow-r3gk326m.33400099.v1.
- id: crossref
  conforms: true
  evidence: >-
    https://api.crossref.org/members/5587 returns HTTP 200 with primary-name "University of
    Wollongong Library", prefix 10.14453, and 1,611 registered DOIs (277 current, 1,334 backfile)
    as of 2026-09-01.
- id: orcid
  conforms: partial
  evidence: >-
    Documentation-level only, not contract-level. UOW's Symplectic Elements deployment claims
    ORCID integration in both directions — "Uses identifiers to automatically claim your research
    outputs from Scopus, Web of Science and ORCiD" and "Authorise Elements to automatically send
    your research outputs to ORCiD" (https://uow.libguides.com/elements, HTTP 200), and the
    library runs a dedicated ORCID guide (https://uow.libguides.com/ORCID, HTTP 200). No UOW-run
    endpoint exposing ORCID iDs machine-readably could be reached: the Symplectic Discovery /api
    mount on scholars.uow.edu.au answers HTTP 403. Marked partial because the integration is
    Symplectic's, evidenced in prose, not in a contract UOW publishes.
- id: oai-pmh
  conforms: unknown
  evidence: >-
    Not confirmed, and the previous profile's claim has been withdrawn. Research Online migrated
    from bepress Digital Commons to Figshare, so the recorded base URL
    https://ro.uow.edu.au/do/oai/ is a bepress path. Every path on that host — /, /do/oai/?verb=Identify
    and /oai?verb=Identify — returns HTTP 202 with x-amzn-waf-action: challenge and an AWS WAF
    body scoped to awsWafCookieDomainList = ['figshare.com'], so no verb=Identify response could
    be obtained by any anonymous client. Sherpa's registry entry for repository 276
    (https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/repository/276) returns HTTP 403 to automated clients and in any
    case describes the retired platform.
- id: scim
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No SCIM service provider configuration found. https://www.uow.edu.au/scim/v2/ServiceProviderConfig,
    https://www.uow.edu.au/ServiceProviderConfig and
    https://idp.uow.edu.au/scim/v2/ServiceProviderConfig all return HTTP 404, and scim.uow.edu.au
    does not resolve in DNS.
- id: lti
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No public LTI tool or platform registration is published. lti.uow.edu.au and
    moodle.uow.edu.au do not resolve in DNS, https://www.uow.edu.au/.well-known/openid-configuration
    returns HTTP 404, and no LTI Dynamic Registration or Deep Linking endpoint could be reached
    on any UOW host.
- id: oneroster
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No OneRoster endpoint or claim found on any reachable UOW host, and none is referenced
    anywhere in the 5,092-URL www.uow.edu.au sitemap; OneRoster is a K-12 rostering standard.
- id: ed-fi
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No Ed-Fi ODS/API endpoint or reference found on any reachable UOW host or in the
    www.uow.edu.au sitemap; Ed-Fi is a US K-12 data standard.
- id: caliper
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No Caliper Analytics endpoint, sensor or claim found on any public UOW surface or in the
    www.uow.edu.au sitemap.
- id: qti
  conforms: false
  evidence: >-
    No QTI item bank or export endpoint found on any public UOW surface or in the
    www.uow.edu.au sitemap.
