  description: >-
    Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) version
    2.0 interface for WIReDSpace, the University of the Witwatersrand
    institutional repository. The protocol is a single-endpoint, verb-driven
    HTTP API returning XML. Verified live: the Identify response names the
    repository "WIReDSpace", protocolVersion 2.0, granularity
    YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ, and deletedRecord policy "transient". Responses are
    XML conforming to the OAI-PMH schema, not JSON; this specification documents
    the request surface only.

      description: >-
        Single OAI-PMH entry point. The `verb` parameter selects the operation.
        Supported verbs are Identify, ListMetadataFormats, ListSets,
        ListIdentifiers, ListRecords, and GetRecord. Selective harvesting
        parameters (from, until, set, metadataPrefix, identifier,
        resumptionToken) apply per verb as defined by the OAI-PMH 2.0 protocol.
