description: >-
  Université de Montréal (UdeM) is a leading French-language public research
  university in Montréal, Québec, Canada, ranked #95 in the QS World University
  Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is modest and
  research/library oriented rather than a centralized developer portal: the
  SADVR REST API (Service d'accès aux données de la Vitrine-Recherche) exposes
  research expertise and unit data, the Papyrus institutional repository offers
  a live OAI-PMH metadata endpoint, and UdeM participates in the Borealis
  Canadian Dataverse for research data. There is no single unified, branded
  developer portal; integration surfaces are distributed across library and
  research infrastructure.

    name: SADVR REST API (Vitrine-Recherche)
    description: >-
      REST API from the Service d'accès aux données de la Vitrine-Recherche,
      redistributing UdeM research data. Provides five JSON services: resource
      value exposure (faculties, departments, functions, programs, study
      domains, research expertise, languages, unit types), persistent
      identifier search for individuals and research units, extended identifier
      search, full data retrieval by persistent identifier, and a SOLR-backed
      search engine service. The documented base path is a testing/legacy
      endpoint and may not currently resolve.
