Federation peers · Not vendors

संस्थाः

The peers who hold the manuscript record.

We do not extract. We synchronize. Each institution keeps ownership of its data.

Universities, libraries, museums, monasteries, temple archives, and research institutes federate with Vamshanidhi as peers, not as vendors. Each institution keeps ownership of its own data; the platform federates metadata, citations, and signed manifests under their license. The contract is two-way: outbound IIIF v3 manifests, outbound OAI-PMH responses, and cross-walked Wikidata identifiers are first-class.

A scholar at Oxford citing a Vamshanidhi record is citing a URL that resolves stably for a century. A peer institution mirroring that record is mirroring a citation, not a copy. The provenance row, signed and hashed, accompanies every federation event.
