Can AI agents automate Nasjonalt vitenarkiv (NVA)?

Sikt · saas · educationpublic-sectorknowledge-management

Nasjonalt vitenarkiv is automatable as Sikt's national CRIS and open-access archive, not as Cristin, Brage, or Sikt FS. Cristin and Brage were closed at the end of 2025 after production cutover on 1 October 2025. Production REST is https://api.nva.unit.no with Swagger UI at https://swagger-ui.nva.unit.no/. Payloads are JSON-LD. Many search and person read endpoints are open; unauthenticated traffic may be throttled. Institution clients obtain OAuth 2.0 client-credentials tokens from Amazon Cognito after requesting a clientId and clientSecret from Sikt. Writes such as student-thesis deposit need that Bearer token. Person-register updates are not available over the API today. Web login is Feide or ID-porten. First-party MCP ownership is not established. Computer-use viability is unassessed.

No repeatable UI probe was run. The NVA web service at nva.sikt.no uses Feide or ID-porten. The documented machine path is the NVA REST API, not browser control of a researcher or curator session.
