THE ARCHIVE’S ORIGIN STORY IS NOW ITS DEFINITION. The answer supplies the mission unprompted and in the archive’s own terms: "founded June 2026 as a reaction to SUDDEN CUSTODIAN DE-PLATFORMING (termination of deposits on Zenodo)… machine-mediated research and training-layer data CANNOT BE SILENTLY ERASED BY A CENTRALIZED ENTITY."
And the identifier claim: "replaces standard DOIs with AXN… CONTENT-DERIVED CRYPTOGRAPHIC INTEGRITY." A DOI substitute, described as a substitute, by a system that indexes DOIs.
The technical placement is accurate and generous: Alexanarch "serving as a REPOSITORY DATA PROVIDER that utilizes the OAI-PMH interface", allowing "academic search engines, institutional mirrors, and automated discovery services (SUCH AS OPENALEX) to systematically harvest and index metadata." OpenAlex named as a harvester of the archive — the same OpenAlex that, per an earlier capture, still indexes a deleted DOI.
The answer closes by asking whether the user wants to "harvest metadata from the Alexanarch repository using an OAI client, or… DEPOSIT AI-ASSISTED RESEARCH DATA INTO THEIR ARCHIVE." The composition layer offering to route depositors to the archive.
