Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. The OAI-ORE specifications are based around the ORE Model which introduces the Resource Map (ReM) that makes it possible to associate an identity with aggregations of resources and make assertions about their structure and semantics. Version 1.0 of the specification was released on 17 October2008.[1]

These aggregations (sometimes called compound digital objects or compound information objects) may combine distributed resources with multiple media types including text, images, data, and video. The goal of OAI-ORE is to expose the rich content in aggregations to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization, reuse, and preservation.

OAI-ORE is funded by the Mellon Foundation.

Resource Maps

Resource Maps (ReMs) may be serialized (or represented) in several different formats including Atom feeds, RDF/XML, RDFa, and others. The example below illustrates how a ReM can represent the arXiv e-print at http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0601007 using an Atom feed. Metadata such as the digital object identifier, title, and authors for the e-print are included first in the Atom feed. The e-print is a compound digital object composed of five aggregated resources which are listed next: OAI-PMH metadata about the e-print, a splash page, a PostScript version of the e-print, a PDF version, and a gzipped tar file containing multiple versions of the e-print.
