OAI-ORE is a standard to describe and identify aggregations on the web. Taking a publication as an example, it mostly consists of multiple resources (publisher pdf, supplementary material, metadata etc.), therefore what we 'see' as an publication is actually the aggregation of multiple resources.
Aggregations should be modelled in respect of the core foundations of the Web
- Resource, an item of interest.
- URI, a global identifier for a Resource.
- Representation
- Link, a directed connection between two Resources.
Basic Principles[edit]
Aggregation (A)[edit]
A non-informative resource
Resource Map (ReM)[edit]
An information resource that describes an aggregation
