Over the past two years
the <http://www.openarchives.org/>Open Archives
Initiative (OAI), in a project
called <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/>Object
Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE), has gathered
international experts from the publishing, web,
library, repository, and eScience communities to
develop standards for the identification and
description of aggregations of Web
resources. These standards provide the
foundation for applications and services that
can visualize, preserve, transfer, summarize,
and improve access to the aggregations that
people use in their daily Web interaction:
including multiple page Web documents, multiple
format documents in institutional repositories,
scholarly data sets, and online photo and music
collections. The OAI-ORE standards leverage
the core Web architecture and concepts emerging
from related efforts including the semantic web,
linked data, and Atom syndication. As a result,
they integrate both with the emerging
machine-readable web, Web 2.0, and the future
evolution of networked information.
The production versions of the OAI-ORE
specifications and implementation documents are
now available to the public, with a table of
contents page
at <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/toc>http://www.openarchives.org/ore/toc. This
public release is the culmination of several
months of testing and review of initial alpha
and beta releases. The participation and
feedback from the wider OAI-ORE community,
especially the OAI-ORE technical committee, was
instrumental to the process leading up to this
production release.
The documents in the release describe a data
model to introduce aggregations as resources
with URIs on the web. They also detail the
machine-readable descriptions of aggregations
expressed in the popular Atom syndication
format, in RDF/XML, and RDFa. The documents
