Object Reuse and Exchange
Open Archives Initiative -> ORE
- ORE Challenge at RepoCamp
There will be a cash prize of $2000, sponsored by Microsoft Research, for the the best prototype that uses and promotes OAI-ORE. Prototypes should surface OAI-ORE functionality at the end-user level (e.g. in a browser) and the more potential the prototype has to promote ORE within and beyond the repository community the better! Submission deadline is 8th August and you do not have to attend RepoCamp to enter. See the announcement and the RepoCamp website for details. - Foresite OAI-ORE Libraries
The Foresite project is pleased to announce the initial code of two software libraries for constructing, parsing, manipulating and serialising OAI-ORE Resource Maps. These libraries are being written in Java and Python, and can be used generically to provide advanced functionality to OAI-ORE aware applications. The software is open source, released under a BSD licence, and is available from a Google Code repository. - June 2 Beta Release of OAI-ORE Specifications
The release includes user guides and specifications describing the ORE Data Model, ATOM and RDF serializations, vocabulary, and discovery mechanisms. It also includes a Primer, which serves as an introduction to the other documents. The release builds on feedback to previous alpha releases. Please use the ORE Google Group for discussion and critique of these documents. - April 4 OAI-ORE Roll-out at OR2008
A meeting was held on April 4, 2008 at the Open Repositories 2008 meeting at the University of Southampton to roll-out the third alpha release of the OAI-ORE specifications. These specifications describe a data model to identify and describe aggregations of web resources, and the encoding of the data model in the XML-based Atom syndication format. - March 3 OAI-ORE Roll-out at Johns Hopkins
A meeting was held on March 3, 2008 at Johns Hopkins University to roll-out the second alpha release of the OAI-ORE specifications. These specifications describe a data model to identify and describe aggregations of web resources, and the encoding of the data model in the XML-based Atom syndication format. - Proposal

Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. These aggregations, sometimes called compound digital objects, may combine distributed resources with multiple media types including text, images, data, and video. The goal of these standards is to expose the rich content in these aggregations to applications that support authoring, deposit, exchange, visualization, reuse, and preservation. Although a motivating use case for the work is the changing nature of scholarship and scholarly communication, and the need for cyberinfrastructure to support that scholarship, the intent of the effort is to develop standards that generalize across all web-based information including the increasing popular social networks of “web 2.0”.
