{{Short description|Archival standards}}
The [[Open Archives Initiative]] '''Object Reuse and Exchange''' (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of [[web resource]]s. The OAI-ORE specification implements 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.
 
These aggregations (sometimes called ''[[compound digital object]]s'' or ''compound information objects'') may combine distributed resources together, and 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, [[Information visualization|visualization]], reuse, and [[digital preservation|preservation]].
 
The [[Andrew W. Mellon Foundation]] funded two years of work on the OAI-ORE project in 2006-20082006–2008.<ref>[http://www.openarchives.org/ore/documents/MellonProposalwithoutbudget.pdf Andrew Mellon Foundation: Repositories Interoperability Framework: Augmenting Interoperability across Scholarly Repositories]</ref> Version 1.0 of the specification was released on 17 October 2008.<ref>"Open Archives Initiative Announces Production Release of Object Reuse and Exchange Specifications."

== Introduction ==
The ORE standard is concerned with the description of aggregations of web resources. It defines 4 entities:
* the Aggregation itself, identified by its [[URI]] but without any corresponding concrete resource. It is a conceptual resource. Being uniquely identified it can enter into relationships with other resources, in particular aggregations of aggregationaggregations become possible.
* the Aggregated Resource: any resource part of an aggregation, identified by its URI
* the Resource Map: a resource describing an aggregation based on a set of assertions. A mandatory assertion indicates which aggregation the Resource Map itself is describing. Other assertions indicate the aggregated resource(s). Certain metadata are mandatory as well, such as the map creator. [[Dublin Core]] terms are used for this purpose.
