== 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.
