'''The [[Open Archives Initiative]] '''Object Reuse and Exchange''' (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of [[Webweb resource]]s. The OAI-ORE specification implements the '''ORE Model''' which introduces the [[Resourceresource Mapmap]] (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 2006-2008.<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."
