Adding eScience Assets to the Data Web

"Aggregations of Web resources are increasingly important in scholarship as it adopts new methods that are data-centric, collaborative, and networked-based. The same notion of aggregations of resources is common to the mashed-up, socially networked information environment of Web 2.0. We present a mechanism to identify and describe aggregations of Web resources that has resulted from the Open Archives Initiative - Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) project. The OAI-ORE specifications are based on the principles of the Architecture of the World Wide Web, the Semantic Web, and the Linked Data effort. Therefore, their incorporation into the cyberinfrastructure that supports eScholarship will ensure the integration of the products of scholarly research into the Data Web."

(déposé sur arXiv, 05/11/08)

"Work in the Open Archives Initiative - Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) focuses on an important aspect of infrastructure for eScience: the specification of the data model and a suite of implementation standards to identify and describe compound objects. These are objects that aggregate multiple sources of content including text, images, data, visualization tools, and the like. These aggregations are an essential product of eScience, and will become increasingly common in the age of data-driven scholarship. The OAI-ORE specifications conform to the core concepts of the Web architecture and the semantic Web, ensuring that applications that use them will integrate well into the general Web environment."

Version 1.0 Production OAI Object Reuse and Exchange Specifications

Communiqué de presse

"Over the past two years the Open Archives Initiative (OAI), in a project called 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. 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."

Sur la liste OAI-ORE, un message de H. Van de Sompel indique que suite à divers feedback des utilisateurs potentiels du modèle et à des discussions, une révision de l'ORE Atom serialization est à envisager.

Message original:
As a result of feedback that was provided over the past few weeks, both via this list, in private communications, and via the blogosphere, we have made a bold move to compile a Discussion Document that outlines a proposal for a significantly different ORE Atom serialization.
The Discussion Document is at <http://www.openarchives.org/ore/documents/atom_revision_2...>.
We understand this proposal comes very late in the ORE process that is expected to deliver 1.0 specification by the end of September 2008. Your feedback to this proposal is absolutely crucial. Please use the ORE Google Group to share your insights.

La communauté OAI-ORE dispose désormais d'un wiki.

"This wiki is for collaborative discussion and editing of ORE related documents, including examples, recommended best practices, discussion of tools, code libraries and anything else informative or useful."

Le guide d'utilisation et les spécifications d'OAI-ORE (OAI Object Reuse and Exchange) sont disponibles.

Un groupe de discussion Google a été créé pour animer les débats sur la question et ces documents.

Via Antoinette (message de Lagoze et Van de Sompel sur la liste OAI-implementers)

On se rappelle le lancement du projet ORE en octobre 2006. Carl Lagoze et Herbert Van de Sompel exposent dans le document intitulé Compound Information Objects: The OAI-ORE Perspective leur vision des "objets informatifs composites ou combinés" (compound information objects).
