Release of Version 1.0 Production OAI Object Reuse and Exchange Specifications
Carl Lagoze
(The full copy of this Press Release is at http://www.openarchives.org/documents/ore-production-press-release.pdf )
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.
The documents in the release describe a data model to introduce aggregations as resources with URIs on the web. They also detail the machine-readable descriptions of aggregations expressed in the popular Atom syndication format, in RDF/XML, and RDFa. The documents included in the release are:
· ORE User Guide Documents
o Primer
o Resource Map Implementation in Atom
o Resource Map Implementation in RDF/XML
o Resource Map Implementation in RDFa
· ORE Specification Documents
· Tools and Additional Resources

Is there a machine readable version of the vocabulary? By this I mean
an RDF resource associated with a de-referencable URI that provides an
RDFS or OWL representation of the vocabulary/schema. So far in my
attempts to get a machine oriented representation I get a 406 as per:
curl -I -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://www.openarchives.org/ore/1.0/vocabulary
HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable

The "namespace document" is
http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/
which returns RDF/XML for me.
At the moment, I don't think there is content negotiation in place to
serve an HTML version, but it's probably something we should look at
doing.

Try
http://www.openarchives.org/ore/terms/
for the vocab document for the .../ore/terms/ namespace. The other URIs
you have used are for the user guide documents.
Cheers,
Simeon
