Classes
AggregatedResource
Label: Aggregated Resource
Comment: A resource which is included in an Aggregation. Note that asserting that a resource is a member of the class of Aggregated Resources does not imply anything other than that it is aggregated by at least one Aggregation.
Subclass of:
Properties:
isAggregatedBy
Aggregation
Label: Aggregation
Comment: A set of related resources (Aggregated Resources), grouped together such that the set can be treated as a single resource. This is the entity described within the ORE interoperability framework by a Resource Map.

Proxy
Label: Proxy
Comment: A Proxy represents an Aggregated Resource as it exists in a specific Aggregation. All assertions made about an entity are globally true, not only within the context of the Aggregation. As such, in order to make assertions which are only true of a resource as it exists in an Aggregation, a Proxy object is required. For example, one might want to cite an article as it appears in a specific journal, or assign aggregation-specific metadata to a Resource.

ResourceMap
Label: Resource Map
Comment: A description of an Aggregation according to the OAI-ORE data model. Resource Maps are serialised to a machine readable format according to the implementation guidelines.
Subclass of:
Properties:

Properties
aggregates
Type: Property
Label: Aggregates
Comment: Aggregations, by definition, aggregate resources. The ore:aggregates relationship expresses that the object resource is a member of the set of Aggregated Resources of the subject (the Aggregation). This relationship between the Aggregation and its Aggregated Resources is thus more specific than a simple part/whole relationship, as expressed by dcterms:hasPart for example.
Used in classes:
Aggregation
Value: AggregatedResource
describes
Type: Property
Label: Describes
Comment: This relationship asserts that the subject (a Resource Map) describes the object (an Aggregation).
Used in classes:
ResourceMap
Value: Aggregation
isAggregatedBy
Type: Property
Label: Is Aggregated By
Comment: The inverse relationship of ore:aggregates, ore:isAggregatedBy asserts that an Aggregated Resource is aggregated by an Aggregation.
Used in classes:
AggregatedResource
Value: Aggregation
isDescribedBy
Type: Property
Label: Is Described By
Comment: The inverse relationship of ore:describes, in this case the object of the relationship is the Resource Map and the subject is the Aggregation which it describes.
Used in classes:
Aggregation
Value: ResourceMap
lineage
Type: Property
Label: Lineage
Comment: ore:lineage is a relationship between two Proxy objects, both of which MUST have the same Resource for which they are proxies. The meaning is that the Resource for which the subject of the relationship is a Proxy was discovered in the Aggregation in which the object Proxy's resource is aggregated.
Used in classes:
Proxy
Value: Proxy
proxyFor
Type: Property
Label: Proxy For
Comment: Proxy objects are used to represent a Resource as it is aggregated in a particular Aggregation. The ore:proxyFor relationship is used to link the proxy to the Aggregated Resource it is a proxy for. The subject of the relationship is a Proxy object, and the object of the relationship is the Aggregated Resource.
Used in classes:
Proxy
Value: AggregatedResource
proxyIn
Type: Property
Label: Proxy In
Comment: Proxy objects must link to the Aggregation in which the resource being proxied is aggregated. The ore:proxyIn relationship is used for this purpose. The subject of the relationship is a Proxy object, and the object of the relationship is the Aggregation.
Used in classes:
Proxy
Value: Aggregation
similarTo
Type: Property
Label: Similar To
Comment: The subject of this relationship MUST be an Aggregation. This Aggregation should be considered an expression within the ORE context of the object of the relationship, as it is broadly equivalent to the resource. For example, the Aggregation may consist of the resources which, together, make up a journal article which has a DOI assigned to it. The Aggregation is not the article to which the DOI was assigned, but is a representation of it in some manner.
Used in classes:
Aggregation
Value: Unspecified
