ThispaperpresentsLORE(LiteratureObjectRe‐useandExchange),alight‐weighttooldesignedto enable scholars and teachers of literature to author, edit and publish OAI‐ORE‐compliantcompound informationobjects that encapsulate relateddigital resources andbibliographic re‐cords.LOREprovidesagraphicaluserinterfaceforcreating,labellingandvisualizingtypedrela‐tionships between individual objects using terms from a bibliographic ontology based on theIFLAFRBR.Aftercreatingacompoundobject,userscanattachmetadataandpublishittoare‐pository (as anRDFgraph)where it canbe searched, retrieved, editedand re‐usedbyothers.LOREhasbeendevelopedinthecontextoftheAustralianLiteratureResourceproject(AustLit)andhencefocusesoncompoundobjectsforteachingandresearchwithintheAustralianliterarystudiescommunity.However itcaneasilybe tailoredtosupport thecreationofcompoundob‐jectsforliteraryandbibliographicresearchmoregenerally.

Withinthedisciplineofliteratureresearchandteaching,theabilitytorelatedisparatedigitalre‐sourcesinastandardized,machine‐readableformathasthepotentialtoaddsignificantvaluetodistributedcollectionsofliteraryresources.Suchcompoundobjectscanbeusedtotracktheli‐neage of derivativeworkswhich are based on a common concept, to relate objects around acommontheme,ortoencapsulaterelateddigitalresourcesforteachingpurposes.Forexample,onemightwanttorelatetheoriginaleditionofFollowtheRabbit­ProofFencetothe illustratededition,aradiorecordingandadigitalversionofthefilm–andtoretrieveandpresentthesere‐sources,withtheirrelationshipsvisualized,regardlessoftheirlocation.Ourobjectiveistopro‐vide a software tool to enable suchencapsulation and subsequent re‐use andvisualization, bybuildingontheeffortsoftwopreviousdigitallibraryinitiatives:

• TheIFLAFunctionalRequirementsforBibliographicRecords(IFLA,1998)

• TheOAI‐ObjectReuseandExchange(OAI,2008)

FRBR isarecommendationof the InternationalFederationofLibraryAssociationsandInstitu‐tions(IFLA)torestructurecataloguedatabasestoreflecttheconceptualstructureofinformationresources.Itusesanentity‐relationshipmodelofmetadataforbibliographicresourcesthatsup‐ports four levels of representation:work, expression,manifestation and item. It also supportsthreegroupsofentities:productsofintellectualorartisticendeavour(publications);entitiesre‐sponsibleforintellectualorartisticcontent(apersonororganisation);andentitiesthatserveassubjectsofintellectualorartisticendeavour(concept,object,event,andplace).

TheOpenArchivesInitiativeObjectReuseandExchange(OAI‐ORE)isaninternationalcollabora‐tiveinitiative,focusingonaframeworkfortheexchangeofinformationaboutDigitalObjectsbe‐tween cooperating repositories, registries and services.OAI‐OREaims to support the creation,managementanddisseminationofthenewformsofcompositedigitalresourcesbeingproducedbyeResearchandtomaketheinformationwithintheseobjectsdiscoverable,machine‐readable,interoperableandreusable.ResourceMapsandtheircomponentresourcesareallwebresourceswhichcanbe identifiedandunambiguouslyreferencedbyHTTPURIhandles, thusprovidingabasisforreuseandexchange.NamedGraphs(Jeremyetal,2005)areendorsedbytheOAI‐OREinitiative as a means of publishing compound digital objects that clearly states their logicalboundaries (Lagoze,2007). Theydo this inaway that isdiscipline‐independent,but thatalsoprovideshookstoincluderichsemantics,metadata,ontologiesandrules.InthetermsoftheOAI‐ORE,compoundobjectscorrespond toOREAggregations, and theNamedGraphs thatdescribethemtoOREResourceMaps.

OurhypothesisisthatOAI­OREResourceMapsprovidetheidealmechanismforrepresentingliter­arycompoundobjectsthatencapsulatetheentitiesandrelationshipsexpressedbytheIFLAFRBR.Totestourhypothesis,weareworkingwiththeAustralianliteraturestudiescommunitythroughAustLit,aspartoftheAus‐e‐Litproject.

2Objectives

AustLitisacollaborationledbytheUniversityofQueensland,betweentwelveAustralianuniver‐sities,theNationalLibraryofAustraliaandtheAustralianResearchCouncil.ItprovidesthepeakresourceofbibliographicdataforscholarsundertakingresearchintoAustralianliteraryheritageand print culture. Within AustLit, research activities are undertaken by communities of re‐searchersfocusingonparticulartopics,regions,genresorofotherspecialinterests.AustLitcur‐rently supports sixteen different research communities, includingBlackWords, Children’s Lit‐erature,ExpatriateandPopularFiction.

TheAustLitdatamodelisbasedontheIFLAFRBR(Kilner,2005),makingitidealforevaluatingLORE. Figure 1 shows anAustLitwork recordwith correspondences to FRBR entities.WithinAustLit,eachworkrecordpresentsinformationrelatingtoaFRBRWork.ThetermsversionandpublicationareusedinterchangeablywithFRBR’sExpressionandManifestation.AustLitdoesnotrecordanydetailsaboutItems.

Alternatively, allowing users to typeahead,and tohave theUIonlyshowmatching termsmaybeeffective.Otherstrategies forad‐dressingthisissuecouldincludeaddingmoresemanticcheckstotheUItoassistusersinapply‐ing theontology terms,or tailoring thedomainontologiesbasedoncommunityneedsandun‐derstanding. Enabling discovery of additional ontologies via a metadata schema registry mayalsoassistindividualuserstolocateexistingontologiesthatbettersuittheirneeds.

OREResourceMapsmayaggregateconceptsornon‐informationentities(asopposedtoinforma‐tionresources)providedtheyfollowtheprinciplesoflinkeddata,i.e.thattheyareaccessibleonthewebviadereferenceableURIs.WhenusingLOREtorelatethingslikeWorks,Agentsorotherabstract concepts from the AustLit thesaurus, the AustLit record and thesaurus pages can beconsideredtobeproxiesfortheunderlyingobjects.However,ExpressionsandManifestationsaredisplayedontheWebonlywithinthecontextofaWorkrecordpage,makingitdifficultforuserstoattachmetadataorrelationshipstothoseobjects.Also,becauseLOREusestheURIdisplayedinthebrowseraddressbar, it isalsopossibletoaggregateresourceswithessentiallythesamecontent via different URIs.
