OAI Object Re-Use and Exchange
• A core goal of OAI-ORE is to develop standardized, interoperable, and machine-readable mechanisms by which individual repositories can map and thereby expose compound objects to the Web.
• These mechanisms will allow Web applications to reconstruct:
o The boundaries of compound objectso The relationships among their internal componentso Their relationship to other resources on the Web

OAI Object Re-Use and Exchange
• Develop, identify, and profile extensible standards and protocols to allow repositories, agents, and services to interoperate in the context of use and reuse of compound digital objects beyond the boundaries of the holding repositories.
• Aim for more effective and consistent ways:o to facilitate discovery of these objects, o to reference (link to) these objects (and parts thereof),o to obtain a variety of disseminations of these objects, o to aggregate and disaggregate these objects,o Enable processing by automated agents
