This document was part of a beta release and has been superseded.
Crawlers or harvesters must discover Resource Maps (ReMs) before the Aggregations described by them can be understood. ReMs can be discovered in any number of ways and this document discusses some of the recommended discovery mechanisms. Other discovery mechanisms may evolve over time and vary based on the practices of particular communities. This user guide is one of several documents comprising the OAI-ORE specification and user guide.

Resource Map (ReMs) discovery is a precondition of use. There is no single, best method for discovering ReMs. This document covers a variety of suggested ReM discovery mechanisms, grouped into the categories of: Batch Discovery, Resource Embedding and Proxy URIs; and examples are explored for each category. Additional categories and examples are expected to evolve over time.
The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [IETF RFC 2119].
Although this document speaks of discovering ReMs, there are scenarios where it is more natural to link to Aggregations (URI-A in [ORE Model]) thereby including all possible ReMs available from URI-A. Similarly, it is sometimes more natural to link to a specific Resource Map (URI-R) (see section 3.1 below). Because discovery is orthogonal to description, either strategy, including a combination of both, is acceptable despite the ORE Model not providing a relationship between Aggregated Resources and Resource Maps. However, because Aggregations are non-information resources, authors MUST NOT include MIME type information when linking to URI-A. In fact, it is possible for URI-A to return one of several MIME types when dereferenced. See [ORE HTTP] regarding the relationship between URI-A and URI-R and strategies for choosing their values.
Batch discovery exists so agents can discover ReMs en masse. Note that ReMs are not limited to describing Aggregations on the server where the ReMs reside. Although ReMs can be serialized in a number of formats, a popular serialization is the Atom Syndication Format [RFC4287]. Thus, in each section a table is provided to clearly map between concepts of identification and datestamps between the transport protocol/format, Atom ReM serialization [ReMs Using Atom], and the Abstract Data Model [ORE Model].
It is possible to define a new metadataPrefix
in the Open Archives
Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) [OAI-PMH]
that contains ReMs. For example, this OAI-PMH request:
http://www.foo.edu/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:foo.edu:object1&metadataPrefix=oai_rem_atom
Would yield this response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <OAI-PMH xmlns="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd"> <responseDate>2007-02-08T08:55:46Z</responseDate> <request verb="GetRecord" identifier="oai:foo.edu:object1" metadataPrefix="oai_rem_atom">http://foo.edu/oai2</request> <GetRecord> <record> <header> <identifier>oai:foo.edu:object1</identifier> <datestamp>2007-01-06</datestamp> </header> <metadata> <!-- Insert ReM here --> </metadata> </record> </GetRecord> </OAI-PMH>
Atom | ADM | |
---|---|---|
Identification | OAI-PMH record/header/identifier MUST NOT equal either ReM Atom /feed/id or /feed/link[@rel="self"]/@href |
OAI-PMH record/header/identifier MUST NOT equal either URI-R or URI-A |
Datestamp | OAI-PMH record/header/datestamp MUST be equal to ReM Atom /feed/updated |
OAI-PMH record/header/datestamp MUST be the object of the triple URI-R dcterms:modified "datetime" |
It is possible to construct a SiteMap [SiteMap] that consists of just ReMs, or possibly includes ReMs in its list of regular resources. For example, dereferencing this SiteMap URI:
http://www.foo.edu/sitemap-rem.xml
Would yield this response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>http://www.foo.edu/objects/object1.atom#aggregation</loc> <lastmod>2007-01-06</lastmod> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.foo.edu/objects/object2.atom#aggregation</loc> <lastmod>2007-08-11</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> </url> <url> <loc>http://www.foo.edu/objects/object3.atom#aggregation</loc> <lastmod>2007-03-15T18:30:02Z</lastmod> <priority>0.3</priority> </url> ... </urlset>
Note that SiteMaps have a URI path hierarchy limitation for the resources for which they can describe. For example, this SiteMap:
http://www.foo.edu/a/b/sitemap-rem.xml
Can list the Aggregations:
http://www.foo.edu/a/b/bar2.atom#aggregation
and
http://www.foo.edu/a/b/c/bar3.atom#aggregation
But not:
http://www.foo.edu/bar1.atom#aggregation
Atom | ADM | |
---|---|---|
Identification | SiteMap /urlset/url/loc MUST equal /feed/link[@rel="self"]/@href or /feed/id for the corresponding ReM or Aggregation |
SiteMap /urlset/url/loc MUST equal URI-R or URI-A for the corresponding ReM or Aggregation |
Datestamp | When present, SiteMap /urlset/url/lastmod MUST be equal to ReM Atom /feed/updated |
When present, SiteMap /urlset/url/lastmod MUST be equal to the object of the triple URI-R dcterms:modified "datetime" |
Even though ReMs can be serialized in the Atom Syndication Format, there is no reason preventing the use of syndication formats such as Atom or RSS [RSS] for ReM discovery. However, care must be taken to separate conceptually the Resource Map from the syndication file listing the Resource Maps. In particular, the id of an Atom entry listing the URI of a Resource Map MUST NOT be either URI-R or URI-A of the ReM or Aggregation the syndication file is making available for discovery. In other words, an explicit difference must be made between the Atom feed used for discovery and the Atom feed that is the ReM. For example, this Atom Feed:
http://www.foo.edu/all-rems.atom
When dereferenced would yield:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <title>ReMs at www.foo.edu</title> <link href="http://www.foo.edu/" /> <link href="http://www.foo.edu/all-rems.atom" rel="self"/> <updated>2007-08-15T18:30:02Z</updated> <author> <name>John Doe</name> <email>johndoe@foo.edu</email> </author> <id>urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b91C-0003939e0af6</id> <entry> <title>ReM For Object1</title> <link href="http://www.foo.org/objects/object1.atom#aggregation"/> <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id> <updated>2007-01-06T00:00:00Z</updated> </entry> <entry> <title>ReM For Object2</title> <link href="http://www.foo.org/objects/object2.atom#aggregation"/> <id>urn:uuid:9a2cc699-ccba-9e8b-132e-91da394e9a5c</id> <updated>2007-08-11T00:00:00Z</updated> </entry> <entry> <title>ReM For Object3</title> <link href="http://www.foo.org/objects/object3.atom#aggregation"/> <id>urn:uuid:5225c895-cab8-8ebb-baaa-90da9d4efa6b</id> <updated>2007-03-15T18:30:02Z</updated> </entry> </feed>

The same ReMs could be exposed via RSS 2.0. For example, this RSS feed:
http://www.foo.edu/all-rems.rss
When dereferenced would yield:

link
elements allow links to ReMs to be incorporated in
"regular" Atom Feeds as well. Consider an institutional repository
with the most recently accessioned scholarly eprints available at the
following Atom Feed:
http://library.foo.edu/repository/latest.atom
When dereferenced would yield:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <title>Latest Scholarly Eprints from Authors at www.foo.edu</title> <link href="http://library.foo.edu/repository/" /> <link href="http://library.foo.edu/repository/latest.atom" rel="self"/> <updated>2008-08-15T18:30:02Z</updated> <author> <name>John Q.

/feed/entry/link[@rel="alternate"]@href
elements and the corresponding ReMs are linked in the
/feed/entry/link[@rel="resourcemap"]@href
element
(The resourcemap
relation is introduced in section 3.1 below).
Resource Map Documents [ORE
Model] can be included as metadata records in
an OAI-PMH response. However, the OAI-PMH constructs
must be removed before the Resource Map representation can
be used as such. This has implications with respect
to embedding the Resource Map in a resource (discussed below). OAI-PMH repositories issue
OAI-PMH responses of MIME type text/xml
or application/xml
. These
OAI-PMH responses must be processed into ReM responses
(e.g., Atom Syndication Format and of MIME type
application/atom+xml
). We envision these kinds of
OAI-PMH to ReM
services taking an OAI-PMH GetRecord request as an argument,
such as:
http://some.gateway.org/pmh2ore?=http://foo.edu/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPefix=oai_rem_atom&identifier=oai:foo.edu:object1
OCLC has already developed one such service. It takes an OAI-PMH
GetRecord URI as an argument and strips out out the OAI-PMH
elements, leaving only the child element of the OAI-PMH's
<metadata>
element. For example, this
OAI-PMH GetRecord request:
http://alcme.oclc.org/oaicat/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:oaicat.oclc.org:2002/ocm11992160
When submitted as an argument to the OCLC service, produces just the
<oai_dc>
element:
http://purl.org/OAIUtil?getRecordURL=http://alcme.oclc.org/oaicat/OAIHandler?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:oaicat.oclc.org:2002/ocm11992160
The values of the OAI-PMH <responseDate>
and <request>
elements are retained as
HTTP response headers. The above example could also be combined
with syndication formats. For example, if a repository has its
ReMs in OAI-PMH, it could export the ReMs in an Atom Feed for
applications that are not OAI-PMH aware:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <title>ReMs at www.foo.edu</title> <link href="http://www.foo.edu/" /> <link href="http://www.foo.edu/all-rems.atom" rel="self"/> <updated>2007-08-15T18:30:02Z</updated> <author> <name>John Doe</name> <email>johndoe@foo.edu</email> </author> <id>urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b91C-0003939e0af6</id> <entry> <title>ReM For Object1</title> <link href="http://purl.org/OAIUtil?getRecordURL=http://foo.edu/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPefix=oai_rem_atom&identifier=oai:foo.edu:object1"/> <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id> <updated>2007-01-06T00:00:00Z</updated> </entry> <entry> <title>ReM For Object2</title> <link href="http://purl.org/OAIUtil?getRecordURL=http://foo.edu/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPefix=oai_rem_atom&identifier=oai:foo.edu:object1"/> <id>urn:uuid:9a2cc699-ccba-9e8b-132e-91da394e9a5c</id> <updated>2007-08-11T00:00:00Z</updated> </entry> <entry> <title>ReM For Object3</title> <link href="http://purl.org/OAIUtil?getRecordURL=http://foo.edu/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPefix=oai_rem_atom&identifier=oai:foo.edu:object1"/> <id>urn:uuid:5225c895-cab8-8ebb-baaa-90da9d4efa6b</id> <updated>2007-03-15T18:30:02Z</updated> </entry> </feed>
A common scenario for ReM discovery is for a human readable page in an Aggregation to link to its corresponding URI-A. This is most commonly accomplished using the HTML link element [HTML]. This can also be accomplished using the HTTP Link response header. Alternatively, the URI-A can be exposed as an opaque string for human agents to paste into ORE-aware utilities.
We also envision the future availability of browser utilities such as Mozilla plugins that detect the presence of corresponding ReMs when embedded in resources and help guide the user in the (re)use of the aggregated resources.
There are actually three different scenarios regarding Aggregated Resources and knowledge about their corresponding Aggregations:
Note that the above scenarios are relative to a particular ReM. It is possible for aggregated resources to simultaneously have full knowledge about one Aggregation (typically authored by the same creators of the resources) and have zero knowledge about third party Aggregations that aggregate the same resources.
The HTML link element can be used to direct agents from the
aggregated HTML file to a corresponding URI-A which identifies
the Aggregation that is aggregating the HTML file. This document
introduces the value of "resourcemap" for the rel
attribute to facilitate discovery of URI-R and URI-A values.
Below is an example of how an HTML page could link to a corresponding ReM. Assume we have an Aggregation of an HTML page ("hw.html") and two images ("hello.jpeg" and "world.jpeg"). A limited knowledge scenario for this Aggregation would be that the HTML file links to the ReM ("hw.atom") but the two images do not. The method for non-HTML Aggregated Resources linking to ReMs is described in section 3.2 below.
<html> <head> <title>Hello World.</title> <link href="http://example.net/hw.atom" type="application/atom+xml" rel="resourcemap" > </head> <body> <img src="hello.jpeg"> <img src="world.jpeg"> </body> </html>
In the above example, the HTML page links only to a single Aggregation. It could link to multiple Aggregations, in which case it is the responsibility of the agent to differentiate between the two Aggregations.
If you wish to facilitate users subscribing to an
Atom-based Resource Map in the same manner as a typical
Atom syndication feed, it is possible to use a single HTML
link element with the rules for Atom autodiscovery [AtomFeedAutodiscovery].
Since the rel
attribute takes a space separated list of
values, the necessary value of "alternate" can be combined
with "resourcemap" to inform the agent that the URI in the
href
attribute is both a Resource Map and may be desirable for
user subscription. Note that type
attribute is required to be
"application/atom+xml", which requires linking to a Resource
Map and not an Aggregation.
<html> <head> <title>Hello World.</title> <link rel="resourcemap alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://example.net/hw.atom" > </head> <body> <img src="hello.jpeg"> <img src="world.jpeg"> </body> </html>
It is also possible for an Aggregated Resource to link to multiple Resource Maps. In the example below, the HTML file links to two Resource Maps. It is up to the agent to verify the relationship (if any) between the Resource Maps. The Atom-based ReM retains the autodiscovery technique introduced above, but now an RDF/XML-based ReM is linked as well.
<html> <head> <title>Hello World.</title> <link rel="resourcemap alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://example.net/hw.atom" > <link rel="resourcemap" type="application/rdf+xml" href="http://example.net/hw.rdf" > </head> <body> <img src="hello.jpeg"> <img src="world.jpeg"> </body> </html>
It is also possible for an Aggregated Resource to link to
both Aggregations and Resource Maps. In the example below,
the HTML file links to the same two Resource Maps as above,
and one Aggregation. Note that rel="resourcemap"
is used regardless if it is linking to URI-A or URI-R. It is
up to the agent to verify the relationship (if any) between
the Resource Maps and Aggregations. Even though in the example
below it appears that URI-A is a "Cool URI" for the two URI-R
values, the agent in this example MUST dereference all the
URIs to establish if this Aggregated Resource is linking to 1,
2 or 3 different Aggregations. In other words, the URIs MUST
be considered opaque and relationships MUST NOT be inferred from
their values as strings.
<html> <head> <title>Hello World.</title> <link rel="resourcemap alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://example.net/hw.atom" > <link rel="resourcemap" type="application/rdf+xml" href="http://example.net/hw.rdf" > <link rel="resourcemap" href="http://example.net/hw" > </head> <body> <img src="hello.jpeg"> <img src="world.jpeg"> </body> </html>
For Resource Maps serializations where
the HTML carries additional semantics (i.e., microformats,
eRDF,
and RDFa),
it is RECOMMENDED that the HTML carry the following
values in the rel
attribute to facilitate discovery
techniques that are similar to the above examples:
<html> <head> <title>There is a ReM in This HTML...</title> <link rel="resourcemap self" href=""> </head> <body> <-- HTML + microformat ReM serialization --> </body> </html>
If we wish to have non-HTML resources link to their corresponding Aggregations, we cannot use the HTML link element. However, we can embed link to the URI(s) of the Aggregation(s) in the HTTP response.
The concept of a link HTTP response header existed in earlier versions of the HTTP protocol [RFC2068], but the lack of a compelling use case probably led to it being removed from the current HTTP specification. A recent Internet Draft proposes a method for converting HTML link element semantics into HTTP Link response headers [HTTP Header Linking]. Although this draft has yet to be promoted to an RFC, the approach is straightforward. If we wanted to promote the hello world example above from limited knowledge to full knowledge, the JPEGs could link to their corresponding Aggregation with the HTTP link response header. The example below shows an HTTP request and response with the Aggregation in a link header.
(request) HEAD http://www.example.net/hello.jpeg HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.net Connection: close (response) HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sat, 26 May 2007 22:43:10 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.0 Last-Modified: Sat, 26 May 2007 19:32:04 GMT ETag: "c3596-816-92123500" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 2070 Link: <http://example.net/hw.atom>; type="application/atom+xml"; rel="resourcemap" Content-Type: image/jpeg Connection: close
It may be possible to embed links to URI-A in non-HTML resources, such as PDF (e.g., via [Adobe XMP]) or images, but linking to ReMs with these methods is considered too preliminary to discuss at this time.
We propose exposing Aggregation URIs as opaque strings to facilitate future usage scenarios in which people copy and paste Aggregation URIs into applications such as blogs, forums or repository systems. This is commonly done with sites such as YouTube and Photobucket, and classified listings where strings are provided to the user to facilitate reuse (i.e., copy-n-paste) of the components in email, instant messaging systems, forums and HTML pages. We provide an example of how this could look for using an arXiv pre-print as an example.
The ORE Abstract Data Model [ORE Model] defines the concept of Proxies and Proxy URIs. The purpose of a Proxy is to unambiguously identify an Aggregated Resource in the context of a specific Aggregation. This is especially useful to identify a third party Aggregation for which an Aggregated Resource has zero knowledge. This is useful with regards to discovery because it links to a URI-A that the agent might not have previously discovered.
An http Proxy URI (URI-P) consists of a "baseURL" of a resolver,
URI-A and URI-AR. In the scenario below, we wish to include
the images and PDF in the typical manner while at the same time
informing ORE-aware clients of the particular Aggregation that
the author wishes to convey. Instead of linking directly to
URI-AR, we link to URI-P (note the required encoding of
#aggregation
as %23aggregation
).
<html> ... Here is a helpful reference for distinguishing <a href="http://oreproxy.org/r?what=http://example.org/pics/f-t.pdf&where=http://example.org/amphibians.atom%23aggregation"> frogs vs. toads</a>. <-- Instead of just http://example.org/pics/f-t.pdf --> <p> Here is a frog <img src="http://oreproxy.org/r?what=http://weluvfrogs.org/imgs/frog12.jpeg&where=http://frogs.org/frogs.atom%23aggregation"> <-- Instead of just http://weluvfrogs.org/imgs/frog12.jpeg --> and here is a toad <img src="http://oreproxy.org/r?what=http://toadsrule.org/toad.gif&where=http://toadsrule.org/toads.atom%23aggregation">. <-- Instead of just http://weluvfrogs.org/imgs/frog12.jpeg --> ... </html>
When a URI-P is dereferenced, the resolver issues an HTTP 303 Redirection ("See Other") to URI-AR and creates a HTTP Link response header containing URI-A. User agents such as browsers will be redirected to URI-AR which will produce the desired result (e.g., obtaining the Aggregated Resource). ORE-aware applications can discover the URI of the specific Aggregation by examining the HTTP response header. Further information regarding constructing and using Proxy URIs is given in [ORE HTTP].
