ORE User Guide - Resource Map Implementation in JSON-LD 0.9

Open Archives Initiative Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) defines standards for the description and exchange of aggregations of Web resources. OAI-ORE introduces the notion of a Resource Map, an RDF Graph which describes the Aggregation, the aggregated Resources of which it is composed, and the relationships between them (and/or the relationships between these and other resources).

Since a Resource Map is an RDF Graph, it can be serialized using any RDF syntax. This document outlines the use of one such syntax for the serialization of Resource Maps: JSON-LD.

This document is intended for implementers who have an understanding of ORE concepts and are responsible for the development of applications which generate or process Resource Maps using JSON-LD.
