ORE WordPress Plug-in
OAI-ORE Resource Map is a WordPress plug-in implementing the 1.0 version of the Open Archives Initiative's Object Reuse and Exchange specification for resource maps, which aggregate a number of related resources. In this case, the resources are WordPress posts and pages. In addition, an HTML link header is added to WordPress's headers for auto-discovery purposes.
The resource map is a profile of the Atom Syndication Format (rfc4287), which maps to RDF via GRDDL.

Hi Mike, Hoping it is ok if I add your blog feed to the CRIG planet aggregator: http://feeds.feedburner.com/jisc-crig <– it pull any posts with repository or other like minded words.
It would be really nice if this could add images etc that are stored in the uploads directory to the aggregation for a post.
@Peter
I hear you. Enhancing the ORE plug-in so that it wraps embedded media and hyperlinks is in fact on my to-do list. Although it's been there for a couple of months already.
I do accept patches if you are inclined to tinker with WordPress plug-ins.
Thanks a bunch for the suggestion and the interest. The plug-in in its current form is only minimally useful. I'm glad we seem to agree on what the next steps are for making this more so.

Hi,
Any news on this plug-in for the production versions (v1.0) of the OAI-ORE ?
No news for a while, Are you going to support this plug-in in the future?
@xtofe
There are a number of features I'd like to add, but I don't know how much time I'll have. If you're interested in working on the code, I can get you access to the svn instance up at wp-plugins.org.
Hi,
Indeed, I'm not an expert. However, if you provide a plug-in compatible with WP 2.7.1, I could give it a try and add something to it.
@Xtofe
Does the plug-in not work with 2.7.1? It seems to be installed and working for me.
Thanks.
@Xtofe
The 0.9.5 version of the plug-in now supports OAI-ORE 1.0.
Feedback is welcomed.
You have some great plugins on your post. Your insight and expertise would be a welcome addition to our new community, i hope you will consider joining, and thanks for sharing!
