OEM means Original Equipment Manufacture. A OEM software cand be bought only with a hardware equipment and if you change that equipment the OEM license won't be valid anymore!
For example when you buy a DVD-RW drive, you usually get included a burning software with an OEM license. If you change the drive, you have to buy a new license for the software because the OEM one you were using will not be available anymore.
The RETAIL pack includes software that can be used on any kind of hardware!

The Object Exchange Model (OEM) is a model for exchanging data between object-oriented databases.
In an object oriented database, information is represented in the form of objects like those in object oriented programming. When you integrate database capabilities with object programming language capabilities, the result is an object database management system (ODBMS). An ODBMS makes database objects appear as programming language objects in one or more
object programming languages.
OEM Model
---------------------
An OEM object contains an object identifier, a descriptive textual label, a type and a value. In most cases, the object identifier is used only within a system implementation and remains hidden from an end user. A value may be atomic or complex. Atomic OEM values can be integers, reals, strings, images, video clips, sound clips, queries, programs, or any other data value that should be considered indivisible by the database. Types are always associated with atomic values, but the different types are not specific to OEM. A complex OEM value, on the other hand, is a collection of 0 or more OEM objects. The complex OEM object can be thought of as the parent of any number of OEM children objects. Note that a single OEM object may have multiple parent objects. With this simple recursive definition, we can build arbitrarily complex OEM networks to model relationships among data.
Slight variations of OEM have evolved across the different projects. In Lore, labels are actually on parent-child "links" rather than objects. Thus, if an OEM object does indeed have multiple parents, different parent objects may use different labels to identify that object. For example, an atomic value encoding a person�s name might be included in one complex object using the label "Author" and in another complex object using the label "Editor." In C3, additional attributes are required for each object to annotate the changes to the object that have occurred over time.
Graph terminology
-----------------------------
Object Exchange Model (OEM)in this context...
* original OEM used only node labels
* we use a variant in which the edges are labelled
* an OEM data graph is a rooted, labelled, directed graph
* its edge labels map to strings
* only its leaf nodes have labels which map to data values
* no ordering of edges leaving a node

Original Equipment Manufacturer.
If you own a GM and purchase an OEM replacement part, that means it's the same part the car originally had (the part GM used to build the car).

"Original Equipment Manufacturer" - meaning a manufacturing company.
This is opposed to "Distributor" which makes nothing but sells products made by the OEM.
