Collection of files, mainly in XML format. OEB stands for Open E-Book ... and used to be at
www.openebook.org, but is now at
www.idpf.org (International Digital Publishing Forum).
The document container that's based on ZIP archive structure carries the .epub extension (still only proposal). The so-called file-container seems to be an plain file structure, the 'top' file of which seems to be found by locating a META-INF/container.xml file and interpreting it ... but all examples I have seen so far use .opf as extension, so that may be a second method.
The container specification is still, I think, being drafted: it was recently posted for public comment at
www.idpf.org .
