Fortunately, we have online encyclopedias which are storing a lot of knowledge. This is from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle Quote:

In Classical Antiquity, an oracle was a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion, predictions or precognition of the future, inspired by the gods. As such it is a form of divination.

Well based on what I know about the term, I think they are a group of individuals that functions as the core of a bigger group.

Usually this core oracle group is the source of decisions and information that would make the other components work.

Pretty much how a database functions in a system as the repository and storage of data. it really is fascinating to find out the parallelism.
