[edit] construction of orientation class

An orientation of E amounts to a continuous choice of generator of the cohomology

H^r(F, F \setminus F_0; \mathbb{Z})

of each fiber F relative to the complement F \setminus F_0 to its zero element F0.

Would somebody mind elaborating, how to get this relative cohomology class? Thanks, Jack
