Is it a conductor whose temperature doesn't change when you increase the current through it, or a conductor whose resistance is constant provided its temperature doesn't change?

I've seen it defined both ways before and am confused.

    $\begingroup$ Could you be mixing resistance and conductor? $\endgroup$

An ohmic conductor is a conductor that obeys Ohm's law. That's all. Ohm's law are expressed as following: $$ V = RI $$

That's simple like that.
