Omeka● Created by Center for History and New Media
(CHNM) at George Mason University● Same organization that developed Zotero● Open source● Strong community of use● Easy to use; designed for small institutions

● Web hosted ● Many core functions still intact● Free trial plan gives you 500MB of storage, 1 site, 8 plugins, and 2 themes● Fee options for more sites, plugins, and themes

A note on recent changes... ● Something is shifting at the CNMH● Corporation for Digital Scholarship formed in 2017 and it is providing hosted
services for Omeka and Zotero● Important to be aware of the challenges open source developers face but also
be aware of the possibility for change● Still open source for local hosting

Before You Begin● What is the purpose of your site? Catalogue or collection? Website? Outreach
website?● Who are your intended users?● What kind of materials do you have? ● What kind of metadata do you have?● Who will be creating the site? How many people will be involved?

Items: The Building Blocks Of Exhibits● Aggregation of metadata, files, and tags ● All of these are optional ● Recommend at least minimal metadata● Omeka accepts a lot of file types● SAVE OFTEN
![Page 13: Leslie Barnes, DIgital Scholarship Librarian, UTL Omeka 31 ... · Metadata: Dublin Core (DC) Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources Dublin, OH (not Ireland) 15 “core”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042921/5f6920a666be9a5f3c3debad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Metadata: Dublin Core (DC)● Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources● Dublin, OH (not Ireland)● 15 “core” elements● Intended to be less medium-specific than other standards (e.g. “Creator” not
“Author”)● How you use metadata in Omeka depends on your use case
![Page 14: Leslie Barnes, DIgital Scholarship Librarian, UTL Omeka 31 ... · Metadata: Dublin Core (DC) Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources Dublin, OH (not Ireland) 15 “core”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042921/5f6920a666be9a5f3c3debad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Item Types● Gives you greater flexibility with metadata
○ Especially useful if you are focused on creating a catalog
● Allows you to entirely do away with DC● You can create a setting in which DC elements that have nothing in them do
not appear
![Page 15: Leslie Barnes, DIgital Scholarship Librarian, UTL Omeka 31 ... · Metadata: Dublin Core (DC) Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources Dublin, OH (not Ireland) 15 “core”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042921/5f6920a666be9a5f3c3debad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Creating Collections● Very similar to creating items● DC metadata● Items can only belong to one collection
![Page 16: Leslie Barnes, DIgital Scholarship Librarian, UTL Omeka 31 ... · Metadata: Dublin Core (DC) Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources Dublin, OH (not Ireland) 15 “core”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042921/5f6920a666be9a5f3c3debad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Exhibits● Allow you to incorporate files and text to create lots of context● Basically web pages, but allow integration of exhibits● Think of the content blocks as modular pieces
○ When in doubt, make them small and “stack” them
![Page 17: Leslie Barnes, DIgital Scholarship Librarian, UTL Omeka 31 ... · Metadata: Dublin Core (DC) Developed by OCLC to describe digital resources Dublin, OH (not Ireland) 15 “core”](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042921/5f6920a666be9a5f3c3debad/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Simple Pages● Create simple webpages● Doesn’t allow you to use templates the same way as Exhibit Builder● You can still reference images--and either using HTML or shortcodes● Simple Pages don’t “link up” with Exhibits seamlessly, but you can link to them
