Introducing Omeka for
Digital Projects
ADHC Workshop – October 3, 2012
Steven L. MacCall, PhD
Associate Professor
School of Library and Information Studies
University of Alabama
What is Omeka?
• Open source software (IOW, free like puppies)
• Center for History and New Media @ George
Mason University
• Follows “industry” standards including
– Metadata Input - Dublin Core
– Data Sharing - OAI-PMH
– Copyright - Creative Commons
What is Omeka? (cont)
• Database driven
– “Out of the box” functionality
– Extendable with plugins
• Choice for hosting
– On local server either by UA department or OIT
– In the cloud using Omeka.net hosting service ($$)
• Digital library composed of
– Digital repository
– Digital collections
– Digital exhibitions
Omeka is a Digital Repository
• Database for digital assets
• Default data design is Dublin Core, which can
be enhanced by metadata input plugins
• Processing records after digitization
– Through data entry interface
– Batch upload - CSV Import plugin
• Example of local Omeka project for SLIS
metadata education (indexing wiki)
Omeka Provides for Digital Collections
• Collections allow for the aggregating of items
into logical sets according to a criterion
– Donator
– Format
– Etc
• Example of omeka.net hosted Omeka project
for the local Tuscaloosa Area Virtual Museum
project (indexing wiki)
Omeka Provides for Digital Exhibitions
• Suitable for 3rd party authors/creators and
others who want to produce scholarship as a
result of research using the your repository
– Textual narration
– Items linked directly from repository
– Links to external content
• Example of Omeka project that has built
exhibits
Neatline: New Era for Exhibitions
• Plugin that creates exhibits based on item
geotemporal metadata, maps, and narration
• Based on Geoserver
– An open-source geospatial server that pipes
georeferenced historical maps into Neatline exhibits
– Start with high resolution image (map or aerial photo)
– Process of assigning geographic coordinates to static
image file (called “georeferencing” or “georectifying”)
• Workflow here.
Conclusion
• No cost software, but requires experienced
webserver administrator to manage
– Installation of database driven repository software
– Installation of plugins for user activation
– We have campus precedent for dept. and OIT hosting
• Beware ongoing compatibility problems with
plugins as Omeka core software evolves
– Challenge for any open source, plugin-driven software
– Will improve as more plugins are incorporated into core
