Omeka Omeka is opensource – that means there is
no cost to use the software However, we may decide to purchase
software to extend it and make it EVEN MORE useful
Omeka will be hosted on our servers on webspace
For now (TESTING purposes), we will use the athenstech.edu domain
A brief interlude…
Omeka
Webspace (Portal + Repository; Database; files of learning objects • Admin of webspace/some
server tools (PHP, statistics, etc)
• Sets up repository software, website, and user roles for portal
• Identifies and loads content
Server Administration NICK’s magic
• Sets up Cpanel • Sets us server
software• Sets permissions• Points
athenstech.edu domain space to portal server
Power users (testers, those who need additional access) upload, edit,
delete (maybe), statistics, set up users(maybe)
Contributors – can upload & edit; login

Neatline (Timeline) ? LC Suggest (Suggest
topics/subjects/keywords) Item Order (customize order of items) Collection Tree (create more of a hierarchy) Commenting Geolocation (maybe for some of Jenny's
stuff?) Reports and Barcodes - can generate QR
codes of item in PDFs CSV Import (Excel ? of any use)
Omeka
Demo Discussion points/followup:
Omeka vs. Fedora Organization (Taxonomy) – how to create
collections? By topic, by format? Zip files – is there a way to create an
embedded viewer? What does Merlot do? Customizing the upload form Removing DC terminology (we will use DC) Procedures/process – guidance about
describing items Thumbnails for nongraphical items? File limits Google analytics
