What is OMEKA
“Omeka is a free, open source content management system for online digital collections.[1] As
a web application, it allows users to publish[2] and exhibit cultural heritage objects, and extend its
functionality with themes and plugins. A lightweight solution[3] in comparison to
traditional institutional repository software like DSpace and Fedora, Omeka has a focus on
display and uses an unqualified Dublin Core metadata standard”.

DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 24
Prepare items for Upload
Access vs Preservation.
Preprocessing
Media Files Recommendations:
◦ Videos:
◦ mp4 is the best supported across browsers and platforms
◦ ogg is not well supported on mobiles, on IE and Safari.
◦ Audios:
◦ .mp3 compressed audio with wide support
◦ .mp4 container => .m4a
◦ File formats which result in a download link, rather than an embedded playback, include:
◦ Video: avi, wmv
◦ Audio: aiff (except Safari), midi, wma
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 25
Reformatting tools
Open source tools:
◦ For resizing images (batch): GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/ + Bimp plugin for batch processing.
◦ For audio and video: HandBrake : https://handbrake.fr/
Size recommendations:
Image : 190-500 Kb
Audio and Video: Maximum 10 Mb.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 26
Metadata
Metadata is the data used to aid the identification, description and location of your items.
Spend time thinking about the metadata you want to include with your object in advance.
Think about your audience and what kind of data will be useful to them when searching for your
items.
Be consistent across your site:
 If by “date” you mean creation date, keep it this way for all your items.
 If you choose to put author name last, first keep it this way for all of your items.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 27
Omeka and Metadata
Characteristics of Dublin Core:
 Simplicity
 Interoperability
 International Consensus
 Extensibility
 Metadata Modularity on the Web
• DC elements are optional
• DC elements may be repeated
• Mapping from other schemas
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 28
Collections
Collections are "buckets" that will store your items together in one
place and allow you to find them quickly.
Create your collections
Assign your items to the available collections
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 29
Exercise 1
1. Download gimp and Bimp to resize your images.
2. Download handbrake to resize audios and videos.
3. Upload your items to Dropbox.
4. Get the url for each item by sharing and copying the shareable link.
5. Replace the 0 at the end of the link with 1 do get direct access to the item.
6. Create an excel sheet and start describing your data (metadata):
Item Title | Description| Author| Publisher | Date| Type| Size | Rights |Keywords| URL
7. Save you sheet in csv (comma delimited) format.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 30
Plugins
Plugins are tools to extend the
basic functionality of Omeka.
Omeka.net has 15 free plugins.
 You will install and configure
each one, uninstall and deactivate
it.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 31
Plugins: CSV Import
 Available for all plans
 Import items from a simple csv file
 Map the csv columns data to elements, files or tags.
 Each row in the file represents metadata for a single
item
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 32
Exercise 2
1. Install CSV Import
2. Upload the csv file you
created earlier.
3. Do not tick “Automate
Column Names to Elements”
unless your elements are
Dublin Core.
4. Do not tick “Select Item
Type” unless all of your items
have the same type: i.e. all
are still images.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 33
Exercise 2 (continued)
6. Map your elements to Dublin Core
schema.
7. The url field cannot be mapped,
tick “file” in third column.
8. If you have a tag element, it cannot
also be mapped, tick “tag” in second
column.
9. HTML column is ticked only when
you want to change the font or size of
your elements. We do not usually do
that, so no need to tick it.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 34
Plugin: CoinS
The COinS plugin embeds citation metadata into the pages of your Omeka.net site for each item.
When activated, the COinS plugin makes your items viewable to certain online bibliographic
tools such as Zotero by automatically embedding citation metadata in your website.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 35
Plugin: Simple Pages
Allows you to easily create web pages for your public site using a
simple form.
Requires no programming knowledge
Allows users to add basic HTML markup.
Allow to create simple subpages under pages and re-order them.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 36
Online Collections vs Exhibitions
“What separates and exhibition from a collection is that an
exhibition has a tight connection that is vital; otherwise, a
virtual exhibition will “amount to little more than
disorganized and decontextualized digital collections”
(Silver 1997, 826).
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 37
Exhibition
It starts with an idea:
Anniversaries of births, deaths, or significant events in people’s lives
Notable events in the life of an institution or region
Specific materials from a certain collections or subcollections
Treasures
Work done by various departments of the library, archives or other departments of the
institution.
Each of the ideas above can be tailored and focused to reflect the strengths of your individual
library or archive.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 38
Planning
Sticky notes are a
great way to visualize
your ideas
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 39
Concept Diagram
Draft concept diagram for a possible
exhibition about sharks. Sticky notes
more rearranged to determine a more
organized system with logic trails and
connectors between each idea.

DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 40
Plugin: Exhibit
Install Exhibit builder plugin.
This is the exhibit structure:
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 41
Plugin: Social Bookmarking
The Social Bookmarking plugin inserts a customizable list of social networking
sites below each item or collection in your Omeka.net site
Activate the Plugin
Configure it : Item or Page Level.
Choose the social media you want display.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 42
Plugin: Reports
The Reports and Bar Codes plugin allows users to generate a report
list of items in HTML or a PDF with QR-style bar codes associated
with select items.
A report is a named set of items of your choice.
 You can create reports that encompass all items in the system, or
choose to report on one specific item, one collection, or by a search
term.
Reports will automatically update as new items are added to
Omeka.
DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 43
Publicizing your site
Does not show in google search.
Google needs to find it to index it.
Site needs to be linked from other pages (i.e. library page) known by
google.

DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 24
  • 25. Prepare items for Upload Access vs Preservation. Preprocessing Media Files Recommendations: ◦ Videos: ◦ mp4 is the best supported across browsers and platforms ◦ ogg is not well supported on mobiles, on IE and Safari. ◦ Audios: ◦ .mp3 compressed audio with wide support ◦ .mp4 container => .m4a ◦ File formats which result in a download link, rather than an embedded playback, include: ◦ Video: avi, wmv ◦ Audio: aiff (except Safari), midi, wma DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 25
  • 26. Reformatting tools Open source tools: ◦ For resizing images (batch): GIMP: https://www.gimp.org/ + Bimp plugin for batch processing. ◦ For audio and video: HandBrake : https://handbrake.fr/ Size recommendations: Image : 190-500 Kb Audio and Video: Maximum 10 Mb. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 26
  • 27. Metadata Metadata is the data used to aid the identification, description and location of your items. Spend time thinking about the metadata you want to include with your object in advance. Think about your audience and what kind of data will be useful to them when searching for your items. Be consistent across your site:  If by “date” you mean creation date, keep it this way for all your items.  If you choose to put author name last, first keep it this way for all of your items. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 27
  • 28. Omeka and Metadata Characteristics of Dublin Core:  Simplicity  Interoperability  International Consensus  Extensibility  Metadata Modularity on the Web • DC elements are optional • DC elements may be repeated • Mapping from other schemas DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 28
  • 29. Collections Collections are "buckets" that will store your items together in one place and allow you to find them quickly. Create your collections Assign your items to the available collections DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 29
  • 30. Exercise 1 1. Download gimp and Bimp to resize your images. 2. Download handbrake to resize audios and videos. 3. Upload your items to Dropbox. 4. Get the url for each item by sharing and copying the shareable link. 5. Replace the 0 at the end of the link with 1 do get direct access to the item. 6. Create an excel sheet and start describing your data (metadata): Item Title | Description| Author| Publisher | Date| Type| Size | Rights |Keywords| URL 7. Save you sheet in csv (comma delimited) format. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 30
  • 31. Plugins Plugins are tools to extend the basic functionality of Omeka. Omeka.net has 15 free plugins.  You will install and configure each one, uninstall and deactivate it. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 31
  • 32. Plugins: CSV Import  Available for all plans  Import items from a simple csv file  Map the csv columns data to elements, files or tags.  Each row in the file represents metadata for a single item DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 32
  • 33. Exercise 2 1. Install CSV Import 2. Upload the csv file you created earlier. 3. Do not tick “Automate Column Names to Elements” unless your elements are Dublin Core. 4. Do not tick “Select Item Type” unless all of your items have the same type: i.e. all are still images. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 33
  • 34. Exercise 2 (continued) 6. Map your elements to Dublin Core schema. 7. The url field cannot be mapped, tick “file” in third column. 8. If you have a tag element, it cannot also be mapped, tick “tag” in second column. 9. HTML column is ticked only when you want to change the font or size of your elements. We do not usually do that, so no need to tick it. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 34
  • 35. Plugin: CoinS The COinS plugin embeds citation metadata into the pages of your Omeka.net site for each item. When activated, the COinS plugin makes your items viewable to certain online bibliographic tools such as Zotero by automatically embedding citation metadata in your website.

  • 36. Plugin: Simple Pages Allows you to easily create web pages for your public site using a simple form. Requires no programming knowledge Allows users to add basic HTML markup. Allow to create simple subpages under pages and re-order them. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 36
  • 37. Online Collections vs Exhibitions “What separates and exhibition from a collection is that an exhibition has a tight connection that is vital; otherwise, a virtual exhibition will “amount to little more than disorganized and decontextualized digital collections” (Silver 1997, 826). DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 37
  • 38. Exhibition It starts with an idea: Anniversaries of births, deaths, or significant events in people’s lives Notable events in the life of an institution or region Specific materials from a certain collections or subcollections Treasures Work done by various departments of the library, archives or other departments of the institution. Each of the ideas above can be tailored and focused to reflect the strengths of your individual library or archive. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 38
  • 39. Planning Sticky notes are a great way to visualize your ideas DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 39
  • 40. Concept Diagram Draft concept diagram for a possible exhibition about sharks. Sticky notes more rearranged to determine a more organized system with logic trails and connectors between each idea. Image courtesy of Polly Mckenna-Cress DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 40
  • 41. Plugin: Exhibit Install Exhibit builder plugin. This is the exhibit structure: DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 41
  • 42. Plugin: Social Bookmarking The Social Bookmarking plugin inserts a customizable list of social networking sites below each item or collection in your Omeka.net site Activate the Plugin Configure it : Item or Page Level. Choose the social media you want display. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 42
  • 43. Plugin: Reports The Reports and Bar Codes plugin allows users to generate a report list of items in HTML or a PDF with QR-style bar codes associated with select items. A report is a named set of items of your choice.  You can create reports that encompass all items in the system, or choose to report on one specific item, one collection, or by a search term. Reports will automatically update as new items are added to Omeka. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 43
  • 44. Publicizing your site Does not show in google search. Google needs to find it to index it. Site needs to be linked from other pages (i.e. library page) known by google. DHIB2017- AUB LIBRARIES - DALAL RAHME 44
