Designed specifically to offer users an easy way to create linked data description for their materials, Omeka S offers both the familiarity of a content management system and the capacity for users to create new kinds of linked-data driven digital publications.
This tutorial will introduce the Omeka S platform.
Users may be familiar with Omeka Classic, which includes a fixed Dublin Core metadata schema, as a way to develop rich collections-based digital exhibits. First released in 2015, Omeka S is the next generation of the Omeka family of web publishing platforms. Capitalizing on its linked data infrastructure, a whole range of more abstract entities such as people, places, events, and concepts can be described. Omeka S includes Dublin Core out of the box, but users can import multiple vocabularies, allowing resources to be described with a variety of metadata schemas. As a result of this flexible infrastructure, Omeka S represents a viable platform for creating, publishing and analyzing research data as part of the larger semantic web.
