Omeka Plugin Curation and Development

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Devin Griffiths

I’ve been using OMEKA this semester to produce a class website that includes a digital facsimile, transcript, and readerly edition of a manuscript.  Additional materials produced by students have included GoogleMaps & GoogleEarth maps, a Glogster page, and a Flash exhibit.  It’s running on an Amazon AMI, and can be seen at 23.21.246.240/ . As part of this I’ve started using a variety of plugins, and had to start playing around with Omeka’s style and plugins.  I’d love a session that talks about how to get your feet wet with plugin organization, development, changing the Omeka themes, adding fields to the MySQL database that backs Omeka up, etc.

About Devin Griffiths

I work on science and literature in the nineteenth century, but I've got a growing engagement with DH work, from textual analysis of large and small corpora, largely using the Meandre software, to network analysis and visualization, and basic mapping.
