While there is still some important spatial work to be done with the current map, the planning and documentation for the bibliographic integration serves as a worthwhile distraction. The Dropbox plugin allows you to upload multiple files directly into a folder on your server that you can then add in the items admin interface.With the first GIS map of Pompeii now available online, we are turning more of our attention to the problem of connecting our spatial data to our bibliographic data.

This plugin is included in your downloaded Omeka installation and does not require a separate download. You may find it useful for creating exhibit pages out of collected materials.
OMEKA DROPBOX PLUGIN ARCHIVE
The Exhibit Builder plugin allows you to develop online exhibits, or special web pages, that combine items from your Omeka archive and may include narrative text. This plugin also allows you to add a map to your Contribution form, allowing contributors to select locations on a map to submit with their materials. The locations are displayed on maps on individual items page and on a browsable map of all geolocated items, that you can add to your site’s primary navigation. The Geolocation plugin allows you to assign a location to items in your Omeka site. We do not currently have the following plugins active on our collecting site, but they may be useful for others. See the related Omeka documentation for details on configuring this plugin. This plugin works very well with the Simple Vocab plugin for controlling metadata vocabulary. The Search by Metadata plugin makes it possible for visitors to your public Omeka site to see a browse page with items that share specific metadata (i.e., all items with ‘UVA Rotunda’ in the Spatial Coverage field). This plugin is useful for creating additional text rich pages for your site, and comes bundled with your Omeka download. Used to create our About the Archive page. Used for standardizing date input for contribution submissions (provides a pop out calendar for date selection in the Contribution form).

Once the plugin is installed, you can manage your custom vocabulary by clicking on the ‘Simple Vocab’ tab on the left-hand menu in your Omeka dashboard: When a contributor chooses to fill out the ‘Location’ input in the collection form, they choose from a drop-down list of predetermined terms, set in the Simple Vocab settings. We used Simple Vocab to replace the element for “Spatial Coverage” with a list of locations around Charlottesville relevant to the events. This plugin allows you to create drop-down menus that replace the usual text box for an element. Simple Vocab is a useful plugin for providing predetermined vocabulary for any metadata elements. We used this plugin specifically for the ‘Spatial Coverage’ element, which along with the Simple Vocab plugin, allows contributors to submit the location of their contribution. Dublin Core Extendedĭublin Core Extended provides additional metadata elements that you may find useful to collect in your Contribution collection form. See the page on Collecting Community Contributions for additional information on our site’s Contribution Terms of Service and how we configured this plugin for collecting and managing stories, images, and other files from the public. Please read through the Omeka documentation carefully. Installing and configuring the Contribution plugin requires a few steps.

Other plugins can be integrated into the Contribution form, such as Simple Vocab for creating dropdown menu choices, and Geolocation for inviting users to map their submissions or locations. Contributors may share and upload content anonymously, and their information will only be available to site administrators. The Contribution plugin provides a form to collect stories, images, and other files from the public and manage those contributions in your Omeka site as items.
