Digital archive with Omeka S
Field Archive standardizes on the international digital archive platform Omeka S for every build.
By designing to Dublin Core, we plan for future system migrations and data integration with Japan Search (National Diet Library).
This page shares a high-level view of what we build with Omeka S and how Japan Search integration works.
What you’ll learn here
- Why we standardize on Omeka S and its benefits
- How we design metadata with Dublin Core in mind
- Key points for publication and ops with Japan Search in view
- A practical, small-scope rollout path to get started
Example rollout steps
- Hear current materials/records and how you want to use them
- Draft a small-scope design and rough estimate for priority materials
- Run a pilot and ops test, then decide full rollout and publication scope
Rather than digitizing everything at once, we start where the burden is lowest and expand coverage gradually.
