Website Creation: An exploration of content management platforms: Omeka

This guide seeks to compare some of the mainstream website content management platforms. Each platform is listed with a list of different features available, available plans, and any other notable information about the tool.

Introduction to Omeka

Omeka was created to be an online exhibit for educational purposes.  This tool is very good with research materials -- particularly image centered research.  Omeka operates through a plug-in system that has several tools for visualization -- including mapping and digital timeline creator tools.  It also utilizes the Dublin Core Metadata Scheme and allows for optimal archival capabilities.
