• Hierarchy and features for those with archival collections
  Recently the Omeka Dev Team has released a Hierarchy module for Omeka S that should be of interest to users who are working with archival collections. Inherently Omeka S has a flat data model. Items may be associated with many Item Sets, but Item Sets cannot contain other Item Sets. Now with the Hierarchy module, users can indicate relationships among Item Sets in a nested fashion. Thus, a user might create logical groupings of items that reflect their physical organization in an archives (record group/collection, series, box, folder, etc.). Of course, users may create as many hierarcies and in as many organizational structures as they like. Then, once the hierarchies are created, a user may …

• What's the 411?
  Could the Omeka Team be Mary J. Blige fans? In fact, we are. And we are pleased to bring you news of a set of Omeka S goodness that dare we say rivals that 1992 landmark release…. well, if you like modules. First, we have issued v.4.1.1 a bug release for the core software, the changes which are detailed in the release notes.

This functionality is great for setting out specifications for other users to follow in creating resources, or for cutting dow …
