Vocabulary Control in Omeka
Omeka now offers Simple Vocab and Library of Congress Subject Headings Plugins.
We?ve written two plugins for administrators who want to make data entry easier and more reliable. With the Simple Vocab plugin you can define a controlled vocabulary for any field using a simple interface. It even helps you build vocabularies using texts that already exist in your archive. The Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) plugin adds an autocomplete feature to your Dublin Core?s Subject element, pulling results from Library of Congress? considerable database of subject headings. Happy data entry!
