About this session

Overview: Humanities researchers often want to share collections online. For example, diaries or art works. You could use some general-purpose technology such as a WordPress site or google photos album. However, these technologies lack features suitable for a digital collection or exhibition of items from the humanities. We may want to publish our items as linked open data using industry standards and create an interesting exhibition which guides our visitors through the collection. Omega S is a web publishing platform created with humanities and libraries in mind. In this session James gives an overview of the possibilities it enables, and shares some examples.
