About COinS
The COinS plugin embeds citation metadata into the pages of your Omeka site for each item. COinS (ContextObjects in Spans) is "a simple, ad hoc community specification for publishing OpenURL references in HTML."[1]
When installed, the COinS plugin makes your items viewable to certain online bibliographic tools by automatically embedding citation metadata in your website. The intention of this plugin is to facilitate online research as well as interoperability with other systems.
