Hi All,
I'm working to set up Omeka for a digitization project. I'm really enjoying version 2 of the software.
My current predicament is that our consortial best-practices guide suggests using two controlled vocabularies: one of the institution's choosing (in our case, LCSH) and a second one designed as broader subjects applied to all materials.
I've got the LCSH plugin set up and working, which is great and I could see how it would be possible to set up SimpleVocab to hold the 18 terms in the consorita's vocabulary, but I don't think I can have both plugins act on the same field.
Do other folks have solutions to similar problems?
We'd like to retain the auto-completing and control we'd get from SimpleVocab for one set and still have LCSH suggest for all other terms?
Is there a way to add an "local subject" element and link that to SimpleVocab?
Thanks for any advice or guidance you might be able to offer.
