The online Museum of Underwater Archaeology recently began using Omeka to develop a set of research tools for its audience of academic, government, and avocational maritime resource managers. Our resources include a bibliography of gray literature titles of state underwater archaeology site reports (available nowhere else) a collection of crowd sourced images of one particular shipwreck submitted by sport divers and archaeologists from around the world. Omeka has proven to be a good tool for us but there are a few issues that we wish could be changed. One in particular is that tags are not collection specific. As our list of resource tools grows so too will the list of tags but not all tags are relevant to all collections. In fact few are relevant to items outside of the collection in which they were created. It will not be long before "Browse by tag" becomes difficult (if not unusable) due to the number of tags listed. Can that be changed in PHP somewhere to make tags collection specific?
Secondly a similar argument could be made about plugins. My understanding is that once a plugin is turned on, say commenting for instance, it is turned on for all collections. We wouldn't want that functionality for all collections. Again, is this something that can be fixed in PHP?
Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
