Hello,
I am beginning to look into Omeka for my institution to be used for user-generated transcription and metadata. In glancing over the documentation, I got the impression that the Dublin Core fields can be opened up to be editable by the public. I can't seem to figure out how this works though. Can someone point me to the correct documentation for this?
Also, assuming there have been a sizable number of items transcribed or have had metadata provided by the public, how easy is it to extract all of this at once to be added to the official metadata record/catalog? Is it a matter of running a query in the database or does it have to be done item by item through the web interface?
For people who have successfully used Omeka as part of a crowdsourcing project, does anyone have workflow documentation that you would be willing to share? I am interested in knowing how much staff time is actually required to keep this sort of thing going. Thank you for your help.
