"Omeka is an open-source web-publishing platform primarily designed to showcase cultural collections and exhibitions. Omeka combines the functionalities of web content and collection management system, as well as digital archival system" (Hannah Lewi, Wally Smith, Dirk vom Lehn, and Steven Cooke, 2019, p. 361).
Omeka S is widely used in cultural heritage institutions (e.g., museums) and for digital humanities curation because it helps the users to systematically create metadata, that is, structured information describing information resources/objects (images, audio files, etc) for a variety of purposes.
