No class meeting. Sherwood at NEMLA conference.
Our next, and final mini-project will be an archival database using an exhibit building tool called Omeka. You'll be gathering and organizing legal (open-source, public domain, or fair-use) images and texts, structuring, tagging and presenting them as an interpretive exhibit and a research tool for others. In order to start thinking about about such project building, I'd like you to read a handful of sections from the DH101 course at UCLA.

Read
If you find it easier, I have collated these sections into a single, printable PDF:
 *  [|2B. Classification Systems]
 *  [|3A. Ontologies and Metadata]
 *  [|3B. Data and Databases]
 *  [|4A. Database and Narrative]
 *  [|8B. Interface Theory and Practice]
 *  [|9A. Interface and Narrative]
 * [|Exhibits]
 *  [|Omeka]

Please visit the Omeka.net Showcase. Choose one project to explore in depth. Consider the kinds of materials included, how they are selected and organized (via **Tags** and **Collections**), how meta-data is used to organize items, and how their arrangement in **Exhibits** provides interpretive insight or constructs a narrative.
