CSV Import (module for Omeka S)

CSV Import is a module for Omeka S and will allow users to import Entities from a simple CSV (comma separated value) file, and then map the CSV column data to Entity. Each row in the file represents metadata for a single Entity.

Furthermore, it’s possible to import directly files in formats TSV (tab separated value), a simpler and more efficient format, and ODS (OpenDocument Spreadsheet, the ISO standard office format for spreadsheets, managed by LibreOffice and a lot of other tools) directly.

Most often, the import will create new Omeka S items. It is also possible to import item sets, media and users, and other modules can add other import types. It’s possible to import mixed resources in one file too.

See the Omeka S user manual for user documentation.

Installation

See general end user documentation for Installing a module.

To install CSV Import from the source, go to the root of the module, and run composer install. Users using the pre-packaged downloads from the Releases page or the omeka.org module directory don't need to worry about this step.

To be able to import ods, the php extensions zip and xml should be installed (default in most cases).

Warning

Use it at your own risk.

It’s always recommended to backup your files and your databases and to check your archives regularly so you can roll back if needed.

Troubleshooting

See online issues on the Omeka forum and the module issues page on GitHub.
