On several occasions we lost time and detailed intellectual work by accidentally navigating away from the item creation form. These issues make Omeka problematic as a serious choice for a project that will involve large-scale and or detailed metadata creation, since using it in the fashion digitalMETRO attempted revealed serious data consistency issues. However, considering the strong, extensibile MVC architecture Omeka is built on top of, all of these issues seem to be within reach of being fixed if the development community would take notice. As better documentation of the Omeka adminstrative theme and Omeka plug-in develop, these issues could be addressed. For example, support for controlled vocabularies could come via a plug-in developed for a given vocabulary.
