Using Avalon Items in OHMS
Avalon and OHMS
OHMS, the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer, is an application used to assist with transcription and indexing tasks for oral history recordings. For more information about OHMS, see the OHMS website. OHMS can use a variety of different media sources for audio and video playback, including Avalon. Interoperability is limited to using media from an Avalon site within OHMS; Avalon does not support the import of OHMS XML.
Using Avalon as a Media Source in OHMS Records
Items must be Published to be used in other applications, including OHMS.
Under Media Format, select Audio or Video to match the type of content.
Select Avalon as the Media Host location.
On an Avalon item page, select the section you wish to use.
Click the Share link found at the bottom of the media player and click the Embed tab.
Select the text area containing the embed code and copy the text.
Paste this text into the Embed Code text area.
Save the OHMS record.
If You Use Permalinks
Avalon can be configured to create permalinks for items when the Publish action is initiated. If your Avalon instance is configured to use permalinks, follow the additional step below:
Set the Avalon Target Domain field to the URL of your Avalon instance. For example, if the URL for your permalink is https://purl.dlib.indiana.edu/iudl/media/k81j52xp9j/embed, and your Avalon instance URL is https://media.dlib.indiana.edu, and enter 'https://media.dlib.indiana.edu' into the Avalon Target Domain field.
