The Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky
Libraries created a web-based, system called OHMS (Oral History Metadata
Synchronizer) to inexpensively and efficiently enhance access to oral history
online. OHMS provides users word-level search capability and a time-correlated
transcript or indexed interview connecting the textual search term to the
corresponding moment in the recorded interview online.

The primary purpose for OHMS is to empower users to more effectively and
efficiently discover information in an online oral history interview by
connecting the user from a search result to the corresponding moment in an
interview. OHMS is an open source,  web-based application designed to improve
the user experience you provide for oral history, no matter what CMS or
repository you use.  There are 2 main components of the OHMS system

 * OHMS Application: The OHMS application, a tool that has been integrated into
   the Aviary platform,  is where the work is done.  This is the back-end,
   web-based application where interviews are imported, and metadata is
   created.  In the OHMS application transcripts are time-coded and/or
   interviews are indexed.  Upon completion, the interview record (including the
   synchronized transcript and/or time-coded index) are exported as an XML
   file.  When located on a web server, the OHMS XML file is what interfaces
   with your content management system through the OHMS Viewer.

 *  OHMS Viewer: The OHMS viewer is the user interface of ohms.   When an
   interview is called by the repository, the OHMS viewer loads, calling select
   interview level metadata and the intra interview level metadata created in
   the OHMS Application from the corresponding xml file.

Navigate to this page in order to see examples of the OHMS Viewer in action and
see different variations of the way OHMS can be utilized, including interviews
with following variations: Transcript only; Index only; transcript + index;
bilingual transcript and/or index; audio and video interviews; interviews using
YouTube; interviews using HTML5 delivered video.

The OHMS Viewer is now available for download.  If you are interested in using
OHMS, request a free OHMS account using the Aviary Platform. .
