Hi ! The NestedDataType module does not seem to have been updated for two years now. I really wanted to try it out in order to experiment with Cidoc-crm but it does not seem to be compatible with last verison of Omeka S. Once installed everything crashs. Unfortunately, I don’t have the skills to update it but I was wondering if anybody was still working on it on planning to work on it ?
Hi,
I did the changes to make it 4.0 compatible which were released and I can’t think of any core updates that might cause it not to be compatible in 4.1 or 4.2. Which version of Omeka are you trying to use it on?
The red flag here is that you are using CIDOC-CRM, which probably means you’re hitting the same issue that made us stop using the module: performance drain · Issue #16 · sinanatra/NestedDataType · GitHub. Unfortunately it’s not an easy fix, I found no solution nor did the original author, as it would probably require changes in core to fix it.
John.
I’m using the 4.2.0. version of Omeka S. Maybe it is not a version problem but an incompatibility with other modules ? Is there known problems related to other modules ?
Not that I can remember, but it is a possablity. With the CIDOC-CRM issue we were seeing timeouts depending on server config so it could also be that.
Thank you for your answer. In the end I decided not to use CIDOC because it seems too complex for other members of my project to maintain in the long run. I hope it will be possible one day though.
CIDOC is a huge beast that tries to model everything, which is rarely what you actually need. What I tend to do is define my own ontologies based on CIDOC that only have the exact bits we need to keep it simple, but also define in the ontology RDF the mapping to the full CIDOC model.
