    Omeka is not a blog tool. It is a collections manager and functions like a library index would, with the addition of the ability to create online exhibits.

A digital repository is an online archive for the storage of digital objects; these can range from digital archives, moving or still image galleries, manuscripts, anything that is in electronic format and needs a place to be stored either in the short or longer term.
