Reciprocal (module for Omeka S)

New versions of this module and support for Omeka S version 3.0 and above are available on GitLab, which seems to respect users and privacy better than the previous repository.

Reciprocal is a module for Omeka S that allows to update automatically the linked resources with the reciprocal value in the reciprocal property.

For example, when the property "Dublin Core : Is Part Of" of the item Alpha is filled with the value "item Beta", a value "item Alpha" is added to the item Beta in the property "Dublin Core : Has Part". When the value is removed, the reciprocal value is removed too.

The list of the most common reciprocal properties is ready for the default ontologies and can be updated for any new ontology.
