Compound Objects

This section of “_data/theme.yml” configures the display of compound object children on the site’s visualization and data pages. Following the conventions below, any child object with the proper corresponding metadata (lat/long for map, date for timeline) can be added to or removed from visualizations.

A “Compound Object” describes an item that is made up of a set of digital files intended to be treated as one connected item in the collection site and displayed on a single Item page. Note that this section configures compound objects only after they’ve been added to the collection – if you would like to add compound objects to your site, see the Compound Objects section of the docs.
