37<h4>The NZDL system</h4>
38
39<p> The New Zealand Digital Library system comprises several demonstration
40collections -- computer science technical reports and bibliographies,
41literary works, humanitarian and development information, magazines -- and
42makes them available over the Web through full-text interfaces. Behind the
43query interface lies a huge collection providing gigabytes of information.
44We hope you find what you want, or at least something intriguing!
45
46<h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
47
48<p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
49organizing information and making it available over the Internet. A
50<i>collection</i> of information comprises several (typically several
51thousand, or even several million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform
52searching and browsing interface. The collections in a library are
53organized in a different way--though they share a strong family
54resemblance. Although primarily designed for access over the Web,
55Greenstone collections can be made available, in precisely the same form,
56on CD-ROM for standalone PCs. Greenstone is open-source software,
57available under the terms of the Gnu public license.
58<p>The following websites are among those currently using Greenstone. <i>Note that these
59sites are under development.</i>
60<ul>
61<li><a href="http://moby.cisti.nrc.ca/~nzdl/cgi-bin/library">CISTI</a>
62<li><a href="http://gene.rutgers.edu/cgi-bin/library">Rutgers University</a>

66<h4>The research</h4>
67
68<p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
69internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
70automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
71repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with
72effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and
73comfortably. Our research objectives are to
74
75<ul>
76 <li> develop technology for creating and automatically
77 maintaining collections;
78 <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs;
79 <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users;
80 <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information
81 from document files;
82 <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for
83 bibliometric research;
84 <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections;
85 <li> survey and critique other digital library projects.
86</ul>

122_textgreenstone_ { <p><br> Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like
123this software) is sourced in New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it
124was the most highly prized and sought after of all substances. It can
125absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is a spirit or life force, and is
126endowed with traditional virtues that make it an appropriate emblem for a
127public-domain digital library project. Its lustre shows charity; its
128translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can
129take, justice. The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library
130Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family heirloom
131of one of our project members. In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very
132quick, very accurate, and very complete. We like to think these qualities
133also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i>
134symbolizing the leading edge of technology.

366_iconblankbar_
367<p>There are several freely available technologies underlying the New Zealand
368Digital Library:
369<ul>
370<li><a href="_httppagex_(gsdlsoft)"><i>Greenstone</i></a>, the digital
371library system that generates each and every page of this website.<p>
372
373<li><a href="_httppagex_(prescript)"><i>PreScript</i></a>, a system
374that converts PostScript to plain ASCII or HTML, detects paragraph boundaries,
375removes hyphenation, and interprets many ligatures.<p>
376
377<li><a href="_httppagex_(mg)"><i>MG</i></a>, an enhancement of the <a
378href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mg"><i>Managing Gigabytes</i></a> full-text
379retrieval system, that provides flexible stemming methods, weighting terms,
380term frequencies, merged indexes, machine independent indexes, and a port to
381MSDOS.<p>
382
383<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/sequitur"><i>Sequitur</i></a>, a
384method for inferring compositional hierarchies from strings by detecting
385repetition and factoring it out of the string by forming rules in a
386grammar. The rules can be composed of non-terminals, giving rise to a
387hierarchy. Sequitur is useful for recognizing lexical structure in strings,
388and excels at very long sequences.<p>
389
390<li><a href="http://www.nzdl.org/Kea"><i>Kea</i></a>, a program for
391automatically extracting keyphrases from the full text of documents. Candidate
392keyphrases are identified using rudimentary lexical processing, features are
393computed for each candidate, and machine learning is used to generate a
394classifier that determines which candidates should be assigned as
395keyphrases. <p>
396
397<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~stevej/Research/Phrasier/"><i>Phrasier</i></a>, a
398tool to support information seeking activities in a digital library. Its novel design
399reflects the fact that reading, writing, browsing and searching activities are rarely
400carried out independently of each other. They overlap and interleave in ways which have
401not been effectively supported by conventional information retrieval interfaces. Consequenly
402Phrasier blurs the distinction between writing a document and finding material related to it;
403between reading a document and finding others on the same or similar topics; between keyword
404searching and subject browsing. <p>
