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 linense.
58
59<h4>The research</h4>
60
61<p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
62internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
63automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
64repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with
65effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and
66comfortably. Our research objectives are to
67
68<ul>
69 <li> develop technology for creating and automatically
70 maintaining collections;
71 <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs;
72 <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users;
73 <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information
74 from document files;
75 <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for
76 bibliometric research;
77 <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections;
78 <li> survey and critique other digital library projects.
79</ul>

115_textgreenstone_ { <p><br> Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like
116this software) is sourced in New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it
117was the most highly prized and sought after of all substances. It can
118absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is a spirit or life force, and is
119endowed with traditional virtues that make it an appropriate emblem for a
120public-domain digital library project. Its lustre shows charity; its
121translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can
122take, justice. The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library
123Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family heirloom
124of one of our project members. In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very
125quick, very accurate, and very complete. We like to think these qualities
126also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i>
127symbolizing the leading edge of technology.

358_content_ {
359_iconblankbar_
360<p>There are several freely available technologies underlying the New Zealand
361Digital Library:
362<ul>
363<li><a href="_httppagex_(gsdlsoft)"><i>Greenstone</i></a>, the digital
364library system that generates each and every page of this website.<p>
365
366<li><a href="_httppagex_(prescript)"><i>PreScript</i></a>, a system
367that converts PostScript to plain ASCII or HTML, detects paragraph boundaries,
368removes hyphenation, and interprets many ligatures.<p>
369
370<li><a href="_httppagex_(mg)"><i>MG</i></a>, an enhancement of the <a
371href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mg"><i>Managing Gigabytes</i></a> full-text
372retrieval system, that provides flexible stemming methods, weighting terms,
373term frequencies, merged indexes, machine independent indexes, and a port to
374MSDOS.<p>
375
376<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/sequitur"><i>Sequitur</i></a>, a
377method for inferring compositional hierarchies from strings by detecting
378repetition and factoring it out of the string by forming rules in a
379grammar. The rules can be composed of non-terminals, giving rise to a
380hierarchy. Sequitur is useful for recognizing lexical structure in strings,
381and excels at very long sequences.<p>
382
383<li><a href="http://www.nzdl.org/Kea"><i>Kea</i></a>, a program for
384automatically extracting keyphrases from the full text of documents. Candidate
385keyphrases are identified using rudimentary lexical processing, features are
386computed for each candidate, and machine learning is used to generate a
387classifier that determines which candidates should be assigned as
388keyphrases. <p>
389
390<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~stevej/Research/Phrasier/"><i>Phrasier</i></a>, a
391tool to support information seeking activities in a digital library. Its novel design
392reflects the fact that reading, writing, browsing and searching activities are rarely
393carried out independently of each other. They overlap and interleave in ways which have
394not been effectively supported by conventional information retrieval interfaces. Consequenly
395Phrasier blurs the distinction between writing a document and finding material related to it;
396between reading a document and finding others on the same or similar topics; between keyword
397searching and subject browsing. <p>
