    1314<p>Files can be copied into the collection by dragging and dropping.  The mouse pointer becomes a ghost of the selected item (or, if more than one is selected, the number of them).  Drop the selection into the Collection Tree to copy the files there (if the source was the Workspace Tree) or move them around within the collection (if the source was the Collection Tree).</p>
     15
    1416<p>When copying multiple files, they are all placed in the target folder at the same level, irrespective of the folder structure they occupied originally. When you copy a second file with the same name into the same folder, you are asked whether to overwrite the first one.  Respond "No" and the file will not be copied, but the others will be.  To cancel all remaining copy actions, click the "stop" button.</p>
     17
    1518<p>Only the "highest" items in a selection are moved.  A folder is higher than its children.  You cannot select files within a folder and also the folder itself.</p>
     19
    1620<p>When you add a file, the Librarian Interface searches through the source folders for auxiliary files containing metadata previously assigned to the added file and, if it finds one, begins to import this metadata.  As the operation proceeds, you may be prompted (perhaps several times) for extra information to match the imported metadata to the metadata sets in your collection.  This process involves many different prompts, described in the <a href="importingpreviouslyassignedmetadata.htm">Importing Previously Assigned Metadata</a> section.  For a more detailed explanation of associating metadata with files read Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.</p>
     21
     22<p>You can also add a "dummy" document to the collection by right-clicking in the Collection Tree or on a folder, and selecting "New dummy document". This will create a new empty file which can be assigned metadata. The file can be replaced with a "real" file later on.</p>

    1314<p>We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file.  First select the file from the Collection file tree on the left.  The action causes any metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.</p>
     15
    1416<p>Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the table.</p>
     17
    1518<p>Type the value into the value field.  Use the "|" character to add structure, as described in <a href="theenrichview.htm">The Enrich View</a>. Pressing the [Up] or [Down] arrow keys will save the metadata value and move the selection appropriately. Pressing [Enter] will save the metadata value and create a new empty entry for the metadata element, allowing you to assign multiple values to a metadata element.</p>
     19
    1620<p>You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at once.  It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child folders.  Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in it automatically inherit the folder's values.</p>

    1416<p>To create a filter, click the "Define Filters" tab and enter a name for the new filter into the "Subcollection filter name:" field.  Next choose a document attribute to match against, either a metadata element or the name of the file in question.  Enter a regular expression to use during the matching. You can toggle between "Including" documents that match the filter, or "Excluding" them.  Finally, you can specify any of the standard PERL regular expression flags to use when matching (e.g.  "i" for case-insensitive matching). Finally, click "Add Filter" to add the filter to the "Defined Subcollection Filters" list.</p>
     17
    1518<p>To remove a filter, select it from the list and click "Remove Filter".</p>
     19
    1620<p>To alter a filter, select it from the list, change any of the values that appear in the editing controls and click "Replace Filter" to commit the changes.</p>
     21
     22<p>Defining filters does not create sub-collections. Sub-collections are specified in the "Assign Partitions", based on the filters you have just defined.</p>

A popup window is displayed, showing options for the exploding process. The first option ("plugin") specifies the plugin to be used for exploding. In most cases, only one plugin will process a particular type of file, but in some cases, where different file types share the same filename extension, there may be two plugins that both process files with that extension. The "input_encoding" option can be used to specify the encoding of the database. The "metadata_set" option specifies which metadata set the new fields should be added into. If none is specified, then you will be prompted for what to do with each new field found in the database: add it as a new element to an existing metadata set, merge with another element, or ignore.</Text>
     158<Text id="exm-5">When a file is exploded, a new empty document is created for each record, and the metadata from the record is assigned to the document. These are named using numbers such as 000001.nul, 000002.nul etc. If the "document_field" option is set (to a database field name), then the value of this field, if present, will be used for the filename. The exploding process will also try to download the file, and use this instead of an empty file. The "document_prefix" and "document_suffix" options can be used to make a valid URL or file path from the document_field value. The "records_per_folder" option can be used to group exploded records into sub-folders. If the database is very large, using this option will make future metadata editing run faster.</Text>

    147 <Text id="76">Use the Enrich view to assign metadata to the documents in the collection. Metadata is data about data -- typically title, author, creation date, and so on.  Each metadata item has two parts: "element" tells what kind of item it is (such as author), and "value" gives the value of that metadata element (such as the author's name).</Text>
    148 <Text id="77">On the left of the "Enrich" view is the Collection Tree. To the right is the Metadata Table, which shows metadata for any selected files or folders in the Collection Tree.  Columns are named in grey at the top, and can be resized by dragging the separating line. If several files are selected, black text indicates that the value is common to all of the selected files, while grey text indicates that it is not.  Black values may be updated or removed, while grey ones can be removed from those that have it, or appended to the others.</Text>

If several files or folders are selected, black text indicates that the value is common to all of the selected items, while grey text indicates that it is not. Editing grey values will only affect those documents with that metadata. Any new metadata values entered will be added to all selected values.</Text>

    158190<Text id="83">Sets of predefined metadata elements are known as "metadata sets".  An example is the Dublin Core metadata set.  When you add a metadata set to your collection, its elements become available for selection.  You can have more than one set; to prevent name clashes a short identifier that identifies the metadata set is pre-pended to the element name.  For instance the Dublin Core element Creator becomes "dc.Creator".  Metadata sets are stored in the Librarian Interface's metadata folder and have the suffix ".mds".</Text>

     191<Text id="84">When you create a new collection, the Dublin Core metadata set is added by default. You can change which metadata sets are used in a collection by clicking the "Manage Metadata Sets..." button underneath the Collection Tree in the Enrich view. This brings up a new window for managing the collection's metadata sets.</Text>

To add one of these, select it from the list and click "Add". If you have defined your own metadata set, you can use the "Browse" button to locate the file on your file system.</Text>
     194<Text id="84c">To create a new metadata set, click "New...". This will launch the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets, or GEMS. An initial popup window prompts you for the set name, namespace and description. You can also choose to base the new set on an existing one, in which case it will inherit all the elements from the specified set. Click OK. The main window shows the metadata set on the left hand side, and some attributes for the set on the right hand side. If you have based the set on an existing one, there will be one or more elements displayed. Clicking on one of these will display attributes of the element in the right hand side.</Text>
     195<Text id="84d">To add a new element to the set, right click on the set and choose "Add Element". To add a new subelement, right click on the element and choose "Add Subelement". Elements and subelements can be deleted by choosing "Delete (Sub)element" from the right click menu. </Text>
     196<Text id="84e">Note, the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets can be run independently of GLI by selecting it from the Greenstone Start menu, or by running gens.sh or gems.bat in the gli folder of your Greenstone installation.</Text>
     197<Text id="84f">Sometimes two metadata sets may have the same namespace, for example, Dublin Core and Qualified Dublin Core both use the namespace "dc". Sets like this cannot be used in the collection at the same time. If you try to add a set with a namespace already used by the collection, a warning will be shown, and if you go ahead with the add, the existing set will be removed and the new set will be added. Any assigned metadata values will be transferred to the new set providing those elements still exist.</Text>
     198<Text id="191">Editing metadata sets is also done with the GEMS. Clicking the "Edit" button launches GEMS with the specified metadata set open. Once you have finished editing the set (as described above), save it (File->Save) and close GEMS.</Text>
     199<Text id="192">If you no longer need a metadata set, select it and press "Remove" to remove it. If you have assigned any metadata to elements in the removed set you will be asked how to deal with this metadata when you next open the collection.</Text>

    1314<p>This section describes how to import previously assigned metadata: metadata assigned to documents before they were added to the collection.</p>
     15
    1416<p>If metadata in a form recognized by the Librarian Interface has been previously assigned to a file -- for example, when you choose documents from an existing Greenstone collection -- it is imported automatically when you add the file. To do this, the metadata must be mapped to the metadata sets available in the collection.</p>
     17
    1518<p>The Librarian Interface prompts for the necessary information.  The prompt gives brief instructions and then shows the name of the metadata element that is being imported, just as it appears in the source file.  This field cannot be edited or changed.  Next you choose what metadata set the new element should map to, and then the appropriate metadata element in that set.  The system automatically selects the closest match, in terms of set and element, for the new metadata.</p>
     19
    1620<p>Having checked the mapping, you can choose "Add" to add the new metadata element to the chosen metadata set.  (This is only enabled if there is no element of the same name within the chosen set.) "Merge" maps the new element to the one chosen by the user.  Finally, "Ignore" does not import any metadata with this element name.  Once you have specified how to import a certain piece of metadata, the mapping information is retained for the collection's lifetime.</p>
     21
    1722<p>For details on the metadata.xml files which Greenstone uses to store the metadata, see Chapter 2 of the Greenstone Developer's Guide -- Getting the most out of your documents.</p>

    1314<p>This section provides basic information about interacting with the Librarian Interface. If you are familiar with programs such as Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office and are comfortable with mouse clicks and menus, skip to <a href="howtoavoidthisdocument.htm">How to Avoid Reading This Document</a>.</p>
     15
    1416<p>The Librarian Interface follows Microsoft Windows conventions and draws upon ordinary knowledge of Windows.</p>
     17
    1518<p>Any part of the screen that you interact with, such as a button or text field, is called a "control".  At any given time one control, called the "focus", is highlighted and responds to the keyboard.  Several controls allow you to select parts that are highlighted in dark blue.  Some controls are greyed out to indicate that they are disabled.</p>
     19
    1620<p>You can move and left- or right-click the mouse in the usual way.  Many components also allow you to "drag" them, by clicking and holding the left mouse button, move them with the mouse, and "drop" them elsewhere by releasing the button.  Potential drop targets alter their appearance when a component hovers over them.</p>
    17 <p>You can use the keyboard to type into text fields.  Keyboard alternatives are available for many controls, indicated by a key name in square brackets -- for example, [Tab] alters the focus.  The plus sign shows if other keys must be pressed at the same time.</p>
    18 <p>Buttons, like menus, have one character underlined.  To "click" the button, press [ALT] and the underlined character at the same time.</p>
    19 <p>To access a menu, hold down [ALT] and press the corresponding letter (underlined).  For example, for the "File" menu press [ALT] + [F].  To choose an item, press the corresponding key.  For example, while in the File menu press [S] to "Save" a collection.</p>
     21
     22<p>You can use the keyboard to type into text fields. [Tab] alters the focus between multiple text fields.</p>
     23
    2024<p>Exit the Librarian Interface program by choosing "Exit" from the "File" menu.  Your collection will be saved first.</p>

    14 <p>In case more than one Greenstone Librarian Interface program is running concurrently, the relevant directories are "locked" to prevent interference.

Note that for MG collections, the total number of partitions generated is a combination of all indexes, sub-collection filters and languages chosen. Two indexes with two sub-collection filters in two languages would yield eight index partitions. For MGPP, all indexes are created in one physical index, so there would only be four index partitions. For Lucene, the number of physical indexes is determined by the number of levels assigned to the collection, one index per level. So for the above situation, one level would result in four physical indexes, while two levels would result in eight.</p>

    1314<p>This section explains the preferences dialog, accessed by opening "File" -&gt; "Preferences".</p>
    14 <p>The first "General" option is a text field for entering your e-mail address. This will be used for the "creator" and "maintainer" collection metadata items. The next option is a pull-down list of the languages in which the Librarian Interface can be presented. If you change the dictionary by choosing one from the list, you must restart the Librarian Interface in order to load the new language strings from the dictionary.</p>
    15 <p>If "View Extracted Metadata" is checked, the various controls dealing with metadata always show all metadata that has been extracted automatically from documents.  Deselecting it hides this metadata (although it is still available during collection design, and within the final Greenstone collection). If "Show file sizes" is checked, the file size is shown next to each file in the Workspace and Collection file trees in the Gather and Enrich views.</p>
    16 <p>The "Mode" panel is used to control the level of detail within the interface. At its lowest setting, "Library Assistant", the design view is disabled, arguments requiring regular expressions are hidden and the collection building produces a minimal log of events. In contrast the highest setting, "Expert", provides access to all of the features of design, including plugin positioning and regular expression arguments, and also allows the full output from the collection building to be recorded in the logs. To change or review modes, click the radio button next to the mode you are interested in. You can quickly review what mode you are in by looking at the Librarian Interface's title bar.</p>
    17 <p>The Librarian Interface can support different workflows by determining which of the various view tabs are visible.  Use the "Workflow" tab to customise what views are available by checking the boxes next to the views that you want to be available.  Alternatively, use the pull-down list at the bottom to select predetermined configurations.  Closing the preferences dialog establishes these workflow settings.  These settings are stored with the collection, not in the Librarian Interface configuration file.</p>

    1824<p>The "Connection" tab lets you alter the path to the locally-running Greenstone library server, which is used when Previewing collections. It also lets you set proxy information for connecting to the Internet (e.g. when downloading files; see the <a href="downloadingfiles.htm">Downloading Files From the Internet</a> section for details). Check the box to enable proxy connection and supply details of the proxy host address and port number. The proxy connection is established when you close the Preferences dialog.</p>
    19 <p>During the course of a session the Librarian Interface may give warning messages which inform you of possibly unforeseen consequences of an action.  You can disable the messages by checking the "Do not show this warning again" box. You can re-enable warning messages using the "Warnings" tab.  Check the box next to warning messages you want to see again.</p>

     30<p>To edit an index, select it and click "Edit Index". A similar dialog to the "New Index" one is shown. </p>
     31
    1632<p>To remove an index, select it from the list of assigned indexes and click "Remove Index".</p>
    17 <p>To create an index covering text and all metadata, click "Add All".</p>
    18 <p>The default index, the one used on the collection's search page, is tagged with "[Default Index]" in the "Assigned Indexes" list.  To set it, select an index from the list and click "Set Default".</p>
    19 <p>If advanced searching is enabled (via the Search Types view), the index controls are different.  There is a new pseudo-data source "allfields" which provides searching across all specified indexes at once.  Levels are not assigned to a specific index, but apply across all indexes: thus indexes and levels are added separately. "Add All" creates a separate index for each metadata field in this mode.</p>
    20 <p>The name of each index will default to the source name. To change the name, select an index, change its details, and click "Replace Index".</p>
     33
     34<p>The order that the indexes are specified in the Assigned Indexes list is the order they appear in the drop down menu on the search page. Use the "Move Up" and "Move Up" buttons to change this ordering. </p>
     35
     36<p>The one that is selected by default on the search page is called the "default index". This can be set by selecting an index from the list and clicking "Set Default". The default index is tagged with "[Default Index]" in the "Assigned Indexes" list. If no default index is set, the first one in the list will be used as the default.</p>
     37
     38<p>The names used for the drop-down list of indexes on the search page can be set in the "Search" part of the "Format" panel (see <a href="searchmetadatasettings.htm">Search</a>).</p>

    1314<p>Sets of predefined metadata elements are known as "metadata sets".  An example is the Dublin Core metadata set.  When you add a metadata set to your collection, its elements become available for selection.  You can have more than one set; to prevent name clashes a short identifier that identifies the metadata set is pre-pended to the element name.  For instance the Dublin Core element Creator becomes "dc.Creator".  Metadata sets are stored in the Librarian Interface's metadata folder and have the suffix ".mds".</p>
    14 <p>To control the metadata sets used in a collection, use the "Metadata Sets" entry on the Design view.</p>
     15
     16<p>When you create a new collection, the Dublin Core metadata set is added by default. You can change which metadata sets are used in a collection by clicking the "Manage Metadata Sets..." button underneath the Collection Tree in the Enrich view. This brings up a new window for managing the collection's metadata sets.</p>
     17
     18<p>The "Assigned Metadata Sets" list shows you what sets are currently used by the collection.</p>
     19
     20<p>To use another metadata set with the loaded collection, click "Add...". A popup window shows you the default metadata sets that GLI knows about. To add one of these, select it from the list and click "Add". If you have defined your own metadata set, you can use the "Browse" button to locate the file on your file system.</p>
     21
     22<p>To create a new metadata set, click "New...". This will launch the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets, or GEMS. An initial popup window prompts you for the set name, namespace and description. You can also choose to base the new set on an existing one, in which case it will inherit all the elements from the specified set. Click OK. The main window shows the metadata set on the left hand side, and some attributes for the set on the right hand side. If you have based the set on an existing one, there will be one or more elements displayed. Clicking on one of these will display attributes of the element in the right hand side.</p>
     23
     24<p>To add a new element to the set, right click on the set and choose "Add Element". To add a new subelement, right click on the element and choose "Add Subelement". Elements and subelements can be deleted by choosing "Delete (Sub)element" from the right click menu. </p>
     25
     26<p>Note, the Greenstone Editor for Metadata Sets can be run independently of GLI by selecting it from the Greenstone Start menu, or by running gens.sh or gems.bat in the gli folder of your Greenstone installation.</p>
     27
     28<p>Sometimes two metadata sets may have the same namespace, for example, Dublin Core and Qualified Dublin Core both use the namespace "dc". Sets like this cannot be used in the collection at the same time. If you try to add a set with a namespace already used by the collection, a warning will be shown, and if you go ahead with the add, the existing set will be removed and the new set will be added. Any assigned metadata values will be transferred to the new set providing those elements still exist.</p>
     29
     30<p>Editing metadata sets is also done with the GEMS. Clicking the "Edit" button launches GEMS with the specified metadata set open. Once you have finished editing the set (as described above), save it (File-&gt;Save) and close GEMS.</p>
     31
     32<p>If you no longer need a metadata set, select it and press "Remove" to remove it. If you have assigned any metadata to elements in the removed set you will be asked how to deal with this metadata when you next open the collection.</p>

    13 <p>Use the Enrich view to assign metadata to the documents in the collection. Metadata is data about data -- typically title, author, creation date, and so on.  Each metadata item has two parts: "element" tells what kind of item it is (such as author), and "value" gives the value of that metadata element (such as the author's name).</p>
    14 <p>On the left of the "Enrich" view is the Collection Tree.

Editing grey values will only affect those documents with that metadata. Any new metadata values entered will be added to all selected values.</p>
     17
    1518<p>A folder icon may appear beside some metadata entries.  This indicates that the values are inherited from a parent (or ancestor) folder.  Inherited metadata cannot be edited or removed, only appended to or overwritten.  Click on the folder icon to go immediately to the folder where the metadata is assigned.</p>
    16 <p>Clicking on a metadata element in the table will display the existing values for that element in the "Existing values for..." area below the table. The Value Tree expands and collapses.  Usually it is a list that shows all values entered previously for the selected element.  Clicking an entry automatically places it into the value field.  Conversely, typing in the text field selects the Value Tree entry that starts with the characters you have typed.  Pressing [Tab] auto-completes the typing with the selected value.</p>
    17 <p>Metadata values can be organised into a hierarchy. This is shown in the Value Tree using folders for internal levels. Hierarchical values can be entered using the character "|" to separate the levels.  For example, "Cards|Red|Diamonds|Seven" might be used in a hierarchy that represents a pack of playing cards. This enables values to be grouped together. Groups can also be assigned as metadata to files.</p>

    15 <p>Select an item in the tree by clicking it.  (There are other ways; see below.) Double-click a folder, or single-click the switch symbol beside it, to expand (or collapse) its contents.  Double-click a file to open it using its associated application program (see <a href="fileassociations.htm">File Associations</a>).</p>

     19
    1620<p>The Workspace file tree shows the sources of data available to the Librarian Interface -- the local file system (including disk and CD-ROM drives), the contents of existing Greenstone collections, and the cache of downloaded files. You can copy and view these files but you cannot move, delete, or edit them, with the exception of the downloaded files, which can be deleted.  Navigate this space to find the files you want to include in the collection.</p>
     21
    1722<p>The Collection file tree represents the contents of the collection so far.  Initially, it is empty.</p>
     23
    1824<p>You can resize the spaces by mousing over the grey bar that separates the trees (the shape of the pointer changes) and dragging.</p>
     25
    1926<p>At the bottom of the window is a status area that shows the progress of actions involving files (copying, moving and deleting). These can take some time to complete. The "Stop" button stops any action that is currently in progress. </p>
     27
    2028<p>Two large buttons occupy the lower right corner of the screen. "New Folder", with a picture of a folder, creates new folders (see <a href="creatingfolders.htm">Creating Folders</a>). "Delete", with a garbage can, removes files. Clicking the Delete button will remove any selected files from the Collection file tree. Alternatively, files can be deleted by dragging them onto the Delete button. </p>
     29
    2130<p>To select several sequential items, select the first and then hold down [Shift] and click on the last -- the selection will encompass all intervening items.  Select non-sequential files by holding down [Ctrl] while clicking.  Use these two methods together to select groups of non-adjacent items.</p>
    22 <p>Certain folders -- such as the one containing your own web pages -- sometimes have special significance.  The Librarian Interface can map such folders to the first level of the file tree.  To do this, right-click the desired folder.  Select "Create Shortcut", and enter a name for the folder.  To remove an item, right-click the mapped folder and select "Remove Shortcut".</p>

The top half of the screen shows the downloading controls. The bottom half is initially empty, but will show a list of pending and completed downloading jobs. </p>
    14 <p>Files are downloaded into a folder in the workspace called "Downloaded Files" (only present when mirroring is enabled), and can be used in all collections built with the Librarian Interface.  Files in this area are named by their full web URL. A new folder is created for each host, followed by others for each part of the path. This ensures that each file is distinct.</p>
    15 <p>Use the first of the download configuration controls, "Source URL", to enter the URL of a target resource. Use the "Download Depth" control to limit how many  hyperlinks to follow when downloading: Set this to 0 to download a single web page; set it to 1 to download a page and all the pages it points to. The depth limit is ignored when downloading media other than html pages. Next, there are several checkbox controls which can be set to turn on the specified feature for a specific download. Once the configuration is set up, click "Download" to start the new download job. There are two other button controls: "Preferences", which links to the connection section of the Preferences where proxy settings can be edited; and "Clear Cache", which deletes all previously downloaded files.</p>
    16 <p>The download list has an entry for each web page download.  Each entry has a text region that gives details of the task along with a progress bar showing current activity. Three buttons appear to the left of each entry. "Pause" is used for pausing a currently downloading task. "View Log" opens a window showing the download log file. "Close" terminates the download and removes the task from the list.  </p>
    17 <p>The <a href="preferences.htm">Preferences</a> section describes how to establish an Internet connection via a proxy.  If authentication is needed, the proxy server prompts for identification and password.  The Librarian Interface does not store passwords between sessions.</p>

     28<b>SRW:</b> allows downloads of MARCXML records that match a particular search criterion from an SRW server.</p>
     29
     30<p>Select the type of download that you want to carry out by clicking it in the left hand list. The right-hand portion of the downloading controls changes to match the options available for the selected download type. To find out what an option does, hover the mouse over it: a tool-tip explaining the option will appear. Some options are 'optional': these are presented with a check box which must be ticked on for the option to be used. Other options are 'required': these have no check box, and a value must be given for the download to be carried out. </p>
     31
     32<p>Once the configuration is set up, you can click "Server Information" to check the connection to the server and view some basic information about the web page or server, or click "Download" to start the download. There are two other button controls: "Preferences", which links to the connection section of the Preferences where proxy settings can be edited; and "Clear Cache", which deletes all previously downloaded files. You will need to set up the proxy information if you use a proxy server to connect to the Internet. If authentication is needed when a download is being processed, the proxy server will prompt for username and password.  The Librarian Interface does not store passwords between sessions.</p>
     33
     34<p>Files are downloaded into a folder in the workspace called "Downloaded Files" (only present when downloading is enabled), and can be used in all collections built with the Librarian Interface.  Files in this area are named by their full web URL (for Web downloads) or a combination of URL and option values (for other download types). A new folder is created for each host, followed by others for each part of the path. This ensures that each file is distinct.</p>
     35
     36<p>The download list has an entry for each download processed. Each entry has a text region that gives details of the task along with a progress bar showing current activity. Three buttons appear to the left of each entry. "Pause" is used for pausing a currently downloading task. "View Log" opens a window showing the download log file. "Close" terminates the download and removes the task from the list.  </p>
