It provides a new way of 35 organizing information and publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. 36 Greenstone is produced by the New Zealand Digital Library Project at the 37 University of Waikato, and distributed in cooperation with UNESCO and the 38 Humanities Library Project. It is open-source software, available from 39 <i>http://nzdl.org</i> under the terms of the GNU General Public License. 40 <br><br> 41 </td> 42 </tr> 43 <tr> 44 <td valign=top align=center> 45 <h2><a href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a></h2> 46 </td> 47 <td valign=top> 48 The New Zealand Digital Library website (<a href="http://nzdl.org">http://nzdl.org</a>) contains 49 numerous example collections, all created with the Greenstone software, which 50 are publicly availabel for you to peruse.

It also includes complete 64 source code for the system, which can be compiled using Microsoft C++ or gcc 65 Greenstone works with associated software that is freely available: the Apache 66 Webserver and PERL.

For example, the <i>Humanity Development Library</i> contains 1,230 78 publications ranging from accounting to water sanitation. It runs on minimal 79 computing facilities such as those typically found in developing countries. The 80 information can be accessed by searching, browsing by subject, browsing by 81 titles, browsing by organization, browsing a list of how-tos, and by randomly 82 viewing the book covers. 83 <br><br> 84 </td> 85 </tr> 86 <tr> 87 <td valign=top align=center> 88 <h2>customisation</h2> 89 </td> 90 <td valign=top> 91 Greenstone is specifically designed to be highly extensible and 92 customisable. New document and metadata formats are accommodated by writing 93 "plugins" (in Perl). Analogously, new metadata browsing structures can be 94 implemented by writing "classifiers." The user interface look-and-feel can be 95 altered using "macros" written in a simple macro language. A Corba protocol 96 allows agents (e.g. in Java) to use all the facilities associated with document 97 collections. Finally, the source code, in C++ and Perl, is available and 98 accessible for modification. 99 <br><br> 100 </td> 101 </tr> 102 <tr> 103 <td valign=top align=center> 104 <h2>documentation</h2> 105 </td> 106 <td valign=top> 107 There are three documents that explain the Greenstone system: 108 <ul> 109 <li> The Greenstone Digital Library Software Installer's Guide 110 <li> The Greenstone Digital Library Software User's Guide 111 <li> The Greenstone Digital Library Software Developer's Guide 112 </ul><br> 113 </tr> 114 <tr> 115 <td valign=top align=center> 116 <h2>mailing list</h2> 117 </td> 118 <td valign=top> 119 There is a mailing list intended primarily for discussions about the Greenstone 120 digital library software.
