# homepage (defined in home.dm), so it should appear last in the "macrofiles"

_textprojinfo_ {
<p>
The New Zealand Digital Library project is a research programme at
The University of Waikato whose aim is to develop the underlying
technology for digital libraries and make it available publicly so that
others can use it to create their own collections. 
<p>
Our web site provides several document collections, including historical
documents, humanitarian and development information, computer
science technical reports and bibliographies, literary works, and
magazines. All are available over the Web, and can be accessed
through searching and browsing interfacees provided by the
Greenstone digital library software. Behind the query interface lies a
huge collection providing gigabytes of information. We hope you find
what you want, or at least something intriguing!
}

_titlesoftwareinfo_ {The Greenstone software}

_textsoftwareinfo_ {
<p>
The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on
CD-ROM. It is open-source software, available under the terms of the
Gnu public license. 
<p>
A digital library is made up of a set of collections. Each collection of
information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even
several million) documents, which share a uniform searching and
browsing interface. Collections can be organized in many different
ways while retaining a strong family resemblance.

_titleresearchinfo_ {Our research}

_textresearchinfo_ {
<p>
The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers
with effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it
conveniently and comfortably. 
<p>
Project members are actively working on techniques for creating,
managing, and and mainatining collections; extracting metadata from
legacy documents; analysing library usage and user needs; Maori,
Arabic and Chinese language systems; internationalising the library
interface; optical music recognition and musical collections; novel
interfaces for formulating queries and visualising results; novel
interfaces for browsing metadata; text mining for keyphrases,
acronyms, and other metadata; keyphrase extraction and
phrase-based browsing; and other research topics.
