28 | <h2>Greenstone Digital Library Software</h2>
|

|
---|
30 | <p>
|
---|
31 | The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
|
---|
32 | organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on
|
---|
33 | CD-ROM.
|
---|
34 | <p>
|
---|
35 | A digital library is made up of a set of collections.
|
---|
36 | Each collection of information comprises several
|
---|
37 | (typically several thousand, or even several million) documents,
|
---|
38 | which share a uniform searching and browsing interface.
|
---|
39 | Collections can be organized in many different ways while
|
---|
40 | retaining a strong family resemblance.
|
---|
41 | Numerous examples are hosted at the New Zealand Digital Library Project
|
---|
42 | web site (<a href="http://www.nzdl.org">http://www.nzdl.org</a>).
|
---|
43 | <p>
|
---|
44 | Although primarily designed for access over the Web,
|
---|
45 | Greenstone collections can be made available,
|
---|
46 | in precisely the same form, on CD-ROM for standalone PCs.
|
---|
47 | Greenstone CDs work with any version of Microsoft Windows.
|
---|
48 | <p>
|
---|
49 | Greenstone is open-source software,
|
---|
50 | available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
|
---|
51 | The latest version can always be
|
---|
52 | <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/html/DOWNLOAD.html">downloaded</a>
|
---|
53 | from
|
---|
54 | <a href="ftp://nzdl.org/pub/gsdl/">ftp://nzdl.org/pub/gsdl/</a>.
|
---|
55 | Documentation is available in the form of
|
---|
56 | the Greenstone Digital Library Software manual.

95 | Greenstone Digital Library Software is produced by the New Zealand Digital
|
---|
96 | Library project. The current software was designed and implemented by
|
---|
97 | Rodger McNab, Stefan Boddie, Bill Rogers, Hong Chen and Stuart Inglis, and
|
---|
98 | has benefited greatly from previous versions constructed by Craig
|
---|
99 | Nevill-Manning and Todd Reed and previous interface designs by Che
|
---|
100 | Tamahere.
|
---|
101 | <p>
|
---|
102 | The New Zealand Digital Library project is directed by Ian Witten and
|
---|
103 | involves Mark Apperley, David Bainbridge, Sally Jo Cunningham, Steve Jones,
|
---|
104 | Te Taka Keegan, Malika Mahoui and Lloyd Smith as principal investigators.
|
---|
105 | Other researchers who have contributed to the project include Carl Gutwin,

---|
106 | Rob Holte, Gordon Paynter and Bill Teahan.

108 | Greenstone Digital Library Software uses the MG search engine produced
|
---|
109 | principally by Alistair Moffat at the University of Melbourne and described
|
---|
110 | in the book <i>Managing Gigabytes: Compressing and indexing documents and
|
---|
111 | images</i> by Ian H. Witten, Alistair Moffat, and Tim C. Bell (Van Nostrand
