59Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital
60library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
61publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
62<b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
63Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
64<b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is <b>open-source,
65multilingual</b> software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public
66License.

119The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI),
120an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building
121functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged.
122If you haven't already tried it, now is a great
123time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version).
124Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for
125processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a
126collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates
127of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements.

130_t5_ {
131One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a
132configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it,
133several fully-documented example collections have been placed at <a
134href="http://nzdl.org">nzdl.org</a> which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together.

138The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in

146_t7_ {
147The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities,
148libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own
149digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how
150information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities
151and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the
152world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this
153software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to
154share information and place it in the public domain. Further information
155can be found in the book <a href="http://www.nzdl.org/howto">How to build a
156digital library</a>, authored by two of the group's project members.

1109Firstly, the <i>local library</i> is only available if you're running
1110Greenstone under Windows. It's not yet available on Unix.
1111
1112<p>The major difference between the two is that the <i>local library</i>
1113contains it's own built-in webserver. The <i>web library</i> however,
1114requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the
1115<i>local library</i> much easier to install and configure than the web
1116library.</p>
1117
1118<p>For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the
1119<i>local library</i> unless they're sure that they need the <i>web
1120library</i>. Even if you think you might need the <i>web library</i>, try
1121installing the <i>local library</i> first. You can always uninstall it
1122later and install the <i>web library</i> if you then decide you need
1123it.</p>
1124
1125<p>A situation where the <i>web library</i> may be preferable is if you
1126plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the
1127web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the
1128<i>web library</i> in conjunction with an external webserver can
1129provide.</p>
1130
1131<p>Please note that the <i>local library</i> is quite capable of serving
1132Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its
1133rather misleading name).</p>

1142If you're using the Windows <i>local library</i> you should be able to
1143simply select "Greenstone Digital Library" from within the
1144programs in your <i>start</i> menu.
1145
1146<p>If you're using the <i>web library</i> things are a little less obvious
1147however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is
1148running (see the <a href="_httppagex_(docs)">Greenstone Installer's
1149Guide</a> and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then
1150simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's
1151library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone
1152and your webserver. Typically it might be something like
1153http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.</p>
1154}
1155
1156_t224_ {
1157Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in
1158some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are
1159Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of
1160all these browsers will also work.
1161
1162<p>If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with
1163Greenstone, please <a href="_httppagex_(support)">contact us</a>.</p>
1164
1165<p>Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will
1166do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted
1167version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the
1168discussion below on the differences between the "Restricted
1169Version" and the standard "Enter Library" version of the
1170local library for details.</p>
1171}
1172
1173_t225_ {
1174The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software
1175built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your
1176computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may
1177not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some
1178networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any
1179installed on your computer.
1180
1181<p>When you click the "Enter Library" button, Greenstone first
1182checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it
1183does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own
1184networking software.</p>
1185
1186<p>When you click the "Restricted Version" button, Greenstone
1187doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes
1188ahead and uses it's own.</p>
1189
1190<p>The catch is that there are several limitations with using the
1191Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are
1192that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this
1193way (that is, it really will be "local" to the machine on which
1194it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your
1195computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered
1196option.</p>
1197}
1198
1199_t226_ {
1200Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it
1201can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be
1202necessary to run the "Restricted Version" explicitly.
1203
1204<p>Times when it may be necessary are.</p>
1205<ul>
1206<li>If your computer's networking software has been installed incorrectly.</li>
1207<li>If Windows keeps attempting to dial up your internet service provider
1208when you click the "Enter Library" button.</li>
1209</ul>
1210}
1211
1212_t227_ {
1213No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into
1214Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking
1215software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems
1216this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations
1217you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's
1218<i>reload</i> button to continue.
1219
1220<p>If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by
1221clicking the "Restricted Version" button rather than the
1222"Enter Library" button. See the discussion above on the
1223differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local
1224library for further details.</p>

1234displayed" and "Cannot find server or DNS error" at the bottom of the
1235page, check in your network settings that your computer's name is set
1236up correctly. For example, if there is a DNS suffix entered in your
1237TCP/IP properties (in the Control Panel), make sure that your host
1238name and suffix are correct for your computer. If the server is running
1239correctly, you should be able to connect by visiting

1252The initial username required here is <i>admin</i>.

1256password during the installation procedure.</p>
1257
1258<p>If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being

1264
1265_t231_ {
1266This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web
1267browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the
1268URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very
1269long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL
1270lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than
1271can Microsoft Internet Explorer.
1272
1273<p>There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way
1274Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long
1275phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on
1276the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.</p>

1350There are several reasons that the collector might fail to build a
1351collection and the error messages it produces are not always very helpful.
1352
1353<p>If you changed the default configuration during the <i>configure
1354collection</i> stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For
1355example, if you added a new <i>classify</i> or <i>plugin</i> line you'll
1356need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are
1357all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to
1358build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok
1359with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration
1360you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.</p>

1437Our prebuilt Linux and Mac OS X Greenstone distributions are built on machines using Perl 5.6, and these distributions contain a few binary perl modules.

1439On the Mac, our distribution contains modules for both perl 5.6 and 5.8 and the correct one should (hopefully) be installed.

1444<p>
1445To remedy this, you need to remove the "gsdl/perllib/cpan/XML" and "gsdl/perllib/cpan/auto" directories. Then you need to install the perl XML::Parser natively for your system, and get Greenstone to use this instead.
1446<p>
1447On redhat or mandrake, install the .rpm named "perl-XML-Parser", on debian, install the "libxml-parser-perl" package. For other Linuxes, use your distribution's package, or you can get it from <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser-2.34/">http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser-2.34/</a>.

1632_pdfproblems_ {
1633PDF is a "page description language". This means that the document contains
1634objects and commands such as "draw this text here" and "draw this
1635image here".
1636</p>
1637
1638<p>
1639Greenstone uses an external program called "<tt>pdftohtml</tt>" to
1640extract text out of PDF files. Sometimes, there is no text that can be
1641extracted. This often depends on how the PDF was created.
1642
1643<ol>
1644<li>Adobe Acrobat Writer can be used to create PDFs from paper
1645documents that are scanned in by a scanner. In this case, the PDF file
1646contains images of text, rather than computer-readable text. Therefore,
1647<tt>pdftohtml</tt> cannot find any text to extract.</li>
1648
1649<li>Some programs (such as older versions of <tt>GNU ghostscript</tt>,
1650which is used by <tt>ps2pdf</tt> on Unix computers) sometimes create
1651"bitmap fonts", which means that every character in the document is
1652really an image rather than a computer readable letter. The
1653<tt>LaTeX</tt> type-setting program sometimes does this when the
1654"Computer Modern Roman" font is used.</li>
1655
1656<li>Certain characters and character combinations may be extracted incorrectly,
1657depending on the program that generated the PDF file. For example, "ligatures"
1658such as "fi", "fl", "ff" and "ffl" are often rendered using a special glyph
1659rather than as individual characters, and this information may be lost in
1660the textual representation. Also, some PDF generating programs may not
1661correctly encode accented characters. For example, to draw a lowercase "u"
1662with an umlaut accent, LaTeX draws a "u" and then draws an umlaut accent over
1663it. This means that <tt>pdftohtml</tt> will extract two separate characters
1664('š' and 'u') rather than a single accented character (Ì).</li>
1665
1666<li>PDF contains pieces of text, and coordinates for where that text
1667should be displayed. This means that <tt>pdftohtml</tt> may
1668incorrectly guess the order that the text fragments are supposed to
1669occur in. For example, for text that is in two or more columns, the text
1670may be extracted as the first sentence of each column, then the second
1671sentence of each column, and so on. In this case, the extracted text
1672is still usable for indexing purposes, but should not be displayed.
1673
1674In this case, a format statement should be added to the <tt>collect.cfg</tt>
1675file to provide a link to the original PDF file but not to the extracted
1676text, such as:
1677<center>
1678<small><tt>format SearchVList "&lt;td valign=top&gt;[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;[srclink][Title][/srclink]&lt;/td&gt;"</tt></small>
1679</center>
1680</li>
1681
1682<li>Because of the way that images are embedded in PDF files,
1683<tt>pdftohtml</tt> occasionally extracts an image upside-down, or mirrored.
1684This appears to be a bug in the program.</li>

1970The Greenstone translator's interface is a Web tool that presents the
1971English text strings needing translation, and provides boxes for entering
1972the translated text. Once submitted, translations are stored in the
1973appropriate language file. The system automatically determines which text
1974strings need translating or updating, and can easily be used to update a
1975language interface.

1979Generally it is best to use the spreadsheet to create the basic interface
1980and the translation interface to fine tune or update it in the future. In

1982Greenstone language maintainers.
