| 15 | <dd>Greenstone incorporates plugins for many different file formats. But we are always looking for more! We can write specific plugins on a contractual basis. And of course, we welcome contributions of
|
---|
| 16 | code to enable us to extend Greenstone.</dd>

| 19 | <dd>Extend the Greenstone Librarian Interface to
|
---|
| 20 | allow remote users to prepare metadata and submit documents to a
|
---|
| 21 | central site, and enable a librarian at that site to receive documents
|

|
---|
| 34 | <dd>Currently
|
---|
| 35 | when you add into your collection a file of MARC records, or a
|
---|
| 36 | CDS/ISIS database, or any other bibliography file, the metadata is
|
---|
| 37 | included in the Greenstone collection but does not appear as editable
|
---|
| 38 | GLI metadata. If you want to correct it, you have to go back to the
|
---|
| 39 | original source file. This new feature will (optionally) convert
|
---|
| 40 | bibliographic records into GLI metadata so that you can edit and
|
---|
| 41 | maintain them within GLI. However, you will not then be able to go back
|
---|
| 42 | to your original metadata format. Note that GLI is not a full database
|
---|
| 43 | system and there will be a limit to the number of records it can
|
---|
| 44 | accommodate.</dd>
