37<h4>The NZDL system</h4>
38
39<p> The New Zealand Digital Library system comprises several demonstration
40collections -- computer science technical reports and bibliographies,
41literary works, humanitarian and development information, magazines -- and
42makes them available over the Web through full-text interfaces. Behind the
43query interface lies a huge collection providing gigabytes of information.
44We hope you find what you want, or at least something intriguing!
45
46<h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
47
48<p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of
49organizing information and making it available over the Internet. A
50<i>collection</i> of information comprises several (typically several
51thousand, or even several million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform
52searching and browsing interface. The collections in a library are
53organized in a different way--though they share a strong family
54resemblance. Although primarily designed for access over the Web,
55Greenstone collections can be made available, in precisely the same form,
56on CD-ROM for standalone PCs. Greenstone is open-source software,
57available under the terms of the Gnu public license.
58<p>The following websites are among those currently using Greenstone. <i>Note that these
59sites are under development.</i>
60<ul>
61<li><a href="http://sequence.rutgers.edu/cgi-bin/library?a=p&p=home">Rutgers University</a>
62<li><a href="http://csdl1.mdx.ac.uk/">Middlesex University</a>

65<h4>The research</h4>
66
67<p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
68internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
69automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
70repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with
71effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and
72comfortably. Our research objectives are to
73
74<ul>
75 <li> develop technology for creating and automatically
76 maintaining collections;
77 <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs;
78 <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users;
79 <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information
80 from document files;
81 <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for
82 bibliometric research;
83 <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections;
84 <li> survey and critique other digital library projects.
85</ul>

121_textgreenstone_ { <p><br> Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like
122this software) is sourced in New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it
123was the most highly prized and sought after of all substances. It can
124absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is a spirit or life force, and is
125endowed with traditional virtues that make it an appropriate emblem for a
126public-domain digital library project. Its lustre shows charity; its
127translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can
128take, justice. The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library
129Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family heirloom
130of one of our project members. In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very
131quick, very accurate, and very complete. We like to think these qualities
132also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i>
133symbolizing the leading edge of technology.

364_content_ {
365_iconblankbar_
366<p>There are several freely available technologies underlying the New Zealand
367Digital Library:
368<ul>
369<li><a href="_httppagex_(gsdlsoft)"><i>Greenstone</i></a>, the digital
370library system that generates each and every page of this website.<p>
371
372<li><a href="_httppagex_(prescript)"><i>PreScript</i></a>, a system
373that converts PostScript to plain ASCII or HTML, detects paragraph boundaries,
374removes hyphenation, and interprets many ligatures.<p>
375
376<li><a href="_httppagex_(mg)"><i>MG</i></a>, an enhancement of the <a
377href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/mg"><i>Managing Gigabytes</i></a> full-text
378retrieval system, that provides flexible stemming methods, weighting terms,
379term frequencies, merged indexes, machine independent indexes, and a port to
380MSDOS.<p>
381
382<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/sequitur"><i>Sequitur</i></a>, a
383method for inferring compositional hierarchies from strings by detecting
384repetition and factoring it out of the string by forming rules in a
385grammar. The rules can be composed of non-terminals, giving rise to a
386hierarchy. Sequitur is useful for recognizing lexical structure in strings,
387and excels at very long sequences.<p>
388
389<li><a href="http://www.nzdl.org/Kea"><i>Kea</i></a>, a program for
390automatically extracting keyphrases from the full text of documents. Candidate
391keyphrases are identified using rudimentary lexical processing, features are
392computed for each candidate, and machine learning is used to generate a
393classifier that determines which candidates should be assigned as
394keyphrases. <p>
395
396<li><a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~stevej/Research/Phrasier/"><i>Phrasier</i></a>, a
397tool to support information seeking activities in a digital library. Its novel design
398reflects the fact that reading, writing, browsing and searching activities are rarely
399carried out independently of each other. They overlap and interleave in ways which have
400not been effectively supported by conventional information retrieval interfaces. Consequenly
401Phrasier blurs the distinction between writing a document and finding material related to it;
402between reading a document and finding others on the same or similar topics; between keyword
403searching and subject browsing. <p>
