128 | <h4>The NZDL system</h4>
|
---|
129 |
|
---|
130 | <p> The New Zealand Digital Library system comprises several demonstration
|
---|
131 | collections -- computer science technical reports and bibliographies, literary
|
---|
132 | works, humanitarian and development information, magazines -- and makes them
|
---|
133 | available over the Web through full-text interfaces. Behind the query
|
---|
134 | interface lies a huge collection providing gigabytes of information. We hope
|
---|
135 | you find what you want, or at least something intriguing!
|
---|
136 |
|
---|
137 | <h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
|
---|
138 |
|
---|
139 | <p> The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of organizing
|
---|
140 | information and making it available over the Internet. A <i>collection</i> of
|
---|
141 | information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even several
|
---|
142 | million) <i>documents</i>, which share a uniform searching and browsing
|
---|
143 | interface. The collections in a library are organized in a different
|
---|
144 | way--though they share a strong family resemblance. Although primarily
|
---|
145 | designed for access over the Web, Greenstone collections can be made available,
|
---|
146 | in precisely the same form, on CD-ROM for standalone PCs. Greenstone is
|
---|
147 | open-source software, available under the terms of the Gnu public linense.
|
---|
148 |
|
---|
149 | <h4>The research</h4>
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
151 | <p> The goal of our research program is to explore the potential of
|
---|
152 | internet-based digital libraries. Our vision is to develop systems that
|
---|
153 | automatically impose structure on anarchic, uncatalogued, distributed
|
---|
154 | repositories of information, thereby providing information consumers with
|
---|
155 | effective tools to locate what they need and to peruse it conveniently and
|
---|
156 | comfortably. Our research objectives are to
|
---|
157 |
|
---|
158 | <ul>
|
---|
159 | <li> develop technology for creating and automatically
|
---|
160 | maintaining collections;
|
---|
161 | <li> monitor usage to study library users' needs;
|
---|
162 | <li> look at novel interfaces that cater to a wide spectrum of users;
|
---|
163 | <li> find ways to abstract layout and bibliographic information
|
---|
164 | from document files;
|
---|
165 | <li> use this information to enhance presentation and for
|
---|
166 | bibliometric research;
|
---|
167 | <li> assess potential subject areas for public-domain collections;
|
---|
168 | <li> survey and critique other digital library projects.
|
---|
169 | </ul>

196 | Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like this software) is sourced in
|
---|
197 | New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it was the most highly prized and
|
---|
198 | sought after of all substances. It can absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is
|
---|
199 | a spirit or life force, and is endowed with traditional virtues that make it an
|
---|
200 | appropriate emblem for a public-domain digital library project. Its lustre
|
---|
201 | shows charity; its translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp
|
---|
202 | edge it can take, justice. The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital
|
---|
203 | Library Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family
|
---|
204 | heirloom of one of our project members. In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is
|
---|
205 | very quick, very accurate, and very complete. We like to think these qualities
|
---|
206 | also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i> symbolizing
|
---|
207 | the leading edge of technology.
