| 12 | The New Zealand Digital Library project is a research programme at
|
---|
| 13 | The University of Waikato whose aim is to develop the underlying
|
---|
| 14 | technology for digital libraries and make it available publicly so that
|
---|
| 15 | others can use it to create their own collections.
|
---|
| 16 | <p />
|
---|
| 17 | Our web site provides several document collections, including historical
|
---|
| 18 | documents, humanitarian and development information, computer
|
---|
| 19 | science technical reports and bibliographies, literary works, and
|
---|
| 20 | magazines. All are available over the Web, and can be accessed
|
---|
| 21 | through searching and browsing interfaces provided by the
|
---|
| 22 | Greenstone digital library software. Behind the query interface lies a
|
---|
| 23 | huge collection providing gigabytes of information. We hope you find
|
---|
| 24 | what you want, or at least something intriguing!

| 36 | A digital library is made up of a set of collections. Each collection of
|

| 37 | information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even

| 38 | several million) documents, which share a uniform searching and
|

| 99 | <p />Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like this software) is sourced
|
---|
| 100 | in New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it was the most highly prized
|
---|
| 101 | and sought after of all substances. It can absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>,
|
---|
| 102 | which is a spirit or life force, and is endowed with traditional virtues
|
---|
| 103 | that make it an appropriate emblem for a public-domain digital library
|
---|
| 104 | project. Its lustre shows charity; its translucence, honesty; its
|
---|
| 105 | toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can take, justice. The carved
|
---|
| 106 | piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library Software logo is a <i>patu</i>
|
---|
| 107 | or fighting club, and is a family heirloom of one of our project members.
|
---|
| 108 | In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very quick, very accurate, and very
|
---|
| 109 | complete. We like to think these qualities also apply to our software, the
|
---|
| 110 | razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i> symbolizing the leading edge of
|
---|
| 111 | technology.

|
---|
| 116 | library collections. It provides a new way of organizing information and
|
---|
| 117 | publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the
|
---|
| 118 | <b>New Zealand Digital Library Project</b> at the <b>University of
|
---|
| 119 | Waikato</b>, and developed and distributed in cooperation with
|
---|
| 120 | <b>UNESCO</b> and the <b>Human Info NGO</b>. It is open-source
|
---|
| 121 | software, available from <a
|
---|
| 122 | href="http://greenstone.org">http://greenstone.org</a> under the terms of
|
---|
| 123 | the GNU General Public License.
|

| 124 |
|
---|
| 125 | <p />The aim of the software is to empower users, particularly in
|
---|
| 126 | universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to
|
---|
| 127 | build their own digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically
|
---|
| 128 | reforming how information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's
|
---|
| 129 | partner communities and institutions in the fields of education,
|
---|
| 130 | science and culture around the world, and particularly in developing
|
---|
| 131 | countries. We hope that this software will encourage the effective
|
---|
| 132 | deployment of digital libraries to share information and place it in
|
---|
| 133 | the public domain.
