    128 <h4>The NZDL system</h4>
    129113
    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!
    136114
    137 <h4>The Greenstone software</h4>
    138115
    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.

    149 <h4>The research</h4>
    150116
    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.
