It provides a new way of organizing information and publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM. Greenstone is produced by the New Zealand Digital Library Project at the University of Waikato, and developed and distributed in cooperation with UNESCO and the Human Info NGO. It is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License. } _namur_{ The Greenstone project is the seventh recipient of the biennial Namur award, which recognizes recipients for raising awareness internationally of the social implications of information and communication technologies. } _t3_ { UNESCO is running regional training workshops on the use of Greenstone. In 2003 they were in Bangalore, India in August; Dakar, Senegal in September, and Suva, Fiji in November. } _t3.save_ {Here is a package of all material that we prepared for the Suva workshop: lectures, labs, documents, test files, etc. It focuses on building collections with the Librarian Interface. Please feel free to use it for learning -- or teaching! -- Greenstone. } _cdrom_ { The UNESCO CD-ROM containing Greenstone 2.50, plus all documentation (English/French/Spanish/Russian), plus 11 documented example collections, plus associated software like Java and ImageMagick, is available at no charge from Jean-Claude Dauphin (jc.dauphin@unesco.org) or Susannah Farey (s.farey@unesco.org). Here is a list of known issues, with hints on how to sidestep them. } _gsdl251_ { Download Greenstone v2.51, which includes numerous small bug fixes to v2.50, new LaTeX and MP3 plugins, collection-specific macrofiles, the ability to do string comparisons ("eq" and "ne") in {If\} statements, and "I'm feeling lucky" functionality (like Google). It also contains an upgraded version of pdftohtml for better PDF processing. Like 2.50, it includes the Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI), an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building functionality. } _upgradeyourgreenstoneinstallation_ { If you are running the Local Library server on Windows, you can download a small package to upgrade from Greenstone 2.50 to 2.51. } _glp251_ { Download all the language interfaces available for the Greenstone digital library software (version 2.51 only): the four "core" languages English, French, Spanish, Russian; and interfaces for Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, Farsi, Finnish, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Maori, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Serbian, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian. } _support_ { We have reorganised our Support page, and included some new information about donations to the Greenstone project, contract research and commercial support. } _t4_ { Download Greenstone v2.50. The Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI), an easy-to-use frontend to Greenstone's collection-building functionality, has been extensively user tested and debugged. If you haven't already tried it, now is a great time to do so (and if you ran into problems before, please try this new version). Greenstone 2.50 also includes the new (and already very popular) PagedImgPlug plugin for processing sequences of page images, a new classifier that displays a collage of the images in a collection, provision for incremental updates of Greenstone in the future, and many other bug fixes and improvements. } _t5_ { One of the trickier parts of using Greenstone is coming up with a configuration file for your collection. To help learn how to do it, several fully-documented example collections have been placed at nzdl.org which explain, on the collection home page, just how they have been put together. } _t6_ { The complete Greenstone interface, and all documentation, is available in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Kazakh. Greenstone also has interfaces in many other languages. We are looking for volunteers to add new language interfaces and help maintain existing ones. } _t7_ { The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own digital libraries. Digital libraries are radically reforming how information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the world, and particularly in developing countries. We hope that this software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to share information and place it in the public domain. Further information can be found in the book How to build a digital library, authored by two of the group's project members. } _t8_ { Also, the collect.cfg files for many of the collections at www.nzdl.org have been made available here. } _t9_ { This software is developed and distributed as an international cooperative effort established in August 2000 among three parties. } _t10_ { New Zealand Digital Library Project at the University of Waikato } _t11_ { Greenstone software grew out of this project, and this initiative has been endorsed by the Communication Sub-Commission of the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO as part of New Zealand's contribution to UNESCO's programme. } _t12_ { United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization } _t13_ { The dissemination of educational, scientific and cultural information throughout the world, and particularly its availability in developing countries, is central to UNESCO's goals as pursued within its intergovernmental Information for All Programme, and appropriate, accessible information and communication technology is seen as an important tool in this context. } _t14_ { The Human Info NGO, based in Antwerp, Belgium } _t15_ { This project works with UN agencies and other NGOs, and has established a worldwide reputation for digitizing documentation of interest to human development and making it widely available, free of charge to developing nations and on a cost-recovery basis to others. } _t16_ { If you download Greenstone and install it with standard demonstration collections, or if you install it from the Greenstone CD-ROM, it will look exactly like this. } ####################################################################### package download _t18_ {Download Greenstone} _t19_ { Greenstone is open-source software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. It runs on Windows and Unix, and both source code and binaries are available for download. It is fully documented in English, French, Spanish and Russian. } _t20_ { Select the Greenstone distribution you require from the list below. Each distribution provides a complete interface in English, French, Spanish and Russian. } _t21_ { Each distribution also includes the "Greenstone Librarian Interface", a graphical tool for building digital libraries. It gives you access to Greenstone's functionality from an easy-to-use 'point and click' interface. To use this tool you will need a suitable Java Run-time Environment, which you can download via here -- the latest version is currently 1.4.2 (then choose the JRE, not the SDK). } _t22_ {Windows distribution} _t23_ { This is the distribution you want if you're going to run Greenstone under any 32 bit Windows environment (that is, Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP etc.). } _t24_ { Note that Greenstone will also run on 16 bit Windows (that is, Windows 3.1/3.11). The installer program used by this distribution will not work on these versions of Windows however. Please contact us if you need a version of Greenstone for 16 bit Windows. } _t25_ { Using this distribution you may either install the "local library", the "web library", or install and compile the source code (click here for a description of the differences between the "local library" and the "web library"). You will be asked which form of Greenstone you want during the installation process. } _t26_ { This distribution includes everything you need to run Greenstone (including a pre-built demonstration collection) and to build new Greenstone collections. Some functionality is not included however, mostly in an attempt to keep the distribution as small as possible. See below for details on how to get this missing functionality. } _t27_ { This distribution uses a standard Windows installer program, simply download the file and double-click it to install (see the Installer's Guide for more detailed installation instructions). } _t28_ {Unix distribution} _t29_ { This is the recommended distribution if you're installing Greenstone on any form of Unix. } _t30_ { This distribution comes with statically linked linux binaries.

It includes the pre-built binaries and also includes the demonstration collection, pre-built. This distribution also includes the Greenstone Librarian Interface for building collections. } _t36_ {Source only distribution} _t37_ { This distribution contains the Greenstone source code along with the same demonstration collection as the distributions above (although the collection is not pre-built in this distribution). } _t38_ { This distribution does not have an automated installation procedure (running Install.sh will not work). Unless you're sure you know what you're doing you probably want one of the distributions above, both of which also contain the Greenstone source. Note that you can obtain an up-to-date version of the Greenstone source code at any time by using cvs. } _t39_ { The following extra packages may be downloaded and installed along with an existing Greenstone installation to add functionality that was left out of the distributions above. } _langpack_ {Greenstone Language Pack} _langpackdesc_ { This package contains the interface to Greenstone in various different language versions; see here for details. } _t40_ {Export to CD-ROM package} _t41_ { This package enables the "export to CD-ROM" function from within the Greenstone Librarian Interface and the Collector. } _t42_ { To install, simply download the file (it will work on both Windows and Unix with Greenstone 2.50) and extract the zip archive into the gsdl\\bin\\windows directory of your existing Greenstone installation. } _t43_ { The following utilities have been developed to be used along with Greenstone. } _dlteachingmaterial_ {A package of all material prepared for various Greenstone workshops.} _dlteachingmaterialdesc_ {See here for details.} _t44_ {The Organizer} _t45_ { The Organizer is a Windows application useful for automatically generating many of the configuration files (metadata.xml, sub.txt etc.) required by complex Greenstone collections. } _t46_ { To install, simply download and double-click the self-extracting executable file. } ####################################################################### package examples _t47_ {Examples of Greenstone in Action} _t48_ {New Zealand Digital Library Project} _t49_ { A demonstration site set up by the developers of Greenstone, the New Zealand Digital Library Project.

It's not yet available on Unix.

The major difference between the two is that the local library contains it's own built-in webserver. The web library however, requires an external webserver like Apache or Microsoft IIS. This makes the local library much easier to install and configure than the web library.

For this reason, it's recommended that Windows users install the local library unless they're sure that they need the web library. Even if you think you might need the web library, try installing the local library first. You can always uninstall it later and install the web library if you then decide you need it.

A situation where the web library may be preferable is if you plan to serve your Greenstone collections as a full-time service on the web. In this case you'll probably want the added stability that running the web library in conjunction with an external webserver can provide.

Please note that the local library is quite capable of serving Greenstone collections over a local area network or the web (despite its rather misleading name).

} ####################################################################### package faqrun _t223_ { If you're using the Windows local library you should be able to simply select "Greenstone Digital Library" from within the programs in your start menu.

If you're using the web library things are a little less obvious however. First make sure your webserver is configured correctly and is running (see the Greenstone Installer's Guide and your webserver's documentation for details). You can then simply open your web browser and point it at the URL of Greenstone's library executable. This is dependant on the way you configured Greenstone and your webserver. Typically it might be something like http://localhost/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.exe.

} _t224_ { Greenstone relies on a web browser that supports tables, javascript, and in some places, frames. Any reasonably modern browser will do. Examples are Microsoft Internet Explorer 4, Netscape 4, and Mozilla. Newer releases of all these browsers will also work.

If you find that your favourite web browser does not work with Greenstone, please contact us.

Note that there is an exception to the rule that any modern browser will do when running Greenstone. That is when you're using the restricted version of the Windows local library when you must use Netscape. See the discussion below on the differences between the "Restricted Version" and the standard "Enter Library" version of the local library for details.

} _t225_ { The webserver built into the local library uses the networking software built into your Windows operating system in order to function. If your computer has never been connected to a network this networking software may not be installed however. For this reason Greenstone comes with some networking software of it's own that it will use if it can't find any installed on your computer.

When you click the "Enter Library" button, Greenstone first checks to see if your computer has it's own networking software. If it does, it starts up using that, if not it starts up using it's own networking software.

When you click the "Restricted Version" button, Greenstone doesn't bother checking your system for networking software, it just goes ahead and uses it's own.

The catch is that there are several limitations with using the Greenstone supplied networking software. The most important limitations are that the local library won't be accessible from the network if run in this way (that is, it really will be "local" to the machine on which it's running) and that it must use a Netscape web browser. Using your computer's built-in networking software is therefore the prefered option.

} _t226_ { Since Greenstone will automatically use it's own networking software if it can't find any installed on your computer it should not normally be necessary to run the "Restricted Version" explicitly.

Times when it may be necessary are.

} _t227_ { No you don't need to be online. This is caused by the webserver built into Greenstone's local library sending a message to your computer's networking software to make sure it's functioning correctly. On many Windows systems this causes the familiar dial up dialog box to appear. In most situations you can simply cancel the dialog box and (if required) press your browser's reload button to continue.

If this does not solve the problem, try starting the local library by clicking the "Restricted Version" button rather than the "Enter Library" button. See the discussion above on the differences between the standard and restricted versions of the local library for further details.

} _t228_ {
  1. Check your web browser's internet proxy settings and turn proxies off (use Edit preferences on Netscape or Internet options on Explorer).
  2. If Internet Explorer gives a message saying "The page cannot be displayed" and "Cannot find server or DNS error" at the bottom of the page, check in your network settings that your computer's name is set up correctly. For example, if there is a DNS suffix entered in your TCP/IP properties (in the Control Panel), make sure that your host name and suffix are correct for your computer. If the server is running correctly, you should be able to connect by visiting http://127.0.0.1/ in a web browser on the same machine that the local library is running on.
} _t229_ { Collections like those at www.nzdl.org will soon be made available for download. } _t230_ { The initial username required here is admin.

If you installed Greenstone using the InstallShield installer on Windows or the Install.sh script on Unix you should have been asked to set a password during the installation procedure.

If you didn't, don't worry, the password defaults to being admin.

So if you don't know what to enter you should try username = admin, password = admin.

} _t231_ { This may be caused by the URL becoming too long for your web browser. Because Greenstone currently stores all state information in the URL, if you do a search for a long phrase the URL can become very long. Different browser's on different platforms have different maximum URL lengths but in general it seems that Netscape can handle longer URLs than can Microsoft Internet Explorer.

There is very little you can do to avoid this problem with the way Greenstone is currently implemented (aside from not searching for long phrases). Future versions of Greenstone may store some state information on the server rather than in the URL but this has yet to be implemented.

If you changed the default configuration during the configure collection stage you'll need to make sure the changes were valid. For example, if you added a new classify or plugin line you'll need to make sure that the classifier and/or plugin names and arguments are all correct. If they're not the collector will fail. A good test is to build your collection without changing the configuration. If it builds ok with the default configuration but fails after you change the configuration you'll need to look closely at the changes you're making.

Another good thing to do if having problems with the collector is to build your collection from the command line instead. You'll get much more feedback to help debug problems when building in this way. For details on how to build a collection from the command line see the Greenstone developer's guide.

These images can be generated by copying the two ## blocks from above into a temp file and running translate.pl on it eg.
translate.pl -language_symbol en temp.dm

To add the images in other languages, you need to edit the appropriate language macro file, and add the same items as for english.dm. And run the translate script to generate the images.

English versions of the images should be placed in the $GSDLHOME/images directory, while other language versions should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of $GSDLHOME/images, for example $GSDLHOME/images/fr for french images. } _tfaqbuildexpatbody_ { Our prebuilt Linux and Mac OS X Greenstone distributions are built on machines using Perl 5.6, and these distributions contain a few binary perl modules. These cause problems if you are using a recent version of perl like 5.8 or 5.8.1 (you can type "perl -v" from the command line to see the version).

On the Mac, our distribution contains modules for both perl 5.6 and 5.8 and the correct one should (hopefully) be installed.

A typical error message during import.pl would be:

Uncaught exception from user code: Can't load '/home/httpd/gsdl/perllib/cpan/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so' for module XML::Parser::Expat: /home/httpd/gsdl/perllib/cpan/auto/XML/Parser/Expat/Expat.so: undefined symbol: PL_sv_undef at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at /home/httpd/gsdl/perllib/cpan/XML/Parser.pm line 14

To remedy this, you need to remove the "gsdl/perllib/cpan/XML" and "gsdl/perllib/cpan/auto" directories. Then you need to install the perl XML::Parser natively for your system, and get Greenstone to use this instead.

On redhat or mandrake, install the .rpm named "perl-XML-Parser", on debian, install the "libxml-parser-perl" package. For other Linuxes, use your distribution's package, or you can get it from http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser-2.34/.

, so skip first and last ones # _pdfproblems_ { PDF is a "page description language". This means that the document contains objects and commands such as "draw this text here" and "draw this image here".

Greenstone uses an external program called "pdftohtml" to extract text out of PDF files. Sometimes, there is no text that can be extracted. This often depends on how the PDF was created.

  1. Adobe Acrobat Writer can be used to create PDFs from paper documents that are scanned in by a scanner. In this case, the PDF file contains images of text, rather than computer-readable text. Therefore, pdftohtml cannot find any text to extract.
  2. Some programs (such as older versions of GNU ghostscript, which is used by ps2pdf on Unix computers) sometimes create "bitmap fonts", which means that every character in the document is really an image rather than a computer readable letter. The LaTeX type-setting program sometimes does this when the "Computer Modern Roman" font is used.
  3. Certain characters and character combinations may be extracted incorrectly, depending on the program that generated the PDF file. For example, "ligatures" such as "fi", "fl", "ff" and "ffl" are often rendered using a special glyph rather than as individual characters, and this information may be lost in the textual representation. Also, some PDF generating programs may not correctly encode accented characters. For example, to draw a lowercase "u" with an umlaut accent, LaTeX draws a "u" and then draws an umlaut accent over it. This means that pdftohtml will extract two separate characters ('¨' and 'u') rather than a single accented character (ü).
  4. PDF contains pieces of text, and coordinates for where that text should be displayed. This means that pdftohtml may incorrectly guess the order that the text fragments are supposed to occur in. For example, for text that is in two or more columns, the text may be extracted as the first sentence of each column, then the second sentence of each column, and so on. In this case, the extracted text is still usable for indexing purposes, but should not be displayed. In this case, a format statement should be added to the collect.cfg file to provide a link to the original PDF file but not to the extracted text, such as:
    format SearchVList "<td valign=top>[srclink][srcicon][/srclink]</td> <td>[srclink][Title][/srclink]</td>"
  5. Because of the way that images are embedded in PDF files, pdftohtml occasionally extracts an image upside-down, or mirrored. This appears to be a bug in the program.
