The Greenstone Digital Library software provides a new way of organizing information and making it available over the Internet or on CD-ROM. It is open-source software, available under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

A digital library is made up of a set of collections. Each collection of information comprises several (typically several thousand, or even several million) documents, which share a uniform searching and browsing interface. Collections can be organized in many different ways while retaining a strong family resemblance.

The New Zealand Digital Library Project is a research programme at The University of Waikato whose aim is to develop the underlying technology for digital libraries and make it available publicly so that others can use it to create their own collections. Greenstone was created to further this objective. Further details are available from http://www.nzdl.org } _textpoem_ {

Kia papapounamu te moana

kia hora te marino,
kia tere te karohirohi,
kia papapounamu te moana

may peace and calmness surround you,
may you reside in the warmth of a summer's haze,
may the ocean of your travels be as smooth as the polished greenstone. } _textgreenstone_ {

Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like this software) is sourced in New Zealand. In traditional Maori society it was the most highly prized and sought after of all substances. It can absorb and hold wairua, which is a spirit or life force, and is endowed with traditional virtues that make it an appropriate emblem for a public-domain digital library project. Its lustre shows charity; its translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp edge it can take, justice. The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital Library Software logo is a patu or fighting club, and is a family heirloom of one of our project members. In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is very quick, very accurate, and very complete. We like to think these qualities also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the patu symbolizing the leading edge of technology. } #------------------------------------------------------------ # icons #------------------------------------------------------------ ## "THE NEW ZEALAND DIGITAL LIBRARY" ## nzdl_heading ## nzdl2gr ## _httpiconnzdl_ {_httpimg_/nzdl2gr.gif} _widthnzdl_ {457} _heightnzdl_ {181} ## "select a collection" ## green_bar_left_aligned ## selcolgr ## _httpiconselcolgr_ {_httpimg_/selcolgr.gif} _widthselcolgr_ {537} _heightselcolgr_ {17} _altselcolgr_ {"Select a collection"} ###################################################################### # external link package package extlink ###################################################################### #------------------------------------------------------------ # text macros #------------------------------------------------------------ _textextlink_ {External Link} _textlinknotfound_{Internal Link not Found} _textextlinkcontent_ {The link you have selected is external to any of your currently selected collections.
