Extending Greenstone for Institutional Repositories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the problem of designing a generalized system for building institutional repositories. Widely used schemes such as DSpace are tailored to a particular set of requirements: fixed metadata set; standard view when searching and browsing; pre-determined sequence for depositing items; built-in workflow for vetting new items. In contrast, Fedora builds in flexibility: institutional repositories are just one possible instantiation—however generality incurs a high overhead and uptake has been sluggish. This paper shows how existing components of the Greenstone software can be repurposed to provide a generalized institutional repository that falls between these extremes.

Upper crust of the Pilbara Craton, Australia; 3D geometry of a granite/greenstone terrain
The Pilbara Craton in Northwest Australia is a 600×550 km region of early-mid Archaean granite/greenstone terrain, dominated by granite domes, and in part covered by younger rocks. Gravity and magnetic anomalies are used to map the granite/greenstone surface under cover, and infer the depth extent of the granite/greenstone structures. A published seismic refraction interpretation gives a two la...
