Greenstone is a software for creating and maintaining distributed digital library collections. It provides a sophisticated federation mechanism for the collections. In order to support alerting notification about changes in the distributed collections, we propose a distributed directory service for the management of the distributed Greenstone installations. The Greenstone directory service (GDS...

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...

The Greenstone digital library software is widely used for small to medium digital library collections, but its reputation for creating very large collections is less well established. This paper describes how Greenstone is being used to produce large newspaper collections for the National Libraries of New Zealand and Singapore, respectively. It also describes current developments that integrat...

This paper describes updates to the Greenstone open source digital library software that significantly expand its functionality with respect to music. The first of the two major improvements now allows Greenstone to extract and store classification-oriented features from audio files using a newly updated version of the jAudio software. The second major improvement involves the implementation an...

We propose a user-oriented approach for the automated and scheduled maintenance of Greenstone digital library collections. Existing systems require the user either to add new data manually to a collection, or to have programming knowledge in order to use existing application programming interfaces (APIs) in order to automate scheduled collection updates. The Greenstone Scheduler can automate th...

The Greenstone Digital Library (GSDL) system, developed by the New Zealand Digital Library (NZDL) Consortium at the University of Waikato is a suite of open-source software for building and distributing digital library collections. At the Thai Computational Linguistic (TCL) Laboratory of CRL Asia Research Center, we plan to implement and host digital libraries in several major Asian languages. ...

The Greenstone digital library software is an open-source system for the construction and presentation of information collections. Collections built with Greenstone offer effective full-text searching and metadata-based browsing facilities that are attractive and easy to use. Moreover, they are easily maintainable and can be augmented and rebuilt entirely automatically. The system is extensible...

This chapter illustrates the impact on a well–known digital library system – Greenstone – when it is moved from fixed modules and simple metadata–based structures, to open semantic digital library modules. This change has profound effects on the tools available to end–users to retrieve relevant content from the library, and an equally significant impact on the digital library (DL) architecture....
