摘要：Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital library collections. It is not a digital library but a tool for building digital libraries. It provides a way of organizing information and publishing it on the Internet (or on removable media) in the form of a fully searchable, metadata-driven collection. It has been used to create fully searchable and browsable collections of all kinds of documents, books, photographs, newspaper images, metadata such as library catalogues of MARC records, audio (MP3 files) and video – as well as mixed collections. Most are distributed on the web, but several collections of humanitarian information have been produced on CD-ROM for distribution in developing countries. Greenstone has been used for collections of a small handful of documents up to collections of several million newspaper articles (20 GB of raw text, 2 billion words, 60 million unique terms).
