Dear Colleagues,

The Greenstone Digital Library software
(http://www.greenstone.org), version 2.70,
provides several new, user-friendly features to
support the conversion of CDS/ISIS databases into
Greenstone digital libraries, in order to either
publish the databases "as is" (as metadata) on
the Web or CD-ROM, or to build a digital library
of your electronic documents by assigning the
associated CDS/ISIS metadata to them.

The improvements include:
* Correct handling of "pseudo-repeatable"
CDS/ISIS fields (non-repeatable fields with
occurrences delimited by "<" and ">" (Indexing
technique 2) or by "/" and "/" (Indexing technique 3).
* Automatic generation of a suitably formatted
record display for "as is" conversion.
* The "replace" function enabling full-text
documents associated with bibliographic records
to be easily integrated as they become available
(i.e. without having to edit the metadata.xml file).

Pablo Morete and I have prepared a detailed guide
entitled "Creating Digital Libraries based on
CDS/ISIS Dabases" which is available in English
and Spanish on the Greenstone wiki, where it can
be accessed from the FAQ plugins section ("How do
I get my CDS/ISIS database into Greenstone?") :
http://greenstone.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/More_about_plugins
and from the Other documentation section:
http://greenstone.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Other_documentation

We invite your feedback in order to help the
Greenstone team to maintain and, if needed, try
to enhance support for CDS/ISIS compatibility and
conversion.
