Greenstone Research..

I'm starting to work as a research assistant to my Guru after finishing my exam. The research is to create the digital library for myanmar which will use myanmar unicode font. I faced a problem with myanmar unicode to see with the browser. This myanmar unicode,myanmar2.ttf, doesn't supports in myanmar font so that i used the firefox browser, Deer Park.

Greenstone is the open source software for creating digital library. It can support mutilingual, muti-platform, OAI, Dublin core metadata and so on. Among the digital libraries' software tools, greenstone is the most famous software in order to establish the digital library.

But Greenstone 3.2 or 2.72 cannot support to index or search myanmar unicode even though it can index with lucene properly. If you are interesting in digital library, you can surf and browse here.

Lucene is the search engine. It can index and search the documents by analyzing and tokenizing the word into index. There are so many versions for lucene such as perl, C++, java, .net and so on. You can see the book and example code from manning publishing.

I'm not successfully in doing this research. I had already done round about three weeks and supended them for other publication because it needs to do a lot for this. Just only share my exprience in this.
