Abstract

This note describes how the Greenstone digital library system uses "plugins" to import documents and metadata in different formats, and associate metadata with the appropriate documents. Plugins that import documents can perform their own format conversion internally, or take advantage of existing conversion programs. Metadata can be read from the input documents, or from separate metadata files, or are computed from the documents themselves. New plugins can be written for novel situations.
