title: Greenstone: A comprehensive open-source digital library software system

authors: Witten, Ian H.

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper describes the Greenstone digital library software, a comprehensive, 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: software "plugins" accommodate different document and metadata types.

title: Truth vanishes again: deflationism, assertion, and 'presenting as true'

authors: Wyatt, Jeremy

abstract: In this talk, I'll aim to defend deflationism about the concept of truth from a prominent objection. The objection, due to Dorit Bar-On and Keith Simmons, is that deflationists cannot account for the fact that asserting a proposition involves presenting the proposition as being true. In responding to this objection, I will focus on the influential minimalist account of the concept of truth that has been developed by Paul Horwich. I will motivate an account of ‘presenting as true’ that has been recently proposed by Neri Marsili and then explain why it is fully compatible with minimalism.

title: Estimated catchment loads of nitrogen and phosphorus to the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes

authors: McBride, Chris G.

abstract: The Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes are central to the identity of their region, of immense historical and cultural importance, and provide ecosystem services that underpin biodiversity, conservation and socioeconomic aspirations of the community. The diversity of water quality in the lakes reflects their catchments, which are diverse in topography, hydrogeology and intensity of land use, ranging from the largely undeveloped land around lakes Tikitapu and Okataina, to highly developed forestry and pastoral land around lakes Rerewhakaaitu, Rotorua and Okaro. Lake water quality is strongly linked to nutrients received by each lake from surface flows and groundwater springs. It therefore follows that management of lake water quality requires a good understanding of nutrient loads derived from the landscape, as does the assessment or prediction of the in-lake effects of catchment-based management initiatives aimed at improving lake water quality.
