    (2018) FUSHIMI, Marcela; PICHININI, Mariana; SANLLORENTI, Ana María; WILLIMAN, Martín
    This paper presents the characteristics and history of the software Greenstone to create and manage digital libraries, initially developed by the University of Waikato, New Zealand in 1997. First, the user community is described at a global level, focusing on the current use that the software has achieved in Argentina: the number of implementations available, their evolution, the type, size and variety of the existing developments, as well as their application to the management of digital repositories of science and technology in the field of scientific, technological and higher education institutions in Argentina. Secondly, the actions carried out after the creation of the National Center for the Promotion of Greenstone in Argentina in 2009 are detailed. Data collected from surveys made it possible to observe that the predominant reasons for choosing this platform were, among others, its ease of installation and configuration, its low level of technological requirements, the general scarcity of human resources dedicated to this activity, and the complexity of the alternative software existing at that time. Throughout these 8 years, both the digital repositories and the systems that support them evolved drastically, modifying the current scenario. In parallel, in 2016 the new major version of Greenstone implemented a complete re-engineering of the software to adapt it to the technologies in use: XML, XSLT, Web-services and Java. As a consequence of this, the local development community poses new challenges for the migration of digital libraries and repositories implemented with previous versions.
