| Abstract | This paper presents an AI based library system for software reuse, called AIRS, that allows a developer to browse a software library in search of components that best meet some stated requirement. A $\textit{component}$ is described by a set of (feature, term) pairs. A feature represents a classification criterion, and is defined by a set of related terms. The system allows to represent $\textit{packages}$ (logical units that group a set of components) which are also described in terms of features. Candidate reuse components and packages are selected from the library based on the degree of similarity between their descriptions and a given target description. Similarity is quantified by a nonnegative magnitude $(\textit{distance})$ proportional to the effort required to obtain the target given a candidate. Distances are computed by $\textit{comparator}$ functions based on the subsumption, closeness, and $\textit{package}$ relations. We present a formalization of the concepts on which the AIRS system is based. The functionality of a prototype implementation of the AIRS system is illustrated by application to two different software libraries: a set of Ada packages for data structure manipulation, and a set of C components for use in Command, Control, and Information Systems. Finally, we discuss some of the ideas we are currently exploring to automate the construction of AIRS classification libraries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
