| Abstract | The user-computer interface is often the major impediment to successful use of interactive computer graphics systems. Design of the interface is often thought of as art rather than science, and suffers from lack of formalisms, models, tools, and methodical design approaches. Slowly, the design process is becoming more structured, and more formal tools are becoming available.This paper describes the User Interface Design Environment (VIDE), a knowledge-based system to assist in user interface design and implementation. At the heart of UIDE is a representation of the conceptual design of a user interface. This design includes: the class hierarchy of objects which exist in the system (only single inheritance is currently supported), properties of the objects, actions which can be performed on the objects, units of information required by the actions, and pre- and post-conditions for the actions. The conceptual design and related information is used to: check the interface design for consistency and completeness via the Knowledge Acquisition In a Man-machine Interface system (KAIMI), transform the knowledge base, and hence the user interface it represents into a different but functionally-equivalent interface via the Transformation Algorithms system (TA), evaluate the interface design with respect to speed of use, with the keystroke Analysis Tool as input to a Simple User Interface Management System (SUIMS) which implements the user interface, automatically generate intelligent run-time help to the end-user via the Help Support system (HS), and produce a printed description of the design in the Interface Definition Language (IDL). IDL has been developed to present the conceptual design of the user interface in a structured and readable representation.UIDE goes beyond the capabilities of the typical User Interface Management System (UIMS), which requires the designer to work at the syntactic and lexical levels of design and hence to focus on command names, screen and icon design, menu organization, sequencing rules, and interaction techniques. UIDE provides a higher-level conceptual design tool that facilitates the iterative design process of specification, generation, and evaluation. |

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.
