| Abstract | Our discussion of the motivation for extensible languages rests on a basic premise, namely that there exist diverse programming language requirements which are becoming continually more diverse, and that it is of critical importance that each user in the spectrum of users be supplied with a language facility appropriate to his problem area. That is, there are, in fact, "scientific" problems, "data processing" problems," information retrieval" problems, "symbol manipulation" problems, "system programming" problems, and so on and each problem area has its particular and peculiar units of data, unit transactions, and preferred ways of writing. For example, the kinds of unit data and unit transactions include integers which are to be added, floating point numbers to be multiplied, "infinite" precision rational numbers to be divided, strings to be concatenated, records into which a field is to be inserted, files to be sorted, matrices to be inverted, equations to be simplified, sets to be unioned, and so on. A part of our premise is that it is not enough to have a language which is formally sufficient to host the particular data and unit transactions some user has in mind. Rather, it is of critical importance that the kinds of data and unit transactions which he wants to think of as primitive be available, effectively as primitives, in his language facility. |

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.
