| Abstract | There has been much interest in the use of special purpose processors as the data base management component of data processing systems. The generic terms “backend” and “data management machine” have been applied to such devices. Examination of the literature reveals a broad cross section of host to backend functional distribution and interconnection methodology. This discussion represents an attempt to examine and classify several of these backend data base management machine configurations in terms of their operational parameters and application constraints. A formal taxonomy of such systems remains yet to be performed. At least three distinct classes of data management machine (DMM) are evidenced in the literature; they are the large host backend, distributed network data node and smart peripheral. The intended classes of problem that the various authors envision amenable to solution by the DMM approach exhibit overlap while the performance envelope in which each DMM architecture would provide a technically acceptable, economically sound solution to a given user requirement set varies. Some of the papers used as source for this work contained no explicit mention of either the problem classes or performance constraints that the described configuration was to address; thus liberty has been taken in interpreting the implicit application goals of these authors. |

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.
