| Abstract | InQuisiX is an interactive system supporting the development and use of an electronic catalog. Features are provided for organizing the catalog, classifying and describing items, and searching and browsing catalog descriptions. Items described in the catalog are stored elsewhere and are accessed for display or retrieval through end-user tools integrated with InQuisiX. InQuisiX provides public interfaces for loading data, exchanging catalog data with other tools, invoking end-user tools, and making searchable any information stored outside the catalog, such as documents or graphics.Although InQuisiX is being marketed for use in cataloguing reusable software assets, there is nothing inherent in the design or functionality which restricts its use to this domain. Certain features, particularly the ability to invoke and work cooperatively with other automated tools in the development environment, are particularly useful to software developers. Hexible classification and description features are also important for the emerging software reuse market because best practices in classifying and describing software are still a research topic.InQuisiX runs on UNIX/X Window based environments and is currently hosted on both Sun SPARCstations and IBM RISC 6000 workstations. The system has been developed entirely in Classic-Ada, an object-oriented preprocessor for Ada, and uses a custom, automatically generated persistent object base for storing all information, including both the organization and the contents of the catalog, inverted indexes used to support searching, saved queries, and interfaces to end-user tools. The object base is implemented as a single binary file. |

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.
