| Abstract | When individuals request task-relevant spatial content in the form of area maps, GIS applications typically return default maps displaying standard map content. Little effort is made by these applications to present users with personalized maps displaying spatial content tailored to users' specific interests. Maps generated usually contain superfluous information that hinders the user's end goal and is irrelevant in terms of their spatial content preferences. Users may then customize the map through toggling features on and off but this must be done repeatedly whenever they request a map. One solution is to demand explicit input from users, before presenting them with a map, detailing features of interest related to their current task. This, however, proves an expensive answer as the system is reliant on user input. Another solution is to store simplistic profile information whereby the user ticks several feature boxes. While simple customizations could be stored, only basic interaction information is captured in the user profiles. We outline an approach to solving this problem by providing personalized maps whereby only the most relevant spatial content is returned each time a user requests a map. Map personalization is realized by monitoring users' implicit interactions with maps when locating content and regions of interest. User preferences regarding map features and zones of interest are inferred from the actions executed. This is an attractive solution, as it requires no real effort from the user, other than standard usage. All map interactions are captured at the interface and the system learns users' interests by unobtrusively observing their behavior. A persistent user model storing information describing user interests related to spatial content is created and evolves over time. |

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.
