Abstract | Thanks to initiatives like Linked Data and Open Government Data, the Semantic Web is evolving toward an open web of data, where anyone - from large public administrations to single web users - can publish data in different formats and make them part of a huge global space of knowledge. Several good practices have been proposed to increase the effectiveness of data publication, including the well-known linked data principles and the 5-star scheme for open data. In this talk, I will stress a good practice which is not addressed yet, namely the need to decouple the URIs which identify non-digital resources (I call them entities, like people, organizations, products, events, location) from the URIs which point to a specific dataset about the same entity (for example, the URI for Amman in DBpedia). I will argue that this is indeed a potential 6th star on top of the Berners-Lee's 5-star scheme and may lead to a truly entity-centic (semantic) web. In the talk, I will show how this can be technically achieved through an open service called Entity Name System - ENS (developed as part of the EU co-funded project OKKAM). I will then illustrate the great advantages of this practice, the new uses which are enabled by its adoption and a few examples of applications in different domains, from tax collection to the creation of smart QR-codes for products. |

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.
