| Abstract | Ambient media (as synonymous for 'ubiquitous media') are proactive media objects embedded into the natural human environment by recognizing the context of the consumer. A few prominent examples are location based services, implicit personalization, or gesture based human-computer interfaces. More advanced examples have been contributed to the yearly Nokia Ubimedia MindTrek Award (see [1, 2]), or presented during the SAME workshop series (see [3, 4]). Ambient content therefore can be described as ubiquitous overlay of the real physical world. This keynote especially addresses the general notion of ambient media, as based on the research works presented in [5-7]. However, the keynote especially devotes to the question, how the ubiquitous overlay can be connected to the real world. To realize proactive ubiquitous system, the digital overlay can be described as 'digital mind' distributed in time and space over the real world happenings. The ubiquitous system recognizes context, state of human mind, situations, and media system events to be able to react smartly on signaling input. The aim of this keynote is to present context awareness as one of the challenges in ubiquitous system. As an extension to the thoughts presented in [8], context awareness can be described as a system with the capability to explore the temporal/spatial changes in an environment and react to changes autonomously within specific application domains. The idea of this keynote is to merge the ideas of context awareness with the idea of modeling events in multimedia systems (see [9]). Thus, how the digital overlay can be connected to the real-world state based on sensory input modeled as events. One of the current trends is the creation of ontologies for events in multimedia systems. Due to the fact, that many multimedia systems can be modeled as cause-effect relationships linked via event-alike connections (e.g. distributed emergency response systems [9]). Thus they keynote presents how the ubiquitous digital overlay can be linked to the physical world by using 'context aware events'. A few practical examples of existing projects are presented, and shall enrich the keynote with a more application oriented approach.

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.
