Abstract | The Twitter accounts of 56 ministries of 17 EU countries are recorded along with their followers. The mentions/replies (m/r) network of the followers for each account is constructed in order to study whether it demonstrates community characteristics. Clustering coefficient, assortativity and degree skewnness are used as network indexes to explore whether m/r networks constitute small-worlds and scale-free networks. These indexes are then associated with Twitter performance and activity indexes to explore how m/r networks differentiate across accounts of different popularity and performance. Findings are provided for both the individual accounts and for the aggregate data of the countries which the accounts belong to. The m/r networks could be scale-free networks but not small-worlds. Skewnness is high but assortativity and clustering coefficient are, on average, equal to zero. M/r networks cannot be considered to form communities of followers. Accounts and countries with accounts of high Twitter performance offer even less evidence that followers constitute communities. |

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.
