| Abstract | Many spatial applications require the ability to display locations of geographic data entries on an online map. For example, an online photo-sharing service may wish to display photos (as thumbnails) according to where they were taken. Since displaying geographic data entries as thumbnails or icons on a map requires some amount of space, displayed entries can overlap each other. As a result, we may wish to discard less popular or older entries (based on a given measure of importance) so that these more popular or newer entries become more distinct. A straightforward solution is to apply a spatial database extension such as PostGIS (i) to retrieve entries within a given display window; (ii) to discard entries in proximity of a more important one. In this paper, we demonstrate our method for efficiently selecting distinct entries from a large geographical point set. Specifically, our demonstration software presents a voting system built upon an ensemble of interrelated indexes, which is the main novelty of our query processing method. This allows us to efficiently determine the degree of distinctiveness of all entries within a query window using simple index traversal operations rather than expensive spatial operations. The effectiveness of our method in comparison to a traditional spatial query is shown by our experimental results using a real dataset of over 9 million locations. These experimental results show that our proposed method is capable of consistently producing subsecond response times, while the spatial query-based method takes more than 10 seconds on average in a low spatial selectivity setting. |

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.
