| Abstract | Governments use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in various ways to include the public into decision-making processes, and online public participation is one of the participatory activities included in open government plans. Using data from comments posted on an online deliberative platform initiated by a municipal government, this paper explores how ideation naturally emerged in the deliberation process and examines the role of participants in each stage of the ideation process. We identified five dimensions in the ideation process: idea proposal, idea reception, idea development, idea closure, and idea implementation. In the online forum that we examined, the comments referred to idea reception, idea development, and idea closure. We found that the dimensions and patterns of ideation were related to the level of controversy of particular issues. More specifically, when we examined the ideation processes by level of idea controversy, we observed that more disagreements led to more activity in stage I of idea development (informing, commentary, and clarifying). We also identified nine different roles performed by participants: supporting, disagreeing, informing, clarifying, commentary, arguing, expanding, wrapping, and mobilizing. This paper concludes with lessons for the design and implementation of online public participation processes. |

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.
