| Abstract | Currently, there is more and more interest in geo-spatial data sources providing rich information about a huge number of interconnected geo-entities and points of interest located in the real world. Moreover, this kind of sources is one of the first to be published as linked open data. Noteworthy examples are the Geonames and GeoLinkedData initiatives. On the one hand, making available more data sources as linked open data allows querying the sources in an integrated way. On the other hand, it is known that content of geo-spatial data sources suffers from various drawbacks, mainly concerning data quality and conflicts. In this context, relevant feedbacks from users with specific experience and knowledge about POIs in a certain spatial region are considered valuable contributions to improve data quality and solve description conflicts. In this context, we propose a conceptual framework called M-PREGeD (Multi-Providers cRowd-Enhanced Geo linked Data) devoted to collect, organize and rank user-generated corrections and completions to improve accuracy and completeness of Geo-spatial Linked Data from different data sources. Metrics have been defined for both contributors and contents. In the framework, validated and ranked corrections and completions are stored as linked open data in a separate repository but linked to the original data sources. The repository can be queried in a combined way with the original data sources. |

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.
