| Abstract | Software systems are intrinsically complex from a number of perspectives. The level of complexity is increasing due to the growing need to integrate different and diverse systems in order to achieve organizational goals (evolving toward ecosystems as an ideal). Effective integration may be argued as important as, from a knowledge-based perspective of organizations, the effectiveness of services rendered by resources depends upon how they are combined and applied. Consequently, systems development and re-engineering must focus on ways of dealing with the complexity of modern software systems in an effective manner. Since software systems, in essence, model real world phenomena, it is necessary to adopt modeling and development techniques founded on semantics. Broadly speaking, semantics enable the precise map-ping between complex real world phenomena and their modeled counterparts and/or enable the (dynamic) mapping/integration between different representations (and understandings) of real world phenomena. In recent years, ontologies have emerged as the prime focus of semantic modeling, with the main focus on the development of representation languages and the resulting ontologies. Limited work has been carried out within the software engineering community in relation to the development of semantic-based systems -- though research into the modeling, alignment and evolution of ontologies has progressed significantly among the Semantic Web community. It would seem plausible that languages, tools and techniques developed to achieve the objectives of the Semantic Web could be integrated within the software development process as a means to produce more flexible and adaptive systems. Numerous challenges exist however, as the development of semantic-based systems will have to manage things that exist (ontology), specific organizational knowledge of what exists (epistemology) and the required organizational action (pragmatics). With that in mind, this workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners with diverse cultural and professional backgrounds in order to discuss and analyze the different perspectives, issues and challenges of Semantic-Based Systems Development. Researchers and practitioners are invited to provide contributions in the form of research, case study or position papers related to the workshop theme. Topics include, but are not limited to the following: Ontological modeling paradigms Development approaches for semantic-based systems (e.g., methods, process and tool support) Resolution of semantic mismatches Persisting semantic models Automated ontology generation and management Ontology languages (e.g., RDF, OWL and UML) Semantic Web services Mapping of semantic models with system models Extracting (business) semantics from legacy systems. During the workshop the discussion will be particularly aimed at:Identifying key obstacles in relation to Semantic-Based Software Development; Contributing toward the improvement of the State-of-the-Art in Semantic-Based Software Development; Instigating collaborative research efforts among the participants. |

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.
