| Abstract | Using services across domain boundaries, be they organizations or self-managing components of large distributed systs, requires the setup of an agreent between the parties involved, defining the terms of the service including interfaces, security and Quality of Service (QoS) properties. In an on-dand environment in which services are contracted on a short notice, the establishment of an agreent as well as the setup of agreement-fulfilling and monitoring systs of the parties involved must be spontaneous and, partially, automated. WS-Agreent is a standardization effort being conducted in the Global Grid Forum defining a simple agreent establishment protocol, an XML-representation of agreements and agreent tplates as well as a runtime agreement monitoring interface, based on the WSRF set of standards. WS-Agreent standardizes the interaction between the organizational domains. In addition, providers require an infrastructure to manage agreent tplates, implent the interfaces, check availability of service capacity and expose agreement states at runtime. Also, agreent requesters need infrastructure to read tplates, fill in tplates to create suitable agreements, and monitor agreent state at runtime. Crona (Creation and Monitoring of Agreents) proposes an architecture for the WS-Agreent-implenting middleware. In addition, the Crona Java Library implents the WS-Agreent interfaces, provides management functionality for agreement tplates and instances, and defines abstractions of service-providing systs that can be implented in a domain-specific environment. |

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.
