| Abstract | Content--based image retrieval in the medical domain is an extremely hot topic in medical imaging as it promises to help better managing the large amount of medical images being produced. Applications are mainly expected in the field of medical teaching files and for research projects, where performance issues and speed are less critical than in the field of diagnostic aid. Final goal with most impact will be the use as a diagnostic aid in a real--world clinical setting.Other applications of image retrieval and image classification can be the automatic annotation of images with basic concepts or the control of DICOM header information.ImageCLEF is part of the Cross Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF). Since 2004, a medical image retrieval task has been added. Goal is to create databases of a realistic and useful size and also query topics that are based on real--world needs in the medical domain but still correspond to the limited capabilities of purely visual retrieval at the moment. Goal is to direct the research onto real applications and towards real clinical problems to give researchers who are not directly linked to medical facilities a possibility to work on the interesting problem of medical image retrieval based on real data sets and problems. The missing link between computer science research departments and clinical routine is one of the biggest problems that becomes evident when reading much of the current literature on medical image retrieval. Most databases are extremely small, the treated problems often far from clinical reality, and there is no integration of the prototypes into a hospital infrastructure. Only few retrieval articles specifically mention problems related to the DICOM format (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) and the sheer amount of data that needs to be treated in an image archive ( > 30.000 images per day in the Geneva radiology).This article develops the various axes that can be taken into account for medical image retrieval system evaluation. First, the axes are developed based on current challenges and experiences from ImageCLEF. Then, the resources developed for ImageCLEF are listed and finally, the application of the axes is explained to show the bases of the ImageCLEFmed evaluation campaign. This article will only concentrate on the medical retrieval tasks, the non-medical tasks will only shortly be mentioned. |

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.
