| Abstract | During the 1970's computing facilities which had previously provided stand-alone processing were linked into a variety of networks under quite different geographical, technical, financial and application constraints. The effect of these independent developments was that similar services were often provided by quite different mechanisms, and interconnection became extremely difficult. Late in the 1970's a strong desire for a standard means of internetwork communication arose. It was realized that a common model of distributed data communications would be required to facilitate the development of these standards. Intensive activity was initiated by several national and international standards organizations, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). In 1978 the “Reference Model of Open Systems Interconnection” [8] was produced, and this led to the 1981 Draft International Standard 7498 “Data Processing. Open Systems Interconnection - Basic Reference Model” [2]. The documents assume an environment of systems which make themselves “open” to the exchange of data with other systems by adhering to a well-defined set of standard procedures for communication. The documents scope includes not only the basic transfer of information between such systems, but also the capability of such systems to work together in support of distributed applications. |

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.
