| Abstract | Science Gateways provide user environments and a set of supporting services that help researchers make effective and enhanced use of a diverse set of computing, storage, and related resources. Gateways provide the services and tools users require to enable their scientific exploration, which includes tasks such as running computer simulations or performing data analysis. Historically gateways have been constructed to support the workflow of individual users, but collaboration between users has become an increasingly important part of the discovery process. This trend has created a driving need for gateways to support data sharing between users. For example, a chemistry research group may want to run simulations collaboratively, analyze experimental data or tune parameter studies based on simulation output generated by peers, whether as a default capability, or through explicit creation of sharing privileges. As another example, students in a classroom setting may be required to share their simulation output or data analysis results with the instructor. However most existing gateways (including the popularly used XSEDE gateways SEAGrid, Ultrascan, CIPRES, and NSG), do not support direct data sharing, so users have to handle these collaborations outside the gateway environment. Given the importance of collaboration in current scientific practice, user collaboration should be a prime consideration in building science gateways. In this work, we present design considerations and implementation of a generic model that can be used to describe and handle a diverse set of user collaboration use cases that arise in gateways, based on general requirements gathered from the SEAGrid, CIPRES, and NSG gateways. We then describe the integration of this sharing service into these gateways. Though the model and the system were tested and used in the context of Science Gateways, the concepts are universally applicable to any domain, and the service can support data sharing in a wide variety of use cases. |

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.
