Abstract | There are several co-related activities in the database area and computer architecture that make the discussion of database machines and their implications on DBMS standards timely and meaningful. First, in the database area there is a drive toward more powerful database management systems which support high-level data models and languages. The motive for this drive is the requirement to greatly improve user/programmer productivity and to protect applications from changes in the user environment. However, supporting these interfaces with software means often introduces inefficiency in database management systems because of the many levels of complex software which are required to map the high-level data representation and languages to the low level storage representation and machine codes. Second, the need for systems which handle very large databases is increasing rapidly. Very large databases complicate the problems of retrieval, update, data recovery, transaction processing, integrity, and security. Software solutions to these problems work well for both small databases supporting many applications and large databases supporting only a few applications. However, the labor-intensive cost, time delays and reliability problems associated with software development and maintenance will soon become prohibitive as large and highly shared databases emerge. The search for hardware solutions to these problems is a necessary and viable alternative for balancing functionality and price/performance. Third, the progress made in hardware technology in the past decade is phenomenal. The cost of memories, processors, terminals and communication devices has dropped and will continue to drop at a drastic rate. It is time for a reevaluation of the traditional role of hardware and software in solving problems of today and tomorrow in database management. |

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.
