| Abstract | Nowadays, Web 3D is reaching a new milestone thanks to the convergence of various technologies including new Web standards (such as HTML 5 and WebGL), new device controllers to ease 3D navigation and interaction (Natal Project®, Wiimote®, .) and home 3D displays. Despite these new factors, the lack of efficient and high level authoring tools to ease the creation and reduce the production cost of Web 3D interfaces is still a strong impediment to the large scale use of Web 3D contents. In this article, we present a framework based on current websites design pipeline that is distinguished by content management, graphic charter design and interface design. Moreover, our solution must reach a sufficient level of flexibility in terms of extensibility, of modularity, of genericity of input and output file formats, as well as of range of interfaces potentially feasible by designers. Thus we propose a software environment allowing metaphor-based information presentation, taking into consideration both the data structure (how the user explores and discovers data) and the visual aspect of the computed environment (the geometry and data representation). These metaphors may be used to visualize large volumes of information coming from databases or classic/semantic search results. The created environments may be highly varying, from 3D interfaces to 3D worlds inside which the user can navigate with an avatar and interact with other users. Various examples are given to illustrate the flexibility of the technique. |

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.
