| Abstract | The past decade has experienced a phenomenal growth in the electronic delivery of business services. This has led to an elevation in the expectations of citizens for fast and efficient delivery of governmental services. Recently, workflow systems have gained importance as an effective= infrastructure for automating the business processes within and across government agencies. Government services, such as permit processing for the development or preservation of land, can be modeled as workflow. They must consider geographic locations and the geodata that include location-specific data, documents and information. We call such workflows dependent upon locations and their geodata Geospatial workflows. We argue that geospatial workflows vary widely from one case to another, and therefore cannot be represented as a generic workflow. We demonstrate, with concrete examples, that there is a compelling need for customized geospatial workflows and propose a system that is capable of generating such customized workflows by capturing the user requirements and extracting the relevant governmental regulations. Our system also provides users with decision support functionalities comprising of various GIS layers, by which users can evaluate and identify a suitable workflow among various possible scenarios. Geospatial workflows can be used by government agencies to automate the delivery of their services. We present the features of a preliminary prototype. |

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.
