| Abstract | This paper is a spin-off of our work on actors. We have worked out a dictionary for translating between what Minsky et. al. are saying about frames and what we are saying about actors. Using PLASMA [PLANNER-like System Modeled on Actors] we can demonstrate important relationships between the Minsky-frames and the PLANNER-like formalisms. PLASMA does not use the QA-4 context mechanism (Rulifson et. al. 1972). instead it uses explicit tags in assertions to keep track of the state of affairs in various situations. One problem with the QA-4 context mechanism is that the problem solver is forced to attempt to propagate all changes in the situation immediately on a frame shift since otherwise inconsistent information will be inherited from the previous situation. Another problem with QA-4 context meƧhanism is that it is sometimes difficult to reason explicitly about various situations using it because situations [frames] are not explicitly part of the assertions and goals. Events that are viewed from several different viewpoints [as in a murder mystery] are difficult to handle. Also it is difficult to retrieve the appropriate prior situations from memory to aid in recognition tasks using QA-4 contexts. However, without the example of the QA-4 contexts to guide us, we could never have realized how to deal with these problems using tagged assertions. The context mechanism in CONNIVER was modeled on the one in QA-4. |

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.
