| Abstract | Local search services provide information access about specific locations, facilities and geographic points of interest. However, in various information seeking situations users are not only interested in the specific geo entities but the composition of urban areas and geographic regions. Users need to specify, analyze and compare the geographic regions, which is not feasible with the current local search systems as their querying, ranking and presentation methods are centered towards definite locations and entities. In this paper we propose a visual interactive system that goes beyond the explicit locations, and support the search and exploration of geographic regions. The proposed system allows user to illustrate their geographic regions of interest via spatial querying on map interface, and subsequently search for the related relevant regions. The relevance assessment of geographic regions is based on the categorical distribution of geo-located facilities. Users could interact with the categorical overview of the regions, to analyze the composition of selected regions, as well as to adapt it to their criteria of interests. |

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.
