| Abstract | A few decades ago, the Internet was created. Since then, searching for information and services has increased exponentially. With the introduction of GPS-enabled devices, a special type of search appeared offering location-aware services. These services customize search results based on users' location. This includes, but not limited to, (1) service finding, e.g., "find the nearest pizza restaurant", (2) routing, e.g., "obtain the shortest path from a user's home to the airport", (3) transportation, e.g., "what are the bus links to get a user from downtown to the mall", and (4) monitoring, e.g., "alert a parent if their child school-bus deviates from its regular route". Though new hardware and software technologies such as smart watches, voice search, and big-data platforms have been introduced and widely used, each single type of the above services has benefited very little from these technologies. On the local level of each service (the micro level), a full-fledged view is still missing. On the global level of all service types (the macro level), all Location-aware services are still acting as isolated islands and a global optimized service is not available. This paper presents our vision of how to provide an integrated macro location-aware service that acts harmoniously, and how each micro service can be further improved by better incorporation of novel technologies. We also overview the key challenges associated with these suggested improvements. Then, we highlight the potential value-added by the application of our vision. |

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.
