| Abstract | The popularity of GPS-enabled cellular devices introduced numerous applications, e.g., social networks, micro-blogs, and crowd-powered reviews. These applications produce large amounts of geo-tagged textual data that need to be processed and queried. Nowadays, many complex spatio-textual operators and their matching complex indexing structures are being proposed in the literature to process this spatio-textual data. For example, there exist several complex variations of the spatio-textual group queries that retrieve groups of objects that collectively satisfy certain spatial and textual criteria. However, having complex operators is against the spirit of SQL and relational algebra. In contrast to these complex spatio-textual operators, in relational algebra, simple relational operators are offered, e.g., relational selects, projects, order by, and group by, that are composable to form more complex queries. In this paper, we introduce Atlas, an SQL extension to express complex spatial-keyword group queries. Atlas follows the philosophy of SQL and relational algebra in that it uses simple declarative spatial and textual building-block operators and predicates to extend SQL. Not only that Atlas can represent spatio-textual group queries from the literature, but also it can compose other important queries, e.g., retrieve spatio-textual groups from subsets of object datasets where the selected subset satisfies user-defined relational predicates and the groups of close-by objects contain miss-spelled keywords. We demonstrate that Atlas is able to represent a wide range of spatial-keyword queries that existing indexes and algorithms would not be able to address. The building- block paradigm adopted by Atlas creates room for query optimization, where multiple query execution plans can be formed. |

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.
