| Abstract | Science gateways enable researchers and students to use distributed scientific computing infrastructure (cyberinfrastructure) through Web browsers and Web-enabled desktop clients. This paper describes the use of the open source, open community Apache Rave project as the basis for developing science gateways. Building on Apache Shindig (for OpenSocial Gadgets) and Apache Wookie (for W3C Widgets), Rave provides an out-of-the box deployment that can be used to host reusable social Web components. Rave is based on the Spring MVC framework and so can also be extensively customized or extended with (for example) custom database back-ends and authentication modules. In this paper we consider Rave as a development platform for science gateways and discuss how the source code may be extended through three use cases that focus on gateway security requirements. A major consideration of this paper is how to design Rave as a development environment so that developers can make local customizations and extensions freely on both a rapidly changing code base (during Rave's initial development), and (later) between stable code bases during version upgrades. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of developing science gateways and other cyberinfrastructure software within the Apache Software Foundation and present its potential advantages. |

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.
