| Abstract | Scientific discoveries are increasingly relying on analysis of massive amounts of data. The ability to directly access the most relevant data records through query, without shifting through all of them becomes essential. However, scientific datasets are commonly stored on parallel file systems and I/O systems that are optimized for reading/writing large chunks of data, and many scientific datasets have spatial-temporal data similarity, such that the records with similar values often locate in a close proximity of each other. Therefore, our previous work started to investigate the benefit of using block range index technique for scientific datasets, which only records the value range of all the records in a data block. In this paper, we extend our work in several aspects. First, we implement and integrate our block index technique with the ADIOS I/O system. Second, we show our proposed method can be significantly better than the existing minmax and bitmaps indexing methods supported in ADIOS, and can also have comparable performance in the worst case. Third, we propose several techniques that can take advantage of the block index information to greatly reduce data retrieval time from query results. Fourth, we evaluate our approach using several real scientific datasets, and analyze the spatial-temporal data similarity characteristics in them. Through our study, we believe block index can be an effective indexing technique for scientific datasets with little implementation and operating overhead. It's size is small enough for building the indexes on-the-fly, and yet its query information is sufficient for efficient data access. |

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.
