| Abstract | Document engineering has a difficult task: to propose tools and methods to manipulate contents and make sense of them. This task is still harder when dealing with archive, insofar as document engineering has not only to provide tools for expressing sense but above all tools and methods to keep contents accessible in their integrity and intelligible according to their meaning. However, these objectives may be contradictory: access implies to transform contents to make them accessible through networks, tools and devices. Intelligibility may imply to adapt contents to the current state of knowledge and capacity of understanding. But, by doing that, can we still speak of authenticity, integrity, or even the identity of documents? Document engineering has provided powerful means to express meaning and to turn an intention into a semiotic expression. Document repurposing has become a usual way for exploiting libraries, archives, etc. By enabling to reuse a specific part of a given content, repurposing techniques allow to entirely renegotiate the meaning of this part by changing its context, its interactivity, in short the way people can consider this piece of content and interpret it. Put in this way, there could be an antinomy between archiving and document engineering. However, transforming document, editing content is an efficient way to keep them alive and compelling for people. Preserving contents does not consist in simply storing them but in actively transforming them to adapt them technically and keep them intelligible. Editing the past is then a new challenge, merging a content deontology with a document technology. This challenge implies to redefine some classical notions as authenticity and highlight the needs for new concepts and methods. Especially in a digital world, documents are permanently reconfigured by technical tools that produce variants, similar contents calling into question the usual definition the identity of documents. Editing the past calls for a new critics of variants. |

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.
