| Abstract | Analysts are faced with increasing volume and complexity of spatially and spatio-temporally referenced events to analyze. One means of taming this volume and complexity is to develop methods and tools that can identify patterns, including spatio-temporal structure like clusters, in event data. To understand these methods and tools, we first present some of the motivation for the work, and then we detail the software architecture that we will use to support categorical analysis of spatio-temporal events. Methods for analyzing spatial events, and spatio-temporal events, have experienced a recent renaissance. This upsurge in interest has occurred in part because of novel high-quality event sources which can provide complex data with geographic and temporal referents. Examples of such event sources include geographically located Twitter postings linked to documents, or photographs and video taken with GPS-enabled mobile phones. The products of these event sources are a vast stream of events that are linked with heterogeneous and voluminous data, including textual, imagery data as well as numerical data. One of the ways of making numerical sense of such heterogeneous data is to consider the text or media as a set of tagged categories. We can then apply methods for detecting structure in spatio-temporal events, including recently developed methods for disease outbreak detection, to these categories. We are developing methods and associated software that will allow users to tag or label events, analyze them, and interact with visual representations of the event structure detected by the analysis. An integrated software system, called STempo, will provide the user with a fixed set of analysis tools and coordination topology to work from. The category tagging and structure detection tools will also be worked into the larger set of tools available in the GeoViz Toolkit, an interactive system for geographic visualization and analysis. |

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.
