| Abstract | Many of us have an intuition that we should be able to extend the technical and commercial success of road navigation in large geographic spaces to smaller spaces such as parks, shopping malls, business estates, airports, train stations, crime scenes, disaster sites, and individual buildings. Designing real applications leads to three key technical and business questions: • "What are the requirements?" There are clear differences in comparison with road navigation. Smaller spaces have a human-scale level structure embedded in 3-dimensional space. Visualisation and analysis can be as important as navigation itself. Does the turn-by-turn guidance model still make sense? • "Where do models come from?" Smaller spaces have complex structure that are complex and can change frequently. Multiple sources inevitably have semantic and quantitative inconsistencies. How do you find content? How do you integrate content? How do you update content? • "How do you locate a mobile device in smaller spaces?" Compared to road navigation, the precision requirements are tighter, the difficulties in radio propagation are extreme, and level information within structures is essential. Consideration of these questions in a practical application at the Italian fire training centre at Montelibretti provides some answers. |

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.
