| Abstract | In a multi-vendor environment, development of the Internet of Things (IoT) will be limited without the emergence of open, consensus standards that enable collaboration. Such standards will define an infrastructure that raises the level of services and quality of information for the marketplace thereby providing more opportunities, particularly for the vendors that collaborate to define the standards. Collaborative development is key to consensus adoption and wide use of information technology standards. Development of effective open standards is a balancing act. The standards need to be agile and adaptive to the rapidly changing developments in the marketplace. The standards also need to have a sound engineering foundation and respect relevant aspects of the existing technology base. The use of open standards to connect components, applications, and content -- allowing a "white box" view on the components' functionality and interfaces without revealing implementation details -- fulfills the industry requirement for protection of intellectual property and the user requirement for transparency. The COM.Geo Workshop on "Expanding GeoWeb to an Internet of Things" is an excellent opportunity to discuss how organizations can increase their business based on quality location information in the Internet of Things. Quality information in a multi-vendor environment can only be obtained using standards. An industry-based consortium is needed to establish effective standards for information sharing about location in the Internet of Things. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has a proven process for industry-wide collaborative development of efficient standards for spatial and location information. The mission of OGC is to serve as a global forum for the development and promotion of open standards and techniques in the area of geoprocessing and related information technologies. The OGC has 410+ members - geospatial technology software vendors, systems integrators, government agencies and universities - participating in the consensus standards development and maintenance process. Through its Specification Program, Interoperability Program, and Marketing and Communications Program, the OGC develops, releases and promotes open standards for spatial processing. Technology and content providers collaborate in the OGC because they recognize that lack of interoperability is a bottleneck that slows market expansion. They know that interoperability enabled by open standards positions them to both compete more effectively in the marketplace and to seek new market opportunities. The OGC recommends the following steps for advancing the GeoWeb to an IoT-based marketplace: • Definition of a standards-based "GeoWeb meets IoT" framework to spur coordinated application development. • Coordination of standards for location in IoT with other relevant standards development organizations. • Discussions of the framework in the OGC Specification Working Groups to identify if additional standards are needed. • Conduct an Embedded Mobile Ecosystem Testbed using the OGC Interoperability Program approach. |

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.
