| Abstract | The Object-Oriented Software Development Method (OOSD) includes object-oriented requirements analysis, as well as object-oriented design. OOSD is a practical method of developing a software system which focuses on the objects of a problem throughout development. OOSD's focus on objects early in the development, with attention to generating a useful model, creates a picture of the system that is modifiable, reusable, reliable, and understandable — the last perhaps most important because the picture of a software system created by a development method must be an effective device for communication among developers, customers, management, and quality-assurance personnel.Most object-oriented methods competing for the attention of the software developer actually apply traditional Structured Analysis (function-based), or variations of Structured Analysis, to requirements activity, and work through a transition process to an object-oriented design [1,2,7,10,11]. In these methods the developer begins with functionally-based requirements analysis, and only reaches an object-oriented design by the intermediary step of converting a traditional, functionally-decomposed data flow diagram (DFD) to an object-oriented DFD (or equivalent). In this conversion process, objects are identified through a set of heuristics which group “transformations” in the DFD generated during requirements analysis. These methods carry a number of interesting but unfortunate burdens. Lower-level objects, which directly relate to real-world objects, are easily identified, but higher-level objects are generally more arbitrary, so that developers do not consistently identify a hierarchy of objects which achieves significant improvement in software engineering goals (e.g., reliability, maintainability, reusability). The heuristics for identifying objects usually relate the DFD transforms to the object that controls execution of an operation, rather than the object which “owns” the operation. These methods generally ignore the need to convert behavior descriptions of the DFD transforms into behavior descriptions of the objects. Finally, the use of Structured Analysis in an otherwise object-oriented approach complicates the tracing of requirements by forcing the developer to look first to DFD transforms and their behavior descriptions, and then to the objects. |

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.
