| Abstract | Location-based social networks are a source of geo-spatial data enriched by textual information, such as news, travel blogs, tweets and user recommendations. Such data may describe an event, an experience or a point of interest that is relevant to a user. In this vision paper we propose to describe a spatial region by the thoughts, ideas and emotions frequently and recently expressed by people in that region. For this purpose, we envision to extract features from geo-textual data, which capture not only the vocabulary, but also current topics and current general interests. We formally define the problem of drawing a socio textual map using geo-textual data and identify the necessary steps towards this vision: We represent each region as a stream of text messages such as tweets. In each region, we maintain a feature representation of text messages. We define a dissimilarity measure between such collections to assess the similarity between two regions. Using this measure, we utilize a metric clustering approach to obtain a social map of similar regions. We present a proof of concept by implementing the aforementioned steps with initial solutions. This proof of concept shows that an initial solution, which clusters the feature representations of regions, also yields clusters having regions that are spatially close. We theoretically explain this proof of concept by Tobler's first law of geography. |

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.
