| Abstract | A high performance, freely accessible medical image processing environment based on a distributed architecture is presented: MedlGrid is the result of a joined interaction between scientists devoted to the design and deployment of new and efficient tomographic reconstruction techniques, researchers in the field of distributed and parallel architectures, and physicians interested in experimenting with new advances in the field of image reconstruction and analysis. The main goal of the project was to design an easily accessible and usable environment with which the medical community can experiment on one side, and that research groups can use as a reference or as a basis for continuing research on the other side. The outcome of this work consists of a prototypal grid infrastructure along with an open and distributed software environment. The grid computing architecture includes a storage server, a high performance parallel computing unit, and two PCs that act as clients to the system and that are located in geographically distant areas. The Globus Toolkit has been chosen to implement the middleware between hardware and software. The latter consists of a set of tools and strategies to reconstruct, display, analyze as well as store, share, distribute and organize medical images, addressing the major problems in the field of image reconstruction and processing. It is platform independent, remotely executable, freely downloadable and accessible, and based on open source code. |

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.
