| Abstract | Wide spread use of database systems in modern society has brought the need to provide inexperienced users with the ability to easily search a database with no specific knowledge of a query language. Several recent research efforts have focused on supporting keyword-based searches over relational databases. This paper presents an alternative proposal and introduces the idea of précis queries. These are free-form queries whose answer (a précis) is a synthesis of results, containing not only information directly related to the query selections but also information implicitly related to them in various ways. Our approach to précis queries includes two additional novelties: (a) queries do not generate individual relations but entire multi-relation databases; and (b) query results are personalized to user-specific and/or domain requirements. We develop a framework and system architecture for supporting such queries in the context of a relational database system and describe algorithms that implement the required functionality. Finally, we present a set of experimental results that evaluate the proposed algorithms and show the potential of this work. |

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.
