| Abstract | Cloud computing is today involving software development and usage in a new phase, entailing not only a pervasive relevance as a technology but also a cultural value as the novel paradigm for supporting knowledge construction. Cloud paradigms locate applications on the top of levels usually employed to manage the complexity of modern computer systems, delivering the metaphor of ubiquitous available resources (software as well as data), without having to care about where data are located nor how they will be delivered. The 'as a Service' formula is outlining a new epistemic scenario that addresses not only agile IT needs for dealing with a business which is made more globalised, but also humanities requirements for exploiting data in order to disseminate culture. We refer to this scenario as a social media-oriented Cloud computing, in order to distinguish it from the usual one, i.e IT agility. This paper relates Virtual Heritage Cineca experiences aimed at developing Cloud solutions mixing humanities targets with Cloud technology results. The mixed approach investigated common principles grouping applications at the Cloud high abstraction level to implement a Web-centric one, as a Service meta interface that hybridizes standard Google Earth tools with application server patterns in order to improve the construction of knowledge about cultural data and resources, traditionally delivered on the Web (i.e. Web pages). |

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.
