Abstract | The problem, as I see it, is to distinguish externally a developmental trajectory (DT) from any local concatenation of unrelated events. By equating meaning with interpretation from a viewpoint, I assimilate semiosis to development. From DTs emerge, e.g., intentional actions, systems, forms, organisms, texts, organizations-by way of intensification of properties acquired in early stages. All of these begin as vague germs with large evolutionary potential (they can branch at any point), which gradually gets exchanged for increasingly more definite embodiment while a DT endures. A DT's closure is not fully formed from the first, but gradually emerges as it develops. A DT's ability to produce informational entropy (H, information capacity) increases as it matures and grows old by way of binding information. This process is representable by a specification hierarchy of classes and subclasses. Development involves movement to a subclass, and not jumps to new classes. This is true of emergence as well-e.g., biology emerged from chemical activity, but it is still based on a kind of (a selection from) chemistry. It has not transcended chemistry, and neither will AI. The autonomy of a DT, which increases as it it binds historical information, is rooted in its contexts; change the latter and its autonomy disappears, however mature it is. It can "skate across" gaps in its material resources only if the larger context remains stable. To match autonomy with semiotics, we assimilate to it, viewpoint, subjectivity and agency. |

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.
