Abstract | Modern geoscience and remote sensing (RS) are increasingly data-intensive. Cyberinfrastructure (CI) plays an essential role in data-intensive geoscience and RS research and education. GeoBrain is one of NASA's significant investments in CI for facilitating data-intensive Earth science (ES) and RS research and education. The GeoBrain CI, which makes large data and computing resources interoperable and sharable over the Web by adopting and developing the latest Web service, geospatial interoperability and related information technologies, provides an innovative approach to data-intensive geospatial computing. This paper addresses the GeoBrain solution to major issues in data-intensive ES/RS education and illustrates how use of GeoBrain could greatly enhance ES/RS education. |

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.
