| Abstract | The prevailing binding of SOAP to HTTP specifies that SOAP messages be encoded as an XML 1.0 document which is then sent between client and server. XML processing however can be slow and memory intensive, especially for scientific data, and consequently SOAP has been regarded as an inappropriate protocol for scientific data. Efficiency considerations thus lead to the prevailing practice of separating data from the SOAP control channel. Instead, it is stored in specialized binary formats and transmitted either via attachments or indirectly via a file sharing mechanism, such as GridFTP or HTTP. This separation invariably complicates development due to the multiple libraries and type systems to be handled; furthermore it suffers from performance issues, especially when handling small binary data. As an alternative solution, binary XML provides a highly efficient encoding scheme for binary data in the XML and SOAP messages, and with it we can gain high performance as well as unifying the development environment without unduly impacting the Web service protocol stack. In this paper we present our implementation of a generic SOAP engine that supports both textual XML and binary XML as the encoding scheme of the message. We also present our binary XML data model and encoding scheme. Our experiments show that for scientific applications binary XML together with the generic SOAP implementation not only ease development, but also provide better performance and are more widely applicable than the commonly used separated schemes |

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.
