| Abstract | Precise positioning of scientific instruments on an undersea cabled observatory is crucial for successful data collection. The majority of researchers for NEPTUNE Canada's 800km cabled ocean observatory are geographically diverse, and it is both expensive and time-consuming to be physically present during instrument deployment. We have developed an economical, scalable web application that allows researchers to interact, collaborate and review video collected during live ROV operations. For over 20 years ocean research vessels have been equipped with satellite uplink capability, allowing researchers on land to participate in observing live dive operations and ocean phenomena. Perhaps the most famous example is the JASON project, a collaboration started in 1989 between Robert Ballard, WHOI and National Geographic Society. There are significant costs associated to host the uplink and downlink, however, and researchers may not be able to easily communicate with the chief scientist on board the ship and with each other. Worse, the video footage may be archived with very little metadata, mission time or easy means of cataloguing and retrieval. These problems were addressed in a uniquely collaborative venture between NEPTUNE Canada, the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility (CFFS) and Canada's Advanced Research & Innovation Network (CANARIE). In this paper we report on the development of software and infrastructure enabling live video observation, online annotation and archiving of instrument positioning on the NEPTUNE Canada ocean observatory. The paper will detail the software design, infrastructure and quality assurance processes used to deploy this innovative, cost effective solution which successfully addresses the needs of the ocean science and engineering communities. |

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.
