| Abstract | In recent years oil and gas exploration and development activity has been increasing across many different parts of the circumpolar Arctic, most notably across the Alaskan North Slope, the Beaufort Sea, offshore Newfoundland/Labrador, the Barents Sea, and most recently, offshore Greenland. With Arctic regions containing potentially enormous oil and gas resources and with increasing accessibility and technological improvements, it is widely expected that this activity will only continue to increase in the future. At the same time, it has also been identified that there is a distinct need to develop standards specific to both onshore and offshore Arctic environments given the unique operating conditions in the Arctic and also that no standards specific to these environments yet exist. In order to address this need, in 2012 a subcommittee was established under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee responsible for oil and gas offshore structures (i.e. TC 67). Specifically, ISO TC 67/SC8 has been mandated to develop standards for oil and gas operations in cold climate regions that will help ensure safe and effective Arctic oil and gas operations while also ensuring protection of the environment and the people working and living in these regions. A total of nine countries are participating in ISO/TC 67/SC8, including Canada, Russia, Norway, Great Britain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Kazakhstan, and the United States. Six different working groups have been organized under ISO TC 67/SC8 to develop standards across six distinct areas, including standards dealing with 1) the Arctic working environment, 2) escape, evacuation and rescue procedures, 3) environmental monitoring, 4) ice management, 5) material requirements, and 6) managing physical environmental data. Each working group is progressing through the successive stages of developing the standards, with the standards expected to be published as international standards by 2016 or 2017. Canadian experts are contributing to each working group under ISO TC 67/SC8, with Canada also leading the working group on ice management. Canada has a significant amount of experience with ice management in ice-impacted waters, including off Eastern Canada and Greenland. |

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.
