| Abstract | It is now common for academic institutes, government sectors and commercial corporations all over the world to engage in collaborative, complex applications. Most of them require international and interoperable access to large quantities of distributed, heterogeneous geospatial data, services, computing abilities and other facilities. The open grid services architecture (OGSA) implemented through the globus toolkit, provides an applicable and convenient software infrastructure for securely sharing computational resources within a virtual organization. In this paper, based on the globus toolkit, we propose an open, reusable, optimized, standards-compliant, and grid-enabled geospatial software system for archiving, managing, querying and serving NASA earth observing system data. We apply grid technologies to OGC Web services to make them grid-enabled and deploy them into the system. These services can be invoked either by OGC users or by grid users in the grid environment. Any OGSA-compliant grid services can be deployed into the system, and can invoke or be invoked by our or other grid services in our virtual organization to securely access each other's data and other computational resources after we authorize access. A catalogue service federation (CSF) with an OGC standard interface is developed to interact with other grid or non-grid geospatial catalogue services for querying and serving much more geospatial data. An intelligent grid service mediator (iGSM) and replica optimization service (ROS), both of which are grid services, are proposed to distribute and optimize user requests for data and services in the system. All of the grid-enabled geospatial services can be reused to construct more complex and functional services by forming a service-chain |

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.
