| Abstract | Web-based geographic information systems related research and its applications have been making rapid progress. Computers with fast processing units and large amounts of memory allow for practical applications of time consuming and resource intensive algorithms, both for spatial analysis as well as visualization of large-volume data such as high resolution raster images, DTM and vector data. However, most Web-based geographic information systems are used for presentation of static data, while the area of dynamic and semi-dynamic data visualization has been mostly neglected. Novel applications of known devices and models such as synthetic aperture radar and oil spill simulations require interactive data presentation, which up until now has been mostly realized using standalone applications or thick Web clients. This paper describes a number of Web-based GIS technologies for presentation of semi-dynamic geographic information retrieved from many different sources. It also describes the possibilities these technologies provide for publishing interactive geospatial data such as oil spill spread animation overlaid on background data (eg. terrain elevation data, satellite imagery) and presented in a geographic context. Web-GIS technologies like ESRI ArcIMS (Arc Internet map server) and open source geoserver with OpenLayers client library were compared during the research. The paper presents their corresponding capabilities, interactive geographic information presentation efficiency as well as general performance when serving considerable amounts of data. |

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.
