| Abstract | Advances in wireless communications, positioning technologies, and consumer electronics combine to enable a range of applications that use a mobile user’s geo-spatial location to deliver on-line, location-enhanced services, often referred to as location-based services. This paper assumes that the service users are constrained to a transportation network, and it delves into the modeling of such networks, points of interest, and the service users with the objective of supporting location-based services. In particular, the paper presents a framework that encompasses two interrelated models—a two-dimensional, spatial representation and a multi-graph presentation. The former, high-fidelity model may be used for the positioning of content and users in the infrastructure (e.g., using map matching). The latter type of model is recognized as an ideal basis for a variety of query processing tasks, e.g., route and distance computations. Together, the two models capture central aspects of the problem domain needed in order to support the different types of queries that underlie location-based services. Notably, the framework is capable of capturing roads with lanes, lane shift and u-turn regulations, and turn restrictions. As part of the framework, the paper constructively demonstrates how it is possible map instances of the semantically rich two-dimensional model to instances of the graph model that preserve the topology of the two-dimensional model instances. In doing so, the paper demonstrates how a wealth of previously proposed query processing techniques based on graphs are applicable even in the context of complex transportation networks. The paper also presents means of compacting graphs while preserving aspects of the graphs that are important for the intended applications. |

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.
