| Abstract | Ensuring effective Ambient Intelligence based upon the wide range of static as well as real-time datasets required to manage a transport infrastructure such as a motorway, is a daunting task. This paper presents how this challenge has been faced through the development of a service-based networked infrastructure capable to make a wide range of Geographical Information (GI) available to the operators of a major Italian motorway. In doing so, the system has used open standards from ISO and Open Geospatial Consortium. Unlike current Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs), which address relatively static data in time slices, the work presented allows, similarly to traditional GIS, to manage true dynamic data available through geo-referenced sensors along the motorway. The main objective of the project described within this paper was to link existing systems and networks to deliver a comprehensive, coordinated and sustained intelligent infrastructure which can be used to improve management of the motorway as a system. This approach follows the vision of Ambient Spatial Intelligence, which explores how to better embed intelligent features to respond to spatio-temporal queries and to better monitor geographical events within built and natural environments. The combination of information available from different sources (GI, sensor networks, etc.) with information on traffic and vehicle situation is essential to provide context awareness to operators. The networked platform developed has extended the traditional concept of SDIs with an unprecedented volume of real-time geo-referenced sensor data, deployed along the motorway path, all characterized by high spatial and temporal resolution. |

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.
