| Abstract | The definition of meaningful and realistic targets is the key element in the development of agri-environmental measures to improve the present situation of agricultural landscapes both from ecological and socio-economic points of view. Such targets should be based on a system of reference values that consider ecological thresholds and the carrying capacity of ecosystems and landscapes as well as the demands and necessities of human society in a specific area. In this way, so-called Environmental Minimum Requirements (EMR) can be prescribed for each indicator selected. With the help of EMR it is possible to envisage the minimum values to be matched by the state indicators, below which the particular environmental function becomes jeopardised at the level of the area under consideration. Thus, the definition of EMR is the crucial step to bridge scientific analyses of the ecological state with socio-economic and political evaluations. In examples of the EU-project AEMBAC, various approaches of determining EMR for indicators in the field of biodiversity, soil, water and ‘landscape’ are described. EMR can be classified according to their sources, spatial differentiation, scale and temporal validity. EMR values can vary between countries and local levels. Admittedly, the definition of EMR should take account of value-free scientific facts but an evaluation step is needed as well as the orientation towards human targets to avoid naturalistic fallacy. |

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.
