| Abstract | Hurricanes Katrina, Gustav, and Ike have revealed a deficiency in the ability to coordinate multiple agencies during the relief effort in both pre and post landfall events. The lack of a common operational picture (COP) has limited the ability of a unified effort in disaster response. The solution which can overcome the obstacles of communication interoperability and rapid dissemination of data to all involved agencies is a fully interactive web based mapping tool. The bases for the map is to utilize the wealth of information in the form of Web Feature Service (WFS)and Web Mapping Services (WMS) being supplied by both government agencies and commercial providers, such as, NOAA, NTSB, and utility suppliers. Coupling this information with the positions of resources, critical infrastructure, and incident reporting will yield a visual aide that allows coordination and the ability to quickly identify mission impacts and asset allocation. This web based application presents another capability in that it creates a network centric environment. Web basing allows any first responder with an internet access to become a sensor and provide additional intelligence to enhance relief efforts. The result is better resource management, faster decision cycles, and more importantly a reduction in loss of life due to delay or indecision. |

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.
