Abstract

In this paper, we describe a project called SORIG (Service-Oriented Framework for Rural Information Grid) which has been undertaken specifically to address the information needs of the rural population of India. The novelty of this project is that it is geared towards integrating several existing systems built on heterogeneous platforms and operating environments under different administrative zones. In order to provide a user-centric view of the information resources and address the issue of scalability of the system, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been used. The project aims at providing "one-stop" access to various information resources for the benefit of the rural community that constitutes the largest section of the Indian population. The paper focuses on the implementation details and also discusses about several services that are available at the moment to the rural mass.
