The formation of modern society as an information one is accompanied as a transformation of all its structures so as a rethinking of their role in the existence of society. Such a rethinking requires the introduction of new constructive approaches to the activities of institutions, is a system-forming factor in the informatization of public relations. It is the digitalization of various spheres of human existence, the increase in the amount of information that is produced by mankind, the need for its qualitative assessments, the need for its availability, which makes the library a special institution that can provide guidelines in the information space and form a special culture of the knowledge society. The aim of this research is to consider a modern approach to the modernization of library science, based on an ontological approach to the organization of knowledge bases, the reason for using which is the ability to provide prompt and high-quality satisfaction of requests and needs of library users based on local and remote information resources. The proposed research reveals the role of the library in the information society as a means of verifying information. The features of the initial stage of the transition of domestic libraries to the modernization path of development are characterized. External and internal factors that necessitate innovative changes in the industry are given. The innovations occurring in the implementation of the basic functions of libraries are considered: information, educational, cultural and educational, memorial, social and communicative. The features of the presentation of digital content in the framework of traditional library activities are considered, where the library is defined as a repository of structured various data with the possibility of their integration with other data sources and provides for the possibility of specifying its content by describing the subject area. An ontology of the content of the semantic library acts as a means of formalization. The usage of ontologies is connected with the impossibility of adequate automatic processing of natural texts by existing means, determines the search for new approaches and the introduction of innovative developments.

Ontological Approach

This article proposes an approach for designing a general subsystem of automatic generation of questions in intelligent learning systems. The designed subsystem allows various types of questions to be automatically generated based on information from the knowledge bases and save the generated questions in the subsystem knowledge base for future use. The main part of the subsystem is the automatic generation module of questions, which allows one to generate questions of various types based on existing question generation strategies in combination with the structural characteristics of knowledge bases built using OSTIS technology. In this article, a variety of strategies for automatically generated questions are proposed, the use of which allows various types of questions to be automatically generated, such as multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, questions of definition interpretation and etc. The most important part of the subsystem is the knowledge base, which stores the ontology of questions, including the question instances themselves. In this article, the knowledge base is constructed based on OSTIS technical standards. The type classification of automatically generated questions was developed, as well as the subject area for storing generated questions and the corresponding ontology described in the knowledge base of the subsystem. The generated questions are stored in the subsystem knowledge base in the form of SC-code, which is the OSTIS technology standard. When testing users, these automatically generated questions are converted to the corresponding natural language form through the natural language interface. Compared with the existing approaches, the approach proposed in this article has certain advantages, and the subsystem designed using this approach can be used in various OSTISbased systems driven by OSTIS technology.

Использование онтологического подхода является одним из современных подходов к созданию систем с базами знаний. Для построения жизнеспособных программных сервисов, работающих с такими базами знаний, и управления их коллективной разработкой предложена инструментальная среда. Метод инструментальной поддержки нацелен на создание и развитие библиотек онтолого-базированных операций, на использование их при конструировании программных средств, на распределение полномочий по созданию компонентов систем с базами знаний, на контроль и интеграцию их в облачную сопровождаемую систему поддержки принятия решений на основе знаний. The modern approach to creating systems with knowledge bases is based on an ontological approach. A tool environment is proposed for building viable software services that work with such knowledge bases and managing their collective development. The tool support method is aimed at creating and developing libraries of ontology-based operations, using them in the design of software tools, allocating authority to create components of systems with knowledge bases, and controlling and integrating them into a cloud-based, supported knowledge-based decision support system.

The aim of the article is to reveal a fundamental relation between the philosophy of creativity and education in the knowledge society. Knowledge society as a special social space of modern society is formed in the middle of the 20th century with a new system of educational organizations, therefore training a knowledge worker who is able to be productive in a rapidly changing knowledge and technological environment is one of the main challenges of modern education. The contemporary philosophy of creativity has an important impact on education in knowledge society. The creative nature of learning determines the knowledge worker’s ability to achieve social, technical and technological innovations, while research work forms a dynamic competence and socio-economic performance. The article stresses that creativity remains one of the most important educational goals of knowledge society.

Constructivist Model

The action-task approach is a modern approach to language learning and teaching, offering more opportunities for active participation in the class and greater engagement in the learning process than traditional approaches, which include for example the communicative approach. The aim of this publication is to show the action-task approach from multiple perspectives: pedagogical, glottodidactic and neurobiological. In the pedagogical dimension, it refers to the issues of the new culture of learning and teaching and to the constructivist model of learning. In practice, this means that learners acquire knowledge and skills actively through their own actions. This method implies that classes are oriented towards shaping learners‘ independence and their gradual acquisition of autonomy. In the modern school, the learner acquires, apart from knowledge, which is no longer the priority of teaching, the competences needed for future work. In the modern knowledge society, these competences are becoming increasingly important, as they are more difficult to acquire than generally available knowledge. Therefore, during the modern learning process the student is provided with conditions for the development of social, methodological as well as personal competences, which play a very important role in achieving individual well-being. The action-task approach is not only a constructivist way of learning and teaching languages, but also a philosophy, referring to considerations of learning, teaching, perception of reality, communication and interaction with fellow learners, and formation of attitudes and values needed in human life.

The Journal of Bulgarian Geographical Society was the first scientific geographical journal in the country established in 1933. During the long period of its development, it became a leading journal for publishing scientific results in geography and related interdisciplinary fields in Bulgaria. Geography of the 21st century is expected to contribute to the development of human capital and the knowledge society, to offer place-specific solutions for sustainable regional development and use of the planet’s natural and human capital. One of the main goals of the Bulgarian Geographical Society is to stimulate the geographic community to search for smart spatial solutions which can contribute to meet the challenges of modern society. The Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society will contribute to the achievement of this goal by providing a platform for scientists in the main fields of geography and the interrelated sciences as well as decision-makers, and the interested public to share their knowledge in an efficient and open manner. In these days of continuous speeding up of paces of work and life, the idea of facilitating the sharing of existing knowledge in order to create synergies, new knowledge, and innovation is more than timely and our journal can join the efforts to achieve these goals.

Society Today

Research is a vital part of the social tapestry of a modern society. It is imperative to find suitable ways to respond to societal priorities. It can be an open-ended enquiry into the essence of phenomena, of who we are, individually and collectively, and of the world we inhabit. It not only enables derived knowledge, but is also a means of preserving, fabricating and resynthesizing existing knowledge and/for creating new knowledge. Apart from that research is a vital pillar of higher education. Moreover, in knowledge society today, research is deemed to be of more value when it rightly augments the economic development processes. Through in depth literature review and contextual analysis, the aim of this chapter is to aid institutions and scholars in recognizing the gains of adapting inclusive approach, suggesting strategies for promoting research culture so as to enhance scholarly communication apart from being a support system in knowledge society, so that the world of academia continues to excel in its role of knowledge creation, knowledge transfer and knowledge dissemination.

Due to increases in the number of inhabitants and their concentrations in densely populated areas, there is a growing need in modern society to be cautious towards the impact of catastrophic natural events. An earthquake is a particularly major example of this. Knowledge of the seismic vulnerability of buildings in Europe and around the world has deepened and expanded over the last 20 years, as a result of the many devastating earthquakes. In this study, a review of seismic risk assessment methods in Croatia was presented with respect to the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability of buildings in the fourth largest city (Osijek) in Croatia. The proposed algorithm for a detailed risk assessment was applied to a database and is currently in its initial stage.

External Observer

Observing, describing, and analyzing journalism as part of society requires theories on a macro level. Unlike normative theories, which criticize journalism with respect to its achievements and failures within society, systems theory operates with the concept of function in a non-normative sense. Based on the groundwork of Talcott Parsons’ theory of social systems, Niklas Luhmann developed systems theory further and radicalized it by strictly avoiding any kind of structural conservatism. His approach is built on the assumption that social systems operate autonomously on the basis of the functional differentiation to their environment. Macro-level systems, i.e., societal systems, fulfill unique functions for and within society. Functional autonomy and singularity make a modern society highly efficient but force each system to rely on the functional performances of all other societal systems. Hence, societal systems are structurally coupled and interdependent. Epistemologically, systems do not exist as ontological units but are strictly observer-related, be the observer the system itself or an external observer, such as the scientific community is. In journalism research, Luhmann’s systems theory has been applied to journalism as a societal system. Several competing approaches with different perspectives on the system observed (journalism, the mass media, or the public sphere) have been developed with respect to identifying the basic characteristics on which the system operates. Despite their differences they have this in common: journalism is not considered the sum of individual journalists and their (individual) way of working, instead, the systems-theoretical perspective is holistic. However, compared to theories of professionalism, which is also a holistic concept, systems theory neither identifies journalism with the profession of journalism, nor commits it to professional journalism. Instead, the structure of journalism is flexible, i.e., functionally equivalent, as long as its function is fulfilled. This function can be specified: journalism provides society periodically with current, independent, factual, and relevant information. Empirically, systems theory helps defining the population of journalists by deducing it from its function. Unlike mere empirical approaches, which arbitrarily draw samples from an unknown population, it is possible to clearly draw distinctions between journalism and other forms of public communication, such as public relations, advertising, propaganda, or lay communication. Still, it is challenging to operationalize such an abstract theory, as it is not specially made for hypothesis-driven research.
