Automated System for Recording the Results of Scientific
Activity of Academic Institutions’ employees
The article describes the automated system for creating and maintaining a database for recording the results of scientific activities of employees of academic institutions, developed by specialists of the Joint Supercomputer Center RAS. The information base of the system contains related data on the following classes of objects: persons (authors of publications and reports), organizations and their subdivisions; publications at analytical, monographic and summary levels; copyright certificates; scientific events (conferences, symposia, seminars); reports. The system reflects the sources of funding for scientific research, based on the results of which the works were published, as well as the affiliations of each author indicated in the articles. A distinctive feature of the system is the introduced concept of “equivalent” objects. Objects are considered equivalent if they are represented in the system by different metadata, but referring to the same physical entity. Such objects are “persons” corresponding to the same author with different spellings of the last name in the bibliographic descriptions of publications; organizations with different versions of names; articles which are published without changes in different languages. The system includes two modules - administrative and user. The administrative module is intended for entering and editing data. The user module of the system is a special search engine that searches for information, visualizes it, navigates through related resources and exports data.
