Automated system for creating and supporting a database of research results of academic organizations’ employees

The article describes the automated system for creating and maintaining a database of scientific works of academic institution’s employees, developed by specialists of the Joint Supercomputer Center RAS. The system’s information base contains data about objects: the authors, related organizations (places of their work), publications at the analytical and monographic levels, sources (publications at the summary level — journals, collections), reports made at scientific conferences, symposia, seminars. The system has an administrative module designed to enter and edit data. The user’s module of the system is a special search engine that searches for information about publications, sources, reports, events, authors by processing search queries. A distinctive feature of the system is the introduced concept of «equivalent» objects. 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 Architecture of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge

The architecture of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge (CDSSK) is determined by its functions and objectives. CDSSK includes a set of subspaces related to various scientific fields. The unity of subspaces is provided by unified principles for constructing subspaces and ontological connections between their objects. Each subspace includes digital objects, metadata containing facts related to objects, and subject onotologies that provide advanced searches and navigation through space. All information is reflected in the CDSSK according to the rules of the «semantic WEB». The content of each subspace includes a core (time-tested reliable 8 scientific results) and a superstructure — new scientific results that have passed preliminary examination.

The Optimal Processor Cores' Number choice for the Parallel Cluster Multiple Labeling Technique on HighPerformance Computing Systems

The article is about the research of a optimum number of processor cores for launching the Parallel Cluster Multiple Labeling Technique on modern supercomputer systems installed in the JSCC RAS. This technique may be used in any field as a tool for differentiating large lattice clusters, because it is given input in a format independent of the application. At the JSCC RAS, this tool was used to study the problem of the spread of epidemics, for which an appropriate multiagent model was developed. In the course of imitation experiments, a variant of the Parallel Cluster Multiple Labeling Technique for percolation Hoshen-Kopelman clusters related to the tag linking mechanism, which can also be used in any area as a tool for differentiating large-size lattice clusters, was used to be improved on a multiprocessor system.

Development of the Software for the Electronic Library «Scientifi c Heritage of Russia»

The data structure and software of the Scientific Heritage of Russia electronic library was created in 2007 and currently does not meet the needs of the system. The article describes the decisions made when implementing a new version of the software. These decisions affect both the organization of the database structure and the protocols for interacting with the system. Particular attention is paid to the development of information retrieval tools.

Formation of digital resources for the electronic library «Scientific Heritage of Russia»

The article describes methods for the formation and presentation of digital images of objects of various types (printed publications, archival materials, museum items, audio-video materials) for the electronic library «Scientific Heritage of Russia».

Some aspects of 3D-objects presentation in a common digital space of scientific knowledge

The paper deals with the issues of multimedia objects presentation in a common digital space of scientific knowledge. Examples of using new technological solutions for transferring images of physical objects into virtual space are given. The technology for representing digital 3D-models in the environment of a common digital space of scientific knowledge is proposed. The principle of scientific virtual exhibitions formation in the environment of a common digital space of scientific knowledge is considered.

Functionality of a common digital space of scientific knowledge

The volume of scientific information appearing in the world today creates serious problems with its processing and use. In this regard, it becomes necessary to filter scientific information and extract from it knowledge that is novel and unique. The aggregate of such information in digital form, together with the tools to ensure its updating, preservation and provision to users, is defined as a common digital space of scientific knowledge. It consists of a set of thematic subspaces related to various areas of science, built on the same principles. Despite the fact that there are some examples of formalization of knowledge in different subject areas, there is no generalized approach to defining the digital space of scientific knowledge. This paper discusses the problems and tasks of the formation of a such space and the development of tools that provide the ability to study information in it.

Using the subject ontology of the unified digital space of scientific knowledge in scientometric tasks

The Formation of a Common digital space of scientific knowledge (CDSSK) is one of the priorities of the modern period and involves the use of unified approaches to the selection of information, its presentation, navigation, and terminological content. When constructing an subject ontology of the scientific direction — «Microbiology» — we applied a method of statistical calculation of the frequency distribution of keywords (KW) in information arrays formed as a result of thematic search for information on Microbiology. We assume that the frequency of KW occurrence can be considered as indicator of the scientific topic development intensity. The results of the study show that the size of the pool of keywords in categories can serve as an indicator that shows the breadth of the spectrum of research diversity, methods and objects: the more keywords in a category, the greater the diversity of research directions.

National Research Computer Network: infrastructure and service basis for a Common digital space of scientific knowledge

The paper provides general information on the architecture of the new generation National Research Computer Network (NIKS), operated and developed by JSCC RAS on the assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation as an administrator and operator since 2019. The key functions and directions of functioning of NIKS today and in the short term development, some urgent tasks of the sphere of science and education of the country, requiring the engaging of the existing infrastructure and service capabilities of the network, as well as its progressive comprehensive modernization. Information is provided on the current state of NIKS with the geographical and target user coverage within the country, the groundwork formed and the potential expansion of areas of international cooperation with foreign national research and education networks and network consortia in the interests of the sphere of science and education of Russia. The opportunities provided by NIKS for improvement of a Common digital space of scientific knowledge, increasing the level of accessibility, information security and network protection of its resources and services are denoted. Individual specialized scientific services, information technology services and services for collective use functioning on the basis of the NIKS infrastructure, built, including on promising and massively exploited technologies of federated authentication and developed in cooperation with the global research and education community are presented.
