Abstract: The paper is presents approaches to solving the problem of creating realistic interactive 3D web-collections of museum exhibits. The presentation of 3D-models of objects based on oriented polygonal structures is considered. The method of creating a virtual collection of 3D-models using interactive animation technology is described. It is also shown how a full-fledged 3D-model is constructed on the basis of individual exposure frames using photogrammetry methods. The paper assesses the computational complexity of constructing realistic 3D-models. For the creation of 3D-models in order to provide them to a wide range of users via the Internet, the so-called interactive animation technology is used. The paper presents the differences between the representations of full-fledged 3D-models and 3D-models presented in the form of interactive multiplication. The technology of creating 3D-models of objects from the funds of the State Biological Museum named K.A Timiryazev and the formation on their basis of the digital library “Scientific Heritage of Russia” of a virtual exhibition dedicated to the scientific activities of M.M. Gerasimov and his anthropological reconstructions, and vividly demonstrating the possibility of integrating information resources by means of an electronic library. The format of virtual exhibitions allows you to combine the resources of partners to provide a wide range of users with collections stored in museum, archival and library collections.

Abstract: Этот доклад – попытка найти ответ на вопрос о том, каково адекватное место компьютера в музее вообще, и в музейной экспозиции, в частности. Исходной же посылкой в моих рассуждениях является тот очевидный факт, что уже сейчас практически все молодое поколение посетителей – это люди, для которых экран – один из основных источников поступления информации, а клавиатура – наиболее удобный и привычный способ ее генерации. С этим считаются все – библиотеки, развлекательные центры, даже театры, не говоря уже о вокзалах, аэропортах, гостиницах и магазинах, а также фискальных органах, банках и т.п. Поэтому преодоление отставания музеев в этой области – это серьезный фактор их выживания и сохранения своего места в обществе, возможности влиять на происходящие в нем процессы и формировать будущее культуры.

Abstract:

The aggregation of scientific information is essential for a comprehensive analysis of geological objects. This paper explores the potential and possibilities of semantic search to select thematically similar publications in the geological domain. Various language models are examined in the context of identifying similarities and differences in texts describing mineral deposits. After additional training of language models, a significant improvement in search results is demonstrated. Two web services are presented, based on a method for calculating the semantic similarity between texts and providing a quantitative assessment of their similarity.

Abstract: The article discusses the process of creating and developing a library and museum as part of the educational and scientific material base of the Cabinet of Geography at the Department of Geography and Ethnography of Imperial Kazan University. From the annual reports on the activities of the Department it can be seen that the acquisition of the Library with new editions, and the Ethnographic Museum with collections, was systematic. These processes were interconnected and aimed at creating a high-quality integrated material base for the development of the educational and scientific process. The article emphasizes that the leading role in the processes of forming the library and museum belonged to the head of the Department of Geography and Ethnography, Petr Ivanovich Krotov and Bruno Friedrichovich Adler. Peter Krotov created the Cabinet of Geography. Bruno Adler improved and developed not only the Cabinet of Geography itself, but also ethnographic science in the Volga Region and Russia as a whole. For example, having academic ties with Russian and foreign scientists, Bruno Adler received many publications and subjects for the Cabinet of Geography as a gift. This allowed for the year to increase several times, both the library and the museum under the Cabinet of Geography. The scientifically organized cabinet, which has comprehensive collections and professional literature, has become a quality source base for the development of ethnographic science at Kazan University.

Abstract:

The paper describes new approaches to collecting data on scientific publications from open access systems with the subject of Earth Science. Based on the developed and adapted approaches, an archive of scientific publications (repository) and a set of programs for accessing scientific publications for collecting, searching, filtering, cataloging and managing publications and their metadata have been created. In order to improve the availability of publications and other related data on the websites of the SGM RAS, the Wiki – Geology of Russia system has been developed. This system is a thematic rubric in the direction of "Mineral deposits of Russia", with an additional topic "Mineralogy". All articles must have a link to the source of information from the archive of scientific publications and, optionally, additional links on similar topics. Wiki – Geology of Russia is the first step in creating a knowledge base on mineral deposits.
