Abstract: Virtual research centre of digital preservation in Europe provides a natural basis for long-term consolidation of digital preservation research and expertise. Spatial Data Infrastructure will cover technical methods for preservation, access and most importantly re-use of data holdings over the whole lifecycle; legal and economic issues including costs and governance issues as well as digital rights; and outreach within and outside the consortium to help to create a discipline of data curators with appropriate qualifications. Main tasks of Spatial Data Infrastructure SDI development are building global infrastructure for IT and geodata; satellite information harmonization; usage of agreed upon set of standards; clear documentation describing the parts of the system; interoperability between independently created applications and databases; common standards within their interfaces, protocols and data formats; and finally support of a general data policy for data creation, access, and support of satellite information. Fundamental principle of Russian segment of SDI is providing interoperability – the ability of interaction for heterogeneous services and data catalogues within the bounds of a unified informational system. The Russian segment of distributed informational system has been built on the basis of EOLI-XML and SSE technologies.

Abstract:

Currently, Russian institutions are almost completely disconnected from Western information resources and services related to the publication of scientific journals. In such conditions, the task of replacing the departed services, reorientation to domestic scientific journals, Russian online library resources has become particularly actual. In the largest bibliographic database the eLibrary.ru, focused on Russian-language scientific publications, collected information about almost 15 thousand Russian-language journals. In the eLibrary.ru there is an analytical system "Russian Science Citation Index" that processes metadata of articles from more than 5 thousand Russian scientific journals. Is the eLibrary.ru ready to serve as a national bibliographic database? For what reason "white lists" of journals appear in Russian organizations?

The main problem of the RSCI is the quality of the constructed ratings of scientific journals. The methods of calculating ratings over the past years have caused certain criticisms. The paper provides an example of a rating of journals from the section "Mathematics" built in the RSCI. Journals that are little known among professional mathematicians were in the first positions. Serious deformations in the ratings of the eLibrary.ru undermine the confidence of scientists in the assessments of the credibility of Russian journals proposed by the eLibrary.ru. The reaction of some universities and scientific organizations is quite expected: organizations are beginning to introduce their own criteria for the success of the publication activities of employees associated with the publication of articles in journals from the so-called "white lists". The white list of journals is compiled, as a rule, by the expert councils of the organization specifically for each discipline and scientific direction. Scientometric indicators may be taken into account when compiling white lists, but they are not the primary criterion for the selection of journals. White lists can now become a reasonable addition to the ratings of bibliographic databases.

Abstract:

The paper considers an information system designed to represent a subject area related to science and its features. Highlighted general concepts for formal descriptions of such a subject area in the knowledge base of the semantic library. The peculiarity of these areas is that the data structure is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, the means of organizing knowledge, which is a semantic library, should be sufficiently universal and not require deep technical knowledge. The paper describes the functionality of the system and its use. For each area, the set of resources can differ both in format and in the set of the resources themselves. The set of concepts that form the description of the library's content should be so universal that it can be adapted to the needs of a particular area. Three levels of metadata are used to represent the data.

Abstract:

The Open access movement has a long history. In 2002 the Budapest Open access initiative was first announced. However, the problem of Open access has not yet been fully and definitively resolved. In 2018 The European Union has adopted Plan S, which calls for making Open access a reality by 2020. Plan S emphasizes the importance of self-archiving of articles and the role of Preprint’s archives (servers) for scientific results placement. It is noted that Preprint archives have a great potential for editorial and publishing innovations. Scientific journals with limited reader access that operate on a commercial basis do not give up their positions. But even here we see some progress. Journals have become less rigid in their policy towards preprints and post-prints.

More and more foreign scientists are becoming adherents of the "Fair open access" movement, which offers a new organizational solution. The journal must have a scientific organization or non-profit Foundation as a founder, that hires a group of executors to provide editorial and publishing services. Editors and publishers should not have their own commercial interests. The scientific journal should be funded from the general contribution of organizations.

The article considers a modern type of online scientific journal — the overlay journal. The cost of an issue of the overlay journal is so low that the journal can easily implements the "free for the author, free for the reader" scheme. The overlay journal is based on the public servers of preprints. The online overlay journal reviews the article received from the archive. If the article is accepted for publication, the article metadata is published on the journal website, and the full text of corrected article is re-archived. This way of working does not overload the archive functionality, but it allows to reduce the financial burden on the overlay journal.

Abstract:

Interdisciplinary thematic projects implemented by means of the electronic library "Scientific heritage of Russia" allow integrating objects of various nature (printed publications, archival documents, multimedia objects) into a single thematic resource and making it accessible to users. The approaches to the formation of interdisciplinary thematic collections in the digital space of scientific knowledge are investigated. Algorithms for the formation and presentation of a digital interdisciplinary collection are presented. The method of creation and presentation of virtual collections in the information environment of the electronic library "Scientific heritage of Russia". The main types of sections present in most projects are indicated. The main stages of the formation of an interdisciplinary collection in the digital space of knowledge have been formed and described, including the composition of the collection sections, sources for presenting collection materials, dispatching work with sources, the formation of metadata, the main types of sections, etc. An example of the application of the content formation methodology for creating an interdisciplinary collection is given.

Abstract: В статье рассматривается подход к управлению идентификацией пользователей корпоративной сети учреждений РАН. Управление идентификацией представляет собой процесс, охватывающий весь жизненный цикл учетных записей пользователей и контроль над правами доступа в распределенных средах. Рассматриваемый подох позволяет интегрировать управление идентификацией пользователей сетевых, вычислительных и информационных сервисов. Архитектура предлагаемого решения основывается на открытых стандартах, использовании многоуровневой компонентной архитектуры LDAP-систем (OpenLDAP, iPlanet Directory) и доступа к ним как через локальные, так и через глобальные сети. Эти работы поддержаны грантами РФФИ 03-07-90140в, 04-07-96003, 02-07-90305ск.
В качестве основного вида хранилищ конфигурационной информации сетевых сервисов сейчас обычно рассматриваются LDAP каталоги. Во множестве конфигурационной информации сетевых сервисов выделяются данные, представляющие интерес для информационно-справочных сервисов – так называемые «метаданные сетевых сервисов».
Поскольку LDAP каталоги часто используются в качестве корпоративных справочников общего назначения, чтобы осуществить принципы «единой точки доступа», «согласованной модификации данных» как информационной, так и сетевой и вычислительной инфраструктур научного учреждения, проводится сравнение схем метаданных информационно-справочных системы ИСИР и стандартных схем LDAP каталогов.
Кроме того, уделяется внимание и такому варианту использования LDAP каталогов как репозитория хранимых объектов информационно-справочных сервисов. Предлагается способы отображения RDFS схемы данных в LDAP схемы.

Abstract: We describe hereby the methodology and technology for creating of the multi-purposed information environment ‘T System’ based on the extension of the digital library T-Libra. The environment is destined for the integration of resources and services, which a typical for digital library with flexible full-text search, virtual museum, digital archive, research laboratory and educational server. The methodological basis this sort of extension is a hybrid two-level ontology based on interaction of functional systems (top level), concepts library and thesauri library (lower level). The technological basis of extension is an administrative division, which has tools for flexible set-up of T-System’s, as well as an unified search system includes the mechanisms of nonlinear cascade inquiries, which of that generate a relevant functional systems and combine the results of full-text search, related thesauri and concepts, text metadata and non-text objects of different modalities (graphics, sound, video etc.). The above-mentioned environment is designed in three-tier architecture (Web-browser / Web-server + Application server / DB server) with using of special indexing system for increase of search effectiveness, as well as of external logic which is built-up in Application Server.

Abstract:

One of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge (CDSSK) main components are the subject ontologies of individual thematic subspaces, which include the basic concepts related to this scientific area. The constructing subject ontologies task at the initial phase requires the array of key terms formation in a given scientific are with the subsequent establishment of links between them. A similar task is in the encyclopedias formation in terms of the articles (slots) list generating that determines their content. One of the sources for the formation of the key terms array can be the metadata of articles published in the leading scientific journals. Namely, the author's key terms ("keywords" in the terminology of the journals editors) quoted by the article. To make a conclusion about the possibility of using this approach to the subject ontologies formation, it is necessary to conduct the author's key terms array preanalysis, both in terms of real correspondence to the main areas of research in this science branch and in terms of the distribution of the certain terms occurrence frequency. This article presents the results of the occurrence frequency analysis of the author's key terms in Russian and English, carried out on the software processing basis of several thousand articles from leading Russian journals in mathematics, computer science and physics, reflected in the MathNet database. An assessment was made of the distribution of key terms correspondence (as phrases) and individual words to the Bradford's law, and the key terms cores within the thematic direction were identified.

Abstract: Статья посвящена проблеме формирования метаданных коллекции периодической печати 19 – начала 20 веков, создаваемой в Научной библиотеке Казанского государственного университета (НБ КГУ) при поддержке Российского гуманитарного научного фонда (проект № 04-01-12032в).
Собрание местной периодической печати НБ КГУ является одним из самых полных, в нее входят практически все газеты, издававшиеся в Казани в 19 веке, цензорские экземпляры газет, в которых сохранились первые редактуры произведений А.М. Горького, В.Г. Короленко, Н.Г. Гарина-Михайловского и других. Собрание периодической печати активно используются при научных изысканиях. При таком интенсивном использовании часть коллекции пришла в негодность и не выдается читателям. Кроме того, сказывается естественное старение и разрушение бумаги. Таким образом, существует реальная угроза потери части коллекции, которая, как исторический источник, имеет не только национальное, но и международное значение.
В связи с вышеизложенным, приоритетным направлением в создании электронной библиотеки КГУ (ЭБ КГУ) является создание коллекции электронных документов на основе собрания местной периодической печати конца XIX – начала XX вв.
