Technologies for designing of distributed information systems to support research
Purpose. This article addresses the history and description of technological approaches used for the design of distributed information systems based on the example of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It describes the architectural solutions developed for the establishment of information systems designed to support research and for the principles of its integration with the external sources. Methodology. We define the functional requirements to the design such an information system that provides: uniform distributed information environment; information support aimed at research activities in both fundamental and applied areas; support for professionally- oriented training systems and an exchange of scientific documents; support for professionally- oriented access systems and interfaces for data warehouses; collective use of the acquired electronic literature, catalogs, bibliographic databases and publications; support for electronic versions of scientific journals published by the scientific organization; support for the adoption and implementation of organizational and administrative decisions. These requirements are determined, at first, by the information needs of researchers, and, secondly, ensuring reliability and long-term storage of information. The principles of organization of such a system is also defined. Findings. We discuss the rules of representation and transformation of metadata and describe the work with dictionaries, which are used to organize and classify information resources and to model the relationships between them. Originality/value. Finally, examples of practical implementation of these technologies are described using the existing information systems.
