Functionality of a common digital space of scientific knowledge

Abstract

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.
