AUTOMATION OF A NETWORK OF PROBLEMS USING PROGRAMMING TOOLS

Abstract

One of the directions of development of metadata of electronic libraries is their selective visualization with the provision of object search in the visual network representation of metadata. One of such systems is also developed by the author of EaAIS “PoiskUM”. In the “PoiskUM” system, an attempt has been made to programmatically implement an electronic library designed for personal use and providing object search functions. In contrast to the classical dictionary search, the object search system provides the reader with the opportunity to fully or partially search through the elements of the library collection and “identify” the desired objects among them on the basis of search features located in cognitive memory. In this system, the user can see a complex network consisting of a network of scientific and technical problems on the computer screen, a network of innovative cycles of technical products related to the problems shown, and a network of library documents. This network is visualized by a representative of a special class of applied software systems – a graph editor. The graph editor builds network elements in its memory in the form of objects and shows them in its windows in the form of a table displaying the attributes of objects. Maintaining and developing the functions of replenishing the network of problems require significant manual labor from the owner of the electronic library. This article discusses proposals for automating the replenishment of structural elements of the network of problems in relation to the metadata of an electronic library that supports object search.
