Architecture of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge

Abstract

The architecture of the Common Digital Space of Scientific Knowledge (CDSSK) is determined by its functions and objectives. CDSSK includes a set of subspaces related to various scientific fields. The unity of subspaces is provided by unified principles for constructing subspaces and ontological connections between their objects. Each subspace includes digital objects, metadata containing facts related to objects, and subject ontologies that provide advanced searches and navigation through space. All information is reflected in the CDSSK according to the rules of the "semantic WEB". The content of each subspace includes a core (time-tested reliable scientific results) and a superstructure - new scientific results that have passed preliminary examination.
