Denotatum-based models of knowledge creation for monitoring and evaluating R&D program implementation

The paper presents two semiotic models for a description of development stages of indicators, including generation microprocesses of expert knowledge about developed indicators. For the description of stages of these microprocesses, a new notion of “Frege's space” is introduced. A related example is an application of two semiotic models to knowledge acquisition for an expert knowledge base named the proactive dictionary, which is a component of an evaluation system. This dictionary enables experts to fix stages of indicators development, to present the results of developing different variants of indicators in graphic form, to compare and evaluate these variants.
