Development of IEOPP SB RAS Knowledge Base as a Tool for Resolving Research Problems

Abstract

Progress in the field of modern technologies significantly expands the horizons of research activities, but it is associated with increasing requirements for both researchers and research organizations. This work is aimed at analyzing the experience of developing a knowledge base for a scientific institution, taking into account research tasks set, and demonstrating its application. The Knowledge Base of the Institute of Economics and Industrial Production Organization SB RAS is given as an example of such a structure. The purpose of this knowledge base is to transform the initial data on resources, facilities, technologies, state and development of the macro-region Asian Russia, and achieving a qualitatively new level of understanding of the socio-economic processes taking place in it. The developed Knowledge Base includes an updated database that provides researchers with access to structured data on socio-economic indicators, companies, investment projects, and technologies. In addition, it includes a model package focused on expanding research tools for analyzing, predicting data and data relationships. A key task of the Knowledge Base is analysis of the economic space, so it was decided to link the data to GIS coordinates and develop methods of GIS modeling and forecasting of socio-economic indicators of territorial development.
