Development of the WDS Russian-Ukrainian Segment

Abstract

Establishment of the Russian-Ukrainian WDS Segment and its state of the art, main priorities and research activities are described. One of the high priority tasks for Segment members is development of a common information space -transition from Legacy Systems and individual services to a common, globally interoperable, distributed data system that incorporates emerging technologies and new scientific data activities. The new system will build on the potential and added value offered by advanced interconnections between data management and data processing components for disciplinary and multidisciplinary applications. Thus, the principles of the architectural organization of intelligent data processing systems are discussed in this paper.

Intelligent analysis and the systemic adjustment of scientific data in interdisciplinary research

“…This principle was proposed by the WDC-Ukraine and was approved by the World Data System as an example for other interdisciplinary centers [4]. The interaction of scientific institutions, including that within the framework of the Russian-Ukrainian segment of the World Data System [11,15], supported by the NAS of Ukraine, Russian Academy of Sciences, and the Russian and Ukrainian Funds for Fundamental Research, allows the WDC-Ukraine and its partners to successfully conduct interdisciplinary research in geoscience, in particular, analysis of complex ecological, social, and economic systems in the context of their sustainable development (ten joint Ukrainian-Russian projects have been completed).…”
