Informational Resources for Innovations in Engineering Education

Abstract

The high growth rates of digital data induce enterprises and organizations to pay more attention to information management. This is reflected in proper standards, frameworks and other normative and guidance documents. In these conditions the tasks of building the competencies of the specialists in managing business information and implementing the relevant training programs for engineering personnel are shown to be very relevant for developing the innovative economy. The list of information management standards is given, and the BiSL framework is highlighted to be important in outlining on the macrolevel the range of professional competencies of the personnel involved in information management processes. Since both Russia and Kazakhstan do not have yet full-fledged and thoroughly practice-approved competency standards for business information management specialists working in various applied fields, it is proposed to use European experience in creating a unified framework of professional ICT competence when developing educational programs. The determining role of world informational resources and technologies for their use in forming the basic infrastructure of innovations is substantiated. The informational resources specific to various staged of the innovation life cycle are characterized. The concise description of the project for creating the system of innovation informational support in the Republic of Kazakhstan is given. The requirements to the metainformation database containing descriptions of the informational resources are formulated. The introduction is given to the metadata format based on the «Dublin Core» which defines the composition and semantics of data elements. Within the framework of the system being developed it is proposed to build a procedure for searching the relevant information based on the use of production models.
