Model of the integrated distributed library information system of Almaty Akademgorodok

Abstract

Описана модель интегрированной распределенной библиотечной информационной системы, объединяющей оцифровываемый книжный фонд и научные труды Казахстанского инженерно-технологического университета и ряда научно-исследовательских институтов, расположенных в Академгородке г. Алматы. Проанализированы возможности и потребности всех участников научно-образовательного кластера для построения оптимальной архитектуры распределенной информационной системы. Приведено описание и представлены результаты реализации подсистем цифрового репозитория интегрированной распределенной библиотечной информационной системы Академгородка г. Алматы. The purpose of the work is to create an integrated distributed library information system that allows preserving the result of intellectual activity of Kazakhstan Engineering Technological University and a number of research institutes located in the Academgorodok of Almaty in an actual form and to provide access to them based on Web technologies. The relevance of the work is related to the fact that significant amounts of information obtained as a result of research of these institutions, their continuous expansion and heterogeneity in the nature of storage and distribution, along with the lack of unified access to them create significant problems of their effective use. These problems lead to the need to find new approaches and solutions to the problems of creating a repository of information resources, their organization, means and ways to access users. In addition, the work is consistent with the goals set within the framework of the State Program “Digital Kazakhstan” for 2017-2020. The following results were obtained in the present work: 1. The analysis of the capabilities and needs of all participants of the scientificand educational cluster for building the optimal architecture of the distributed information system is carried out. 2. The model of integrated distributed library information system of Almaty Akademgorodok was developed. 3. The results of the implementation of its subsystems are presented. As a result of the conducted research, it was concluded that this system corresponds to the needs of participants in the scientific and educational cluster both in terms of information content and support for sectoral and linguistic specifics, since it solves the main tasks for these systems: providing a system for reliable long-term storage of digital (electronic) documents with preservation of all semantic and functional characteristics of source documents; ensuring “transparent” search and access of users to documents, both for familiarization and for the analysis of the facts contained therein; organization of collection of information on remote digital repositories supporting the OAI-PMH, SRW/SRU, and Z39.50 protocols.

Development of queries using the Z39.50 protocol in distributed information systems to support scientific and educational activities

“…The work [2] describes a model of an integrated distributed library information system that combines the digitized book collection and scientific works of the Kazakhstan University of Engineering and Technology and some research institutes located in the Academic City of Almaty. The possibilities and needs of all participants of the scientific and educational cluster for building an optimal architecture of a distributed information system are analyzed.…”
