Методика виявлення подієвої основи інформаційних операцій

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to create and justify a methodology for identifying the event basis of information operations. The implementation of this methodology will determine the time frame of the information operation, identify the main events that accompany the information operation, and see the techniques of information impact. At the same time, information operations are reflected in thematic information flows. To get the dynamics of the thematic flow on a certain topic, you can use content monitoring systems. As the content-monitoring system, the authors chose the InfoStream system. This InfoStream system provides a search, as well as viewing the list and full texts of relevant documents, outputting graphs of the dynamics of information flows. The proposed methodology for identifying the event basis of information operations covers the following stages of the study, the result of each of which can be regarded as an independent information product: formation of a thematic information flow on the topic; investigation of the dynamics of the received flow, identification of signs of an information operation; narrowing the time frame of the information flow, obtaining a more representative sample of documents; definition of the terminological basis for the description of events within the scope of the subject area under study. Identify sources of information about events (if necessary); clustering, identifying the main events that accompany the information operation. The clusters of documents determined as a result of the proposed methodology correspond to the main events that accompany the information operation. Further meaningful analysis of these clusters makes it possible to identify the main characters of the information operation, to disclose the technique of its implementation.
