Bionic-Oriented Information System for Innovation Activities

Abstract

Background/Objectives: The paper regards the primary issues of the development of the intellectual information support system for research and development of the perspective bionical technologies and forming and early evaluation of ideas, providing user required information on biological systems, biological technologies and their analogs gained by utilization the new approaches to problem-driven information resources search. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Metadata is a form of information resource description, used to categorize all containing data. This kind of description can be used for the bionic information resources, intended for providing support for perspective research. The information resource descriptions are supposed to be created using the uniform representation standard. According to it, every resource description contains two categories of features: Compulsory and semi-permanent. It is worth saying that the developed intellectual support system does not have analogs, but it brings together the world-wide experience of building the bibliographical databases, search systems development as though as network-based expert systems. Findings: The complex of theoretical and practical results, obtained during the experimentation, makes it possible to form an intellectual bionics support system for serving user needs. This system will provide the representation data on the biological prototypes and the existing bionic technologies and their analogs by applying new approaches for problem-driven information resources search. Using the described system will promote forming new intellectual products in bionics. This will be achieved by ideas forming and early-time evaluation, what assumes individually formed idea being evaluated by co-workers and if required, been completed together. Applications/Improvements: The mechanism of collective generation and optimal solutions selection can obtain information from different participants, table the problems and solve them by the collective intelligence which is more powerful that separate individuals. Building an expert network, used for information analysis, ideas generation, situation evaluation and optimal solutions selection, requires the specific control, implemented by separate ideas forming subsystem. This, using the intellectual support system, allows ideas formation and estimation in early stages.Keywords: Bionics, Bionic Technologies, Ideas Formation, Information Resources, Information Support, Innovational Process, Knowledge Base, Network Expertise
