DESIGN OF THE ARCHITECTURE OF AN AUTOMATED BIBLIOGRAPHIC SYSTEM

Abstract

The development of information and computer technologies has led to the need to evolve the concept of universal bibliographic control. The creation of the Internet and web technologies has allowed this concept to reach a new level by creating a number of common international standards. In addition, to ensure control and exchange of bibliographic information public bibliographic and scientometric databases were created. Today, software for managing bibliographic records is in demand in various countries in Europe and America. The most popular software in these countries is EndNote, RefWorks, BibTeX and Zotero. The development of such automated bibliographic system and the adaptation of its functionality to standards and requirements within Ukraine is relevant for a number of reasons. The main reasons are the need for every scientist and lecturer of higher education institutions to confirm their scientific achievements when hiring, submitting scientific work to various competitions, to obtain a scientific degree and so on. Today the rapid development of information and computer technology allows us to abandon the list of scientific papers in manual mode and move to the use of specialized software on smartphones. That is why the architecture of an automated bibliographic system, which is developed as a mobile application based on the Android operating system, was designed. Java is chosen as the programming language in which the software will be written, as the vast majority of the Android operating system is written in this language. A number of technologies were chosen for the selected operating system. They will simplify the process of developing a mobile application. The three-layer architecture of the automated bibliographic system is designed on the basis of the multilevel model of architecture and the MVVM template. This architecture allows to provide the main non-functional characteristics of the quality of the developed software, as well as to effectively implement the rules of business logic within the object-oriented programming paradigm.
