Development of an Information System for Storing Digitized Works of the Almaty Academgorodok Research Institutes

Abstract

The present article describes the architecture of the integrated distributed information system created for storing digitized works of employees of Almaty Akademgorodok research institutes (Kazakhstan) and providing access to them using Web technology. Comparative analysis of two data storage systems for storing digitized works, Ceph and GlusterFS, is provided. The description of the software part of the information system is provided which consists of four subsystems: repository of digital objects, subsystem for managing current research information, subsystem of integration of distributed information resources, subsystem of access to distributed information resources based on Web technologies. The relation between the subsystems and their integration is described. The work defines the requirements to the repository of digital objects. The requirements for the repository of digital objects are defined; a comparative analysis of open source software used for these purposes is made.
