Abstract
The problem of extracting semantic information from an electronic document specified in the vector graphics format and containing a graphic model (diagram) built using a graphic editor is considered. The problem is to program retrieving certain structural properties and parametric circuit and entering them into a database for later use. Based on the analysis of the capabilities of graphic editors, a conclusion has made about the relevance of this task for universal editors that are not tied to specific graphic notations and use open graphic document formats, which allows program processing. The proposed approach considers graphic documents at three levels of abstraction: conceptual (semantic properties of a schema), logical (presentation of semantic properties at the internal level of the document) and physical (internal organization of a graphic document). The solution to the problem is based on the construction of a conceptual-logical mapping, i.e., mapping a conceptual model of a circuit to a logical model of a graphic document, according to its physical model. Within the framework of the approach, an algorithm for constructing the indicated mapping is developed, presented in the form of an object-oriented pseudocode. The study of internal markup in open graphic formats made it possible to build models for identifying circuit elements and their connections to each other, which is necessary for a specific application of the algorithm. Expressions for addressing schema elements and accessing their properties are obtained. The proposed approach is implemented on the base of a situation-oriented paradigm, within which the extraction process is driven by a hierarchical situational model. The processed data is specified in the situational model in the form of virtual documents displayed on heterogeneous external data sources. For the problem being solved, we consider the mapping to two variants of vector graphics formats: to a "flat" markup file and to a set of such files in an electronic archive. The practical use of the results is illustrated by the example of extracting semantic information from graphical models developed at various stages of database design.

Summary
Рассматривается задача извлечения семантической информации из электронного документа, заданного в формате векторной графики и содержащего графическую модель (схему), построенную с помощью графического редактора. В целом специализированные редакторы ориентированы на жестко заданные графические нотации (системы условных обозначений и правил записи схем) и предоставляют ограниченный набор сведений о свойствах схемы Целью исследования являлось достижение понимания того, как может быть извлечена семантическая информация из схемы, содержащейся в электронном документе, созданном в среде универсального графического редактора в формате векторной графики. В техническом аспекте задача состоит в программном извлечении интересующих структурных и параметрических свойств графической схемы и занесение их в базу данных для последующего использования. Идея решения задачи состоит в том, чтобы исследовать особенности задания условных обозначений на внутреннем уровне в различных форматах векторной графики и на этой основе научиться идентифицировать условные обозначения, примененные в конкретной схеме.
