Abstract

The concepts of “repository” and “metadata” used in e-libraries and Internet resources are examined. The authors propose to make STEM projects repository a new form of projects preservation. The authors discuss repository hierarchical structure. They suggest to use two subject headings, i. e. student classification and tag clouds. Using these headings is characterized by specific character of STEM design. The examples of foreign repositories and their structure are provided, in particular SIEMENS repository and various formats of educational resources in such repositories. The authors introduce a new structure of data repository structured as a tag cloud comprising two areas – secondary school resources and academic resources. They point to the importance of resources of STEAM-STEM- projecting which is to support learning in natural sciences, to accumulate experiences of teachers, schoolchildren, professors and students in this area and to provide for prompt information retrieval and discovery of projects in various topics with interdisciplinary links and with the possibility of application in engineering disciplines.
