ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION SUPPORT OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERNATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Topicality. Since, according to the strategy of the state environmental policy of Ukraine for the period till 2030, one of the root causes of Ukraine's environmental problems is an inefficient system of public administration in the field of environmental protection, monitoring of its state, regulation of the use of natural resources and ensuring environmental safety, the question of improving information support of the country is especially relevant.Aim and tasks are to address the problems of processing and presenting environmental information in the context of Ukraine's international activity and to identify the country's real capabilities in providing environmentally valuable data in accordance with European requirements.Research results. The study outlines major international projects aimed at improving statistical support in the field of ecology, in which Ukraine has been participating in recent years, presents an analysis of the country's significant results upon completion of one of the projects. The main requirements of the current project for providing environmental information are also considered. Provision has been made of providing Ukraine with statistical information on environmental indicators of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe within the framework of the project and the actual availability of these indicators in the statistical documentation of Ukraine. One of the ways improve information support of Ukraine in the field of ecology is considered.Conclusion. It is justified that, despite the countries' participation in international projects aimed at improving statistical support in the field of ecology, Ukraine does not make the necessary efforts to obtain significant results in this area. It is analyzed that at the end of one of the projects in the field of data and information management on the state of the environment and their shared use, Ukraine from all the participating countries made almost the smallest contribution to the development of information support, and within the current project part of the indicators Ukraine does not provide despite the availability of necessary environmental information data in open sources.

Retrieving the specialised substance from a corpus of professional discourse in the field of Records and Information Management

Cet article vise a approfondir notre connaissance des discours professionnels dans le domaine de la gestion de l’information et de la documentation, a partir d’un corpus specialise. Apres un bref resume de la longue tradition des travaux en analyse des discours professionnels, nous presentons une methode de compilation et d’analyse d’un corpus dans le domaine de la gestion de l’information, notamment dans le but d’identifier sa « matiere specialisee ». Cette matiere est mise en evidence par trois micro-analyses : celle du processus de specialisation des categories semantiques generales de l’anglais, celle de la coherence semantique, et celle de dimensions semantiques specifiques. Nos resultats montrent tout d’abord que la gestion de l’information peut etre consideree comme un registre specialise de l’anglais. Ils montrent ensuite que la comparaison d’une variete professionnelle avec l’usage general fournit une vue partielle du specialise-professionnel et qu’il convient d’envisager la creation de dimensions semantiques ad hoc.

The necessity to develop a national classification system for Iranian traditional medicine.

Classification of disease and interventions in traditional medicine (TM) is necessary for standardised coding of information. Currently, in Iran, there is no standard electronic classification system for disease and interventions in TM. The current study aimed to develop a national framework for the classification of disease and intervention in Persian medicine based on expert opinion. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 2018. The existing systems for the classification of disease and interventions in TM were reviewed in detail, and some of the structural and content characteristics were extracted for the development of the classification of Iranian traditional medicine. Based on these features, a self-administered questionnaire was developed. Study participants (25) were experts in the field of Persian medicine and health information management in Tehran medical universities. Main axes for the classification of disease and interventions were determined. The most important applications of the classification system were related to clinical coding, policymaking, reporting of mortality and morbidity data, cost analysis and determining the quality indicators. Half of the participants (50%) stated that the classification system should be designed by maintaining the main axis of the World Health Organization classification system and changing the subgroups if necessary. A computer-assisted coding system for TM was proposed for the current study. Development of this classification system will provide nationally comparable data that can be widely used by governments, national organisations and academic researchers.

Regional Approach to Biodiversity Information Management and Reporting in Southeast Europe

Featuring a large variety of ecosystems, abundant freshwater and forest resources, unique extensive karstic systems, and a high level of biodiversity and endemism, Southeast Europe (SEE) plays a crucial role in the conservation of biodiversity in Europe and beyond. In order to conserve and sustainably use these biodiversity assets and valuable natural resources, a regional concerted approach in the field of biodiversity information management and reporting (BIMR) has been strengthened. This has enabled improvement in access, transparency and exchange of biodiversity data and reporting processes among the participating economies. Certain significant and visible progress among SEE economies and stakeholders is due to to the knowledge gained about regional and national BIMR baselines, agreed and elaborated minimum Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and European Union (EU) requirements on BIMR among stakeholders and implemented BIMR tools (e.g., a regionally unified fundamental database for the Information System for Nature Conservation (ISNC), for instance in Montenegro (http://zasticenapodrucja-cg.tk//en), Bosnia and Herzegovina/entity of Republika Srpska (http://e-priroda.rs.ba/en/) and entity of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and North Macedonia (Standard Data Form - SDF application for NATURA 2000) and compiled dataset on five taxonomic groups of endemic taxa using the Darwin Core standard). Therefore, BIMR activities/priorities from the region have become more evident and supported along with ownership of BIMR tools acquired by the partner institutions and recognized at the global level through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Drivers for the development of an Animal Health Surveillance Ontology (AHSO)

Comprehensive reviews of syndromic surveillance in animal health have highlighted the hindrances to integration and interoperability among systems when data emerge from different sources. Discussions with syndromic surveillance experts in the fields of animal and public health, as well as computer scientists from the field of information management, have led to the conclusion that a major component of any solution will involve the adoption of ontologies. Here we describe the advantages of such an approach, and the steps taken to set up the Animal Health Surveillance Ontological (AHSO) framework. The AHSO framework is modelled in OWL, the W3C standard Semantic Web language for representing rich and complex knowledge. We illustrate how the framework can incorporate knowledge directly from domain experts or from data-driven sources, as well as by integrating existing mature ontological components from related disciplines. The development and extent of AHSO will be community driven and the final products in the framework will be open-access.

The 6 concepts identified are integrated, on‐demand, access, control, security, and input. The framework is presented to combine and synthesize concepts which are found in disparate fields but are highly related.

A Blockchain-Based Authorization System for Trustworthy Resource Monitoring and Trading in Smart Communities.

Resource consumption in residential areas requires novel contributions in the field of consumer information management and collaborative mechanisms for the exchange of resources, in order to optimize the overall consumption of the community. We propose an authorization system to facilitate access to consumer information and resource trading, based on blockchain technology. Our proposal is oriented to the Smart communities, an evolution of Community Energy Management Systems, in which communities are involved in the monitoring and coordination of resource consumption. The proposed environment allows a more reliable management of monitoring and authorization functions, with secure data access and storage and delegation of controller functions among householders. We provide the definition of virtual assets for energy and water resource sharing as an auction, which encourages the optimization of global consumption and saves resources. The proposed solution is implemented and validated in application scenarios that demonstrate the suitability of the defined consensus mechanism, trustworthiness in the level of provided security for resource monitoring and delegation and reduction on resource consumption by the resource trading contribution.

Post-truth, propaganda and the transformation of the spiral of silence

In 2016, post-truth was named word of the year. Since then a handful of texts have sought to further describe and explore the notion, moving beyond the initial definition given by the Oxford Dictionary. This paper rejects the term ‘post-truth’, in favor of propaganda; since post-truth tends to be utilised as an evaluative term of contemporary political public discourse, as articulated by specific politicians, predominantly through social media. Taking the field of information management as its starting point, our approach underlines the diachronic character of persuasion efforts through information management, understood as propaganda in the public sphere. As a notion, propaganda, in contrast to post-truth, encapsulates both the diachronic character of information management in the public sphere and the ground-breaking transformation of the process of personal opinion expression, initially described by the spiral of silence model, through the emergence of new interactive media.

The search for the data scientist

The Internet of Things and Big Data trends are promoting changes in the professional and educational practices of experts in the fields of information, information technologies, computer science and operations management. Although new contents on big data and data analysis are being added to undergraduate and graduate courses, there is still the need of a better understanding of the skills, competencies and values of the Data Scientist. In this essay, I suggest a framework that includes five core sets of competencies to become an effective analyst and decision analysis steward. Skills of the data scientist are so diverse in nature that it is more likely that data science evolve from individual positions into a collective effort involving experts in different domain areas and levels of technical expertise coming from different organizational areas.

RFID technology in the retail industry – bound for success or failure? A two-factor approach

In this thesis, the adoption of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology in the retail industry is analysed. Upon the review of substantial literature on technology adoption in the information management field, a two-factor model is established. This model incorporates enablers and inhibitors of RFID adoption, retrieved from reviewing supply chain management literature. The model is then tested in three expert interviews and based on the insights gained from those, a revised model is created which incorporates the main enablers and inhibitors as perceived by the experts.

BPM and ECM: Similarities, differences, conceptual, and technological limits

Abstract Enterprise information architectures still do not deliver all the value that comes from integrating structured and unstructured information. Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management were developed as autonomous disciplines. Thus, Enterprise Content Management still occurs without formally considering the business processes that generate and manipulate content, while Business Process Management initiatives arise without a documented treatment of materials produced by the processes. The non-integrated approach to these disciplines collaborates to reduce the potential benefits expected in Organizational Change Management programs. In such context, the article discusses the interrelation between Business Process Management and Enterprise Content Management, approaching from a historical view of these disciplines, their conceptual limits, technological support, and dialogues that would benefit both initiatives. The paper contributes to clarify a question still vague in the field of Information Management, which is how to integrate Business Process Management and Enterprise Content Management treating structured and unstructured information in a unified manner. It discusses how to approach this issue in a broad scope of IM by combining the concepts of Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management. Based on a literature review, the paper analyzes and synthesizes experiences in Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management acquired in the context of a project carried out in a Power Sector Company. The article reveals problems in separating approaches to Enterprise Content Management and Business Process Management. It shows the importance of an effort for integration and presents three instruments that promote the linkage of the two initiatives, approximating process offices and analysts’ information.

Imbricações teóricas entre comunicação e gestão da informação e do conhecimento na Ciência da Informação

En este artículo son discutidas las relaciones conceptuales entre comunicación de la información, gestión de la información y gestión del conocimiento desde el ámbito de las Ciencias de la Información con el objetivo de presentar una fundamentación teórica sobre estos temas con base en la literatura, las reflexiones de diversos autores y los resultados de estudios realizados durante casi 10 años que discurren sobre aspectos epistemológicos de las Ciencias de la Información. El enfoque interdisciplinario permite abordar autores representativos de las Ciencias de la Información, de comunicación, de gestión de la información y de gestión del conocimiento. A lo largo de la discusión son presentados modelos que ilustran los abordajes de autores pioneros, así como las construcciones teóricas que muestran las relaciones conceptuales más importantes entre los temas presentados. Se concluye que un abordaje que considera las relaciones antes descritas deben ser privilegiadas en las Ciencias de la Información, lo que a su vez requiere una adopción de los abordajes asociados a comunicación y gestión en los diversos contextos, lo que implica que estudios de comunicación y de gestión en las Ciencias de la Información deben tener en cuenta sus abordajes conceptuales, teóricos inherentes, en la medida que son conceptos cuyos abordajes tienden a estar formalmente asociados en el área.AbstractThis paper examines conceptual relationships among communication of information, information management and knowledge management from the standpoint of Information Science in order to proffer a theoretical framework supported by a review of the literature and reflections researchers, who have addressed epistemological aspects of information science in regard to these issues. The approach of this research is interdisciplinary, admitting seminal authors from both information and communication science, as well as research in the field of information and knowledge management in order to describe approaches and theoretical constructions of the most influential researchers and show the key conceptual relationships common in their work. These theoretical commonalities should be taken seriously in the field of information science, which should adopt a research approach that associates communication and management across diverse contexts recognizing their conceptual communalities.

It is, consequently, suggested that researchers’ characteristic demand to be manageable into information management.

Making choices: developing digital research frameworks for information management

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to suggest a digital research framework that can be applied to many of the areas that encompass the discipline of information management.Design/methodology/approachThis communication proposes a new “Triple A” framework that allows the researcher to progress digital ideas by asking a series of staged questions. This is a progressive model consisting of three stages of acquaintance, adaption and application bounded by three major influencing issues of culture, communication and context. The Triple A framework is aimed to be flexible to apply to most styles of research yet robust enough to offer useful insights.FindingsThe model devised will assist (information management) researchers with choices of research approaches. It may be that early career researchers or those undertaking a postgraduate research will find this framework especially helpful to clarify thoughts and direction. The model aims to be useful and, whilst no doubt will be built on in future research, it is offered as foundation, an initial starting point, as those who work and study in information management fields endeavor to make new choices in our digitally managed information world.Originality/valueThe originality and value of this work is the proposition of a new model that will allow researchers to impose structure on ideas and encourage the viewing of work from a multi-disciplinary perspective within the growing and evolving digital areas.
