Information system conceptual decisions for assessment of linkages between science and technologies

The description of conceptual decisions for assessment of linkages between science and technologies is considered. The decisions are a framework for developing information systems, which will have some new features. These features are not present in other similar information systems of the Russian scientific and technical sphere. Their development is necessary for monitoring and evaluating R&D programs and decision-making at all stages of scientific and technical program activities. The architecture as a whole system and conceptual decisions on separate functional subsystems are described. These decisions are based on methodology for assessment of linkages between science and technologies, which is developed in IPI RAN. Conceptual decisions have a number of fundamental differences from other systems for assessment of linkages between science and technologies. First, there is a possibility of fetching a system for classification of knowledge domains from some classification systems. Second, formation and application of terminological portraits for headings of the chosen classification system is provided.
