Informational architectonics of the traditional knowledge digital system

the article was prepared based on the results of the research work of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property “Conceptual modeling of the architecture of the traditional knowledge information system”. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to understand national capabilities and approaches to the protection of traditional knowledge within the framework of the intellectual property legal system and to ensure high efficiency in the prior art search during the examination of applications for the registration of intellectual property rights. The aim of the research is to identify the main characteristics (properties) of an information system for traditional knowledge. The article presents the results of modeling the information space of traditional knowledge and the information structure of the Digital Information System for Traditional Knowledge (DIS TK), identifies the main actors of the information system and their functions. Based on this research, a conceptual model of the architecture of the information system for traditional knowledge was built. The information system for traditional knowledge is presented as a set of functional and supporting components (technical, software, information, organizational, legal, etc.) that solve the problems of aggregating information about traditional knowledge from the information space of heterogeneous sources and adapting this information in accordance with the requirements of the intellectual property field. The core of the information system for traditional knowledge is a traditional knowledge database. Representatives of Indigenous Peoples of Russia, specialists from various fields, scientific and educational organizations, enterprises, libraries, and executive authorities should be involved in the process of building the information collection of the database.
