Nsi abbreviation decoding. Management of normative and reference information. "Systems Theory and Systems Analysis"

When it comes to the scale and complexity of certain information systems, such characteristics as the number of jobs and flows of processed documents, and the total volume of databases are usually given. However, recently, the number and size of directories are increasingly mentioned as an integral characteristic. This is not very clear to ignorant people, but to specialists such information speaks volumes. After all, it is reference data (range of goods and products, details of partners, suppliers and clients, description of the organization’s structure, etc.) that are essentially the information core of the enterprise management system, including accounting tasks, resource planning, CAD, etc.; they ensure consistency and consolidation of data, eliminate redundancy of information and optimize the search for the necessary information. In addition, directories combine all other documents of the system - invoices, contracts, orders, etc. - throughout its entire life cycle.

Currently one of the most important issues development information technologies corporate level- data integration. Quite often, it is understood as the ability to work with various data formats from different physical sources (including converting them from one format to another). But such a view is at least superficial. In fact, coordination and correct understanding of information is impossible without its meaningful comprehension using unified reference books.

Rice. 1. Organization of work of the centralized reference data service

This problem is relevant all over the world, but its significance is especially great for Russia, and two points can be highlighted here:

Automation of domestic companies, as a rule, developed from the bottom up, through the gradual computerization of individual areas and divisions. In addition to using various software and hardware platforms, they also used local directories, combining which is not an easy task;

On modern stage In the formation of a market economy in our country, there are active processes of mergers, acquisitions, formation of holding structures, etc. In this case, complex tasks arise of combining information resources, but often at the level of complete enterprise management systems.

We have highlighted these two points to highlight the fundamental differences in the situations behind them. In the first case, in general, we can simply talk about errors when creating the system - it was necessary to initially create a unified enterprise reference system, implementing a top-down design methodology. When merging different enterprises, the situation is much more complicated, because we are talking about independent companies.

Rice. 2. Using Ontologic 5.0 technology, you can create a unified master data management system

But such internal problems of organizations are just the tip of the iceberg! In the era of economic globalization and e-business, enterprise information systems must communicate with the information systems of partners, suppliers, and clients. And they must speak in a language that each other understands. Then we could move on to issues of public administration...

To illustrate the significance reference information Let's give just two examples.

1. As you know, about a year ago the Anglo-Russian company TNK-BP was created, which was formed as a result of a series of preliminary mergers of large industrial companies (ONAKO, SIDANKO, TNK). One of the first tasks set by the management of the new company was the organization of a unified corporate directory-classifier of material and technical resources. This had to be done even before identifying other areas for the development of integration solutions and management systems. Moreover, it is the joint normative base was supposed to help form a unified corporate English-Russian mentality (the company employs specialists from Russian TNK and English BP) and a common understanding of doing business.

2. At the end of the Second World War, US President Roosevelt set the task of understanding the causes of problems with the supply of spare parts to the front. Having carried out the necessary research, the Americans came to the conclusion that spare parts were sent to the troops in quantities several times greater than the need for them. At the same time, there was still a shortage of spare parts due to the fact that the same products accumulated in warehouses, but labeled differently and bearing different names. As a result, the president issued a directive to create a unified federal system for cataloging supplies for government needs, and primarily for defense and security needs. Over the past twenty years, the United States has annually invested from 2 to 4 billion dollars in standardization programs alone using modular structures (product analogues) to reduce the range of Department of Defense supplies by approximately three times.

Management of normative and reference information

To indicate such reference information in automated systems Enterprise management in the West uses the term Master Data (master data, master data), and its management tasks are called Master Data Management (MDM). However, in the Russian language the concept of normative reference information (RNI) is now more often used, which appeared in disciplines related to management national economy back in pre-computer times. In this case, the definition of “normative” reflects the fact that the problem of creating corporate-level directories goes far beyond the boundaries of the enterprise itself; it must be solved taking into account industry, state and international standards.

We can give the following definition: master data is a conditionally permanent part of all corporate (institutional) information, in contrast to current information generated directly in the process of the organization’s activities. Master data includes dictionaries, reference books and classifiers, data from which (for example, terms, units of measurement, codes, names of materials, contractors, etc.) are used in the generation of current documents. Thus, when generating an invoice on a computer, the names of materials, units of measurement, the name of the recipient enterprise (counterparty), its details and a number of other fields, as a rule, are selected from directories built into the system, rather than entered manually.

To assess the scale of MDM tasks, the following data can be provided. For large companies in the oil and gas sector, the size of material directories ranges from 100 to 250 thousand items, and for counterparties - from 3 to 12 thousand entries.

It is quite obvious that the issues of creating and maintaining reference data up to date are classified as independent tasks in the enterprise management system as a whole; this is often dealt with by a separate service of the company.

According to experts, in our country the cost of processing one master data record is 2-5 dollars (abroad - 10-20 dollars). Accordingly, the cost of one project for the formation of master data large enterprise can be estimated at 400-1000 thousand dollars (including the cost of software, implementation consulting and support).

The oil and gas industry, as well as a number of state and regional structures, were the first to understand the need to carry out work on master data as an independent part of creating an organization’s management system. Currently, approximately 10-15 large projects on this topic are being implemented in Russia, while analysts note a rapid increase in interest in this work from both the corporate and public sectors. To meet the growing needs of clients, a proven methodology for implementing such projects is needed.

The problem with creating a corporate reference data system is precisely that it does not have a simple solution. It would seem that the most reasonable way is to use a ready-made set of directories (international, state, industry). But the fact is that it will be extremely inconvenient for a specific enterprise to use them (they are too redundant and do not take into account the specifics of the organization), and besides, it is simply impossible to create such a global master data system in full (for more information on this topic, see Dmitry Gulko’s article “How to avoid typical mistakes when building corporate and industry systems of regulatory and reference information", PC Week/RE, N 18/2004, p. 35).

Solving the problem is possible only in the form of creating a specialized system for maintaining master data using appropriate standards, methods and software. In fact, this work should combine the efforts of three parties:

Creators of regulations and standards (both state and industry);

Basic software suppliers;

System integrators and consultants who can implement all this taking into account industry practice, national specifics, etc.

In Soviet times, government agencies were very actively involved in issues regulatory regulation. With the beginning of perestroika, there was a failure in this activity, and only 5-7 years ago government structures again took up this work. Several laws and regulations on this topic have already been adopted, and currently there are several state standard classification systems for products and activities (OKP, OKVED, OKDP, TN VED, ECPS). However, each of them has its own specialized purpose and is not suitable for use in its pure form in industrial or corporate systems Oh. Western classification systems cannot be applied in our country due to the significant national specifics of our economy. In general, it should be noted that in order to streamline the situation in the field of corporate master data, more active participation is desirable government agencies, but at the same time not crossing the line of reasonable regulation.

Fig.3. Functional diagram reference data management systems

Master Data Management issues are also in the field of attention of basic software suppliers. At the same time, they approach their solution from different directions. First of all, naturally, these tasks are dealt with by manufacturers of ERP solutions, and the leader here is SAP. Another example is infrastructure integration software developers. Here we should mention IBM Corporation - its recent acquisition of Ascential Software is largely explained by the corporation's intention to strengthen the MDM direction (see PC Week/RE, N 10/2005, p. 12). Finally, something needs to be said about document management system providers (eg Hummingbird). Their presence in the MDM segment is explained, on the one hand, by their experience in solving data integration problems, and on the other, by the need to use intelligent technologies for processing unstructured information to manage reference data.

Regarding system integrators and consulting companies, then MDM issues are dealt with to one degree or another by all companies that carry out large projects to create enterprise management systems. Some of them (Intertech, LANIT, IBS, Unit Space, Katalit) have specialized developments in this area. Next, we will briefly talk about proposals for building corporate reference data systems from the Intertech company, which last years has acquired solid experience in implementing such solutions in companies such as TNK-BP, Tatneft, SIBUR, as well as in various federal departments, departments of the Moscow government, etc. She recently entered into a cooperation agreement in the field of MDM with SAP Corporation (see PC Week/RE, N 13/2005, p. 49).

Technology for constructing master data from the company "Intertech"

The methodology proposed by Intertech implies the creation of a unified system for maintaining reference data, linking all regulatory and reference information of the company's divisions, subsidiaries and partners into the general corporate information space (Fig. 1).

Its implementation requires, first of all, the development and adoption of a set of standards and regulations for maintaining an enterprise’s master data. As a technological basis for constructing reference data systems, an ontological model of classification and coding is used - a formal description of accounting objects, based on the identification of their essential properties (Fig. 2). This approach ensures the accumulation of any amount of consistent information and combines the advantages of hierarchical, facet, adaptive and reference classification systems. In general, this technique makes it possible to standardize the actions of expert specialists when they carry out operations to classify and encode groups (classes) of accounting objects, determine the properties (features) of classes and their values, and build navigation hierarchies. It also includes a description of typical user requests, divided into groups according to the degree of uncertainty and imprecision of wording, and recommendations for support service specialists (experts).

Rice. 4. Main stages of work to create a unified system for maintaining reference data

The actual system for maintaining reference data is implemented in the form of a software and hardware complex (Fig. 3), which includes tools for maintaining directories and classifiers, tools for searching for accounting objects, modules for exchanging information between experts and users, and mechanisms for integration with external applications. Its main functional software subsystems integrated with each other are “user workstation”, “expert workstation” and “administrator workstation”. The system in its standard configuration is based on Microsoft technologies (OS - Windows, Web server - IIS, DBMS - SQL Server), but it also provides the ability to use other software platforms.

The Intertech company has also developed a step-by-step methodology for implementing an enterprise master data system (Fig. 4). The underlying approach is based on a number of basic principles.

The evolutionary development of the system involves a step-by-step transition to modern methods maintaining and supporting corporate reference data. General scheme This approach looks like this: old -> old + new -> new; at intermediate stages, the parallel existence of the old and new systems is allowed.

Adaptability of the reference data system to the specifics and landscapes of existing application systems(including ERP-class systems) and to various classification and coding systems presupposes its ability to integrate with external systems.

Continuity allows us to preserve all the best and valuable things that have been developed over years and decades. This concerns the use of the potential of reference data specialists, the stable functioning of existing application systems, the possibilities of migration and transformation of accumulated information arrays.

Standardization and unification of regulations and methods for using and maintaining corporate master data, classification and coding systems make it possible to ensure the constant relevance and availability of master data throughout the company.

Accounting human factor implies the ability to work in the system various categories users with different skills and degrees of “advancement” in the field of information technology, ergonomic design and “friendliness” of system interfaces.

Rice. 5. Functional model of the process of using and maintaining a unified reference data base

For the effective functioning of a unified system for maintaining reference data, a set of organizational and management solutions must be developed, providing for a clear division of responsibilities and functional responsibilities in accordance with the competencies of the company’s personnel groups (Fig. 5):

Users - company employees who use certain data from the master data base when generating working documents;

Experts - specialists of the reference data group, responsible for generating and changing data in the reference data database;

Profile specialists who are well versed in certain aspects of one or another regulatory and reference information that is within their competence in the main professional activity. They participate in the procedure for agreeing on added or changed data upon the recommendation of a specialist expert from the reference data group;

Technical support specialists are automation and IT service personnel who provide maintenance of system software and hardware.

In general, the implementation of a unified system for maintaining master data allows the customer to solve the following main tasks that help improve the efficiency of the entire enterprise:

Create a centralized master data repository that operates within the company’s unified information space and includes the entire range of material and technical resources and other accounting objects;

Centralize the functions of maintaining reference data based on developed corporate classification and coding standards;

Create unified regulations and technological environment for user access to reference data, maintenance of classifiers and reference books by experts and technical support of the system by administrators;

Use software built into the system that maintains the required level of data security and its constant updating, excluding the storage of duplicate, erroneous or outdated information;

Implement the implementation of classifiers and directories of reference data into existing management, accounting and other systems, allowing to streamline and reduce the costs of maintaining regulatory and reference information;

Promptly provide company management with the information necessary to make effective decisions.

“The historical legacy of automation in large companies and holdings is in the vast majority of cases deplorable: individual systems and “systems” operate on different software platforms and use different local directories that are in no way connected with each other, which impedes information exchange and data consolidation. Many experts tend to use such metaphors as “patchwork automation” and “information zoo” in this situation. The key solution to the problem is the creation of a Unified System for Maintaining Regulatory and Reference Information, standardizing and unifying all information flows within the company.” (From the article by the President of NCIT “INTERTECH” D. E. Gulko “System of normative and reference information: typical errors and misconceptions”, published in the journal “ Gas industry"No. 6 in June 2004)

Experts from NCIT "INTERTECH" based on the results of the analysis of information systems used in large companies and government agencies Ah, we came to the following conclusions:

• most of the application systems used are built on different software and hardware platforms;
• application systems are not integrated with each other; they use non-standardized reference books that differ in structure and composition;
• absent centralized system supporting user access to regulatory and reference information;
• existing directories do not describe accounting objects fully enough, their names are not unified, and the coding system is not standardized;
• When structuring large information arrays, classifiers are not used to facilitate the search for the required information.

Let us highlight some of the main problems of maintaining master data, which significantly increase the material and labor costs of many companies and government agencies to carry out important business processes:

• consolidation of applications for centralized procurement and preparation of consolidated applications;
• formation and execution of the budget in terms of logistics;
• placing and monitoring the execution of orders, monitoring warehouse balances;
• accounting and control of the movement of material flows throughout the supply chain;
• formation and prompt provision of statistical and analytical information necessary for making effective management decisions.

As a solution to these problems, INTERTECH proposes the creation of a Unified system for maintaining master data, linking all regulatory and reference information of the company's divisions, subsidiaries and partners into the general corporate information space.

To implement this solution you need:

Develop and adopt standards and regulations for maintaining reference data:

• Company standard “Composition and structure of the Unified System for Maintaining Master Data, Classification and Coding Systems.”
• Regulations for the use by divisions and subsidiaries of the Unified System for Maintaining Master Data, classification and coding systems.
• Regulations for maintaining and maintaining the Unified System for maintaining reference data, classification and coding systems.
• Regulations for ensuring access of company users to the resources of the Unified System for Maintaining Master Data and their technical support.

Use the ontological classification and coding methodology developed by INTERTECH specialists.

The methodology makes it possible to standardize the actions of expert specialists when they carry out operations to classify and encode groups (classes) of accounting objects, determine the properties (features) of classes and their values, and build navigation hierarchies.

The methodology includes a description of typical user requests, divided into groups according to the degree of uncertainty and inaccuracy of wording, and recommendations for the actions of support service specialists (experts).

Implement an automated system that provides:

• support for the accepted technology of classification and coding of information;
• user access to the resources of the Unified System for Maintaining and Managing Reference Data – direct, through a web interface or through existing application systems;
• work of support services for the Unified System for Maintaining and Managing Reference Data, classification and coding systems in accordance with the developed regulations.

4. Stages of work

Below are the main stages of work to create a Unified System for maintaining and managing reference data.

5. The essence of the approach

The proposed approach is based on the principles of evolution, adaptability, continuity, standardization and unification, and taking into account the human factor.

Evolvability development of the system involves a step-by-step transition to modern principles of maintaining and maintaining corporate reference data. The general scheme of this approach is as follows: old -> old + new -> new, when at intermediate stages the parallel existence of the old and new systems is allowed.

Adaptability systems to the specifics and landscapes of existing application systems (including ERP-class systems), to the various classification and coding systems used, presupposes the ability of the system to integrate with external systems.

Continuity allows you to preserve all the best and valuable things that have been developed over years and decades. This concerns using the potential of reference data specialists, not disrupting the functioning of existing application systems, and the possibilities of migration and transformation of accumulated information arrays.

Standardization and unification regulations and methods for using and maintaining corporate master data, classification and coding systems, which allows us to ensure the constant relevance and availability of master data throughout the company.

Taking into account the human factor implies the ability to work in the system for different categories of users, with different skills and “degree of advancement” in the field of information technology, ergonomic design and “friendliness” of system interfaces.

Regulatory and Reference Information- a conditionally permanent component of corporate information, which is the basis for the unification and normalization of data accompanying ongoing business processes, as well as regulation of the organization’s activities. In other words, regulatory and reference information is information resource company, formed internally and received, as a rule, from the outside. It contains standards, requirements, rules, regulations and other information that normalizes and systematizes the company's activities.

The requirement to ensure interaction and unification of various application systems of business processes occurring at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_oriented_architecture enterprises and in various organizations, consolidation of reporting documentation, leads to the need to build a system of normative and reference information. The system of normative reference information is formed by groups of objects built on all-Russian, industry and corporate (internal) [classifiers] and directories.

The main problems of reference data in corporate information systems:

• Not fully used All-Russian classifiers and reference books developed government services and approved at the federal level, intended for up-to-date information content with regular updating and verification:
• All-Russian classifiers, partially presented in the systems, are not updated or normalized;
• The information, which together constitutes a single whole, is divided into several parts and collected in separate directories;
• System directories are duplicated in information content and functional use;
• The bulk of directory data is not normalized, the maintenance of normative and reference information is not regulated, resulting in duplication of information when updating directories. There is insufficient information in the directory entries (the entries are not fully described);
• The majority of classifiers presented in the systems have a weak structure based on the characteristics of information grouping, and are single-level, which is not ensured by the flexibility and information content of the classification.

Information Systems Regulatory and Reference Information.

The corporate reference data system provides storage, processing And provision permanent and conditionally permanent information to system users.

Master data systems are designed to keep corporate data up to date, ensure completeness, eliminate errors, monitor the integrity and consistency of data.

Modification of data and its structure stored in the master data system is permitted only by system experts. All actions to modify data are strictly regulated. Users of information are other enterprise information systems that receive data through predetermined interfaces.

This approach ensures the correctness of data within the enterprise, regardless of the number and variety of information systems used, eliminating duplication of information by different departments and simplifying the construction of summary reports.

The term NSI is of Soviet origin, although a clear definition was not introduced in the USSR. In the West, a more suitable analogue of master data is Master Data or Master Referenced Data, the essence of which is non-transactional normalized reference information (catalogues) and classifiers (hierarchies). Thus, Master Data can only be considered as a subset of the master data concept.

Directory Management Systems can be equated to the international concept of Master Data Management (MDM), which can be considered as part of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

It is fundamental that dictionaries, standards, rules, regulations, which are usually included in the concept of master data, are not objects of MDM systems.

Since Rosatom unites many enterprises and organizations, the creation of industry-wide directories is a necessary condition for centralizing and ensuring transparency of procurement activities and relations with suppliers, as well as for the organization collaboration IT systems of industry enterprises. That is why the project to create a unified industry system of normative and reference information (US NSI) was included in the “Program for the transformation of the financial and economic block and information technologies” of the State Corporation. The EOS NSI system will cover organizations in the engineering and construction blocks nuclear power plants", "operation of nuclear power plants", " life cycle nuclear fuel" Based on the results of an open competition, IBS was involved in the implementation of the project, and a specialized SAP solution was chosen as the platform.

To date, a pilot project to create an Unified System of Scientific Information has been completed. Within its framework, a number of reference books have been created: “Counterparties” (debtors/creditors, legal entities, residents/non-residents), “Material and technical resources” (MTR), “Elements industrial facilities", "Unified Chart of Accounts", a set of all-Russian directories and classifiers. The most popular reference books have become “Counterparties” (currently contains about 70 thousand entries), “MTR” (about 150 thousand entries) and “Unified Chart of Accounts”. Already during the pilot project, 215 enterprises were connected to the EOS NSI using the “Counterparties” directory, and 35 enterprises using the “MTR” directory. In total, more than 4 thousand users work in the system, their access is provided using the portal service.

Work is currently underway to replicate the system. It is expected that by 2012 the total number of EOS NSI users will reach about 10 thousand people. Thus, this project in the field of organizing regulatory and reference information on the SAP platform will become one of the largest in the world and the largest in Europe. The results of the project and the capabilities of the EOS NSI will be used in a number of other IT projects of the Rosatom State Corporation. Among them are the creation of a unified industry procurement system, a unified industry system for integrating corporate applications, a unified industry document flow system, a property asset management system, the introduction of a unified settlement center system, etc.

« Centralization of processes for maintaining normative and reference information and the use of relevant information system, firstly, will increase the quality and reliability of the information provided by IT systems. Secondly, it will reduce costs and time for generating consolidated reporting. Thirdly, it minimizes risks due to incomplete or incorrect payment data. This will also make it possible to optimize and ensure transparency of procurement processes and work with suppliers, reduce planning time for procurement and supply of materials and equipment, optimize the process of maintaining master data by organizing a unified management environment", noted Head of the NSI program at Greenatom CJSC Kirill Sukovykh.

Introduction

Creation of a unified information space is a necessary condition effective management various objects, be it an enterprise, department, region or state. The formation of a unified environment presupposes integration management processes, accompanied by the normalization of information flows. Often, the movement of information at different levels and parts of the control object is supported by various information and accounting systems. Accordingly, there is a need to integrate these systems. The growing processes of globalization of the world economy are, in essence, integration processes. Such integration tasks are especially relevant for Russia in connection with its upcoming entry into the World War II Trade Organization(WTO).

The task of integrating information and accounting systems consists of two interrelated parts: data integration and subsequent application integration. When performing data integration, it is necessary to unify and standardize normative and reference information (RNI). .

Master data is a conditionally permanent part of all information in an information system (IS), in contrast to current information generated directly in the process of working in the IS. The master data includes: directories, dictionaries, linear and hierarchical lists, classifiers, registers, codifiers, the data from which is used in the generation of current documents.

To denote such reference information in the English-language literature, the term Master Data (master data, master data) is used, and the tasks of managing it are called Master Data Management (MDM). However, in Russian the concept of normative reference information (RNI) is now more often used ), which appeared in disciplines related to economic management even in pre-computer times. In this case, the definition of “normative” reflects the fact that the problem of creating directories must be solved taking into account industry, state and international standards.

If today such terms as, for example, ACS (Automated Control Systems) or IS (Information Systems) have become familiar, then the abbreviation “SU NSI” (Regulatory Reference Information Management System) often causes confusion. Even the meaning that lies behind its decoding is often understood only by specialists. NSI is not just a database, but a complexly organized system with many cross-references between individual directories and classifiers. The mechanism for maintaining the relevance of reference information is especially important. The requirements for the completeness, accuracy and relevance of information in the reference data system are much stricter than in a conventional database, since during the operation of any information system, including automated control systems, the information content of applied tasks depends on the reference data data. Master data is the “foundation” of the entire information system and management of this system should be centralized. In Figure 1, reference data is shown as the lower level, the “information foundation” of the entire IS structure.

Rice. 1 Information system levels

It is the centralized management of the reference data system, subject to unified regulations and provided by a unified technological environment, that allows maintaining the unification of data, completeness, integrity and relevance of all reference books and classifiers included in its composition. Therefore, to have an effectively working IS that solves real problems.

The development of full-fledged software for master data management began only a few years ago. Leading software manufacturers have recently been paying more and more attention to master data management tools (in the English version MDM, Master Data Management - master data management).

It is difficult to imagine solving integration problems without centralized management of reference data. The problem of master data management arises even in such automated and information-supported structures as banks or insurance companies. Master data management systems allow not only to accumulate data from several integrated banking systems, for example, to generate reports for several accounting systems; but also to solve problems operational management NSI.

In Russia there is no single center for the formation of reference data similar to GOSTs. And, although new laws related to the development and circulation of electronic technical documents have recently come into force, they have not yet had a noticeable impact on the situation.

The role of NSI in the informatization of the region

Regional informatization plays an important role in the implementation of the development strategy for the information technology sector in our country. Recently in the regions Russian Federation Work has intensified on the use of information technologies in all spheres of life in the regions. This was facilitated by federal authorities state authorities of a number of events and adoption regulatory documents in the field of use of information technologies at the federal, departmental, regional and municipal levels. One of such documents, designed to help solve problems of comprehensive informatization of the region, is the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the procedure for the formation and use of basic classifiers, reference books and registers in the provision of government and municipal services V electronic form" dated 08/31/2010

A special role for reference data is also assigned to informatization programs for industries and departments. For example, in published on March 31, 2010. The draft Concept of Informatization of Healthcare especially emphasizes that information systems in healthcare should be designed taking into account standards and regulations and be based on a single master data. (The composition of the reference data used in the healthcare sector includes social development And labor relations The Russian Federation includes a total of 163 different classifiers and reference books)..

At the regional level, the goal of implementing the master data infrastructure in automated management systems is the creation of a unified system of directories and classifiers used in state (municipal) information systems of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as well as the formation of basic accounting registers that ensure the collection and storage of provided information on the main objects of regional management. The master data management system, being a centralized repository and sole supplier a common reference data for all infrastructure and departmental information systems of the region should ensure information compatibility of local information systems and “electronic government” applications of the subject.

Obviously, the next step in the development of information technology in the Russian Federation should be the subsequent integration of departmental, regional and municipal information systems at the federal level. This task of integrating government information systems is so complex that in addition to standardizing documents (for example, based on XML) and integration infrastructure in the form of software, routing XML documents, government efforts are also needed in the field of standardizing data descriptions.

An example of an initiative in this area is the e-GMS (UK GoverNmeNt Metadata StaNdard) standard adopted in the UK. . Many countries have taken as a basis the so-called “Dublin Core”, which includes 15 elements of information description:

• title;
• author or creator;
• topic and keywords;
• description;
• publisher;
• other contributors;
• date of;
• resource type;
• format;
• resource identifier;
• source;
• language;
• communications;
• area (coverage);
• rights management.

In addition to the elements themselves, the “Dublin Core” has so-called clarifications of elements, for example: “Date of creation”, “Date of publication”, “Expiration date”, etc. Countries can not only use this core, but also add any additional elements they deem necessary. In addition, the first tool when searching for information is usually browsing categories. Therefore, government metadata standards initiatives are defining standards for a list of categories (a primary search tool without the use of keywords).

conclusions

When familiarizing yourself with legislation aimed at regulating the provision of state and municipal services in in electronic format, and the organization of interdepartmental information interaction at the state and municipal levels, can be seen:

• actual absence in regulatory legal acts mandatory for compliance with the requirements for standardization of information technologies and software used in government information systems necessary to ensure interdepartmental exchange of information;
• the absence in regulatory legal acts of uniform clear requirements for directories, classifiers and data schemes of information systems used in interdepartmental information exchange;
• the absence in regulatory legal acts of uniform and mandatory mechanisms for providing information and providing assistance to all federal, regional and municipal authorities public services electronic. .

Today, both in the Russian Federation and abroad, the main difficulty in implementing projects in the field of providing electronic services at the state, regional and municipal levels, as well as similar interdepartmental projects, is in conditions where significant efforts are required to integrate data and applications, consists not in the use of certain specific technologies, but in organizing the process of adopting relevant standards and harmonizing the information technology architectures of various organizations and departments.

Projects in the field of providing electronic services at the state, regional, municipal and departmental levels, which are carried out by governments of different countries, provide for the following main types of standards:

• data standards;
• standards for interdepartmental information exchange;
• metadata (and information retrieval) standards;
• safety standards.

A unified modern methodology for maintaining master data is needed, otherwise, as the amount of data increases, the system will become unmanageable.
The regulations and methodology for filling reference books and classifiers must be spelled out in detail, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to ensure high-quality and orderly work of experts in maintaining reference data. There is a need for a clear delineation of the areas of competence and responsibility of users of reference data and experts in its management.

Highly efficient modern technology and reference data management system, problem solving multi-user access to it with the possibility of physical separation of powers, implementing the interaction of users with experts and ensuring easy scaling of the system when increasing both the reference data base and the number of serving experts.
