Developing the Expert system as a tool to form encyclopedias and to fill the Common digital space of scientific knowledge

The article reflects the results of work on the development of a universal customizable WEB-based expert system designed to distinguish from a variety of objects those that meet the specified criteria to the maximum extent. Authorized experts, who are selected based on structured data characterizing them, which are entered into the system when registering an expert, assess each object. The system can be used for expert selection of any objects whose properties are presented in digital form, and the formulated assessment criteria are determined by these properties. The task of expert selection of objects of various kinds is one of the most important in the formation of the content of the Common digital space of scientific knowledge (CDSSK). The concept of including printed materials in CDSSK is based on the principle of point reflection (but with deep semantic text markup) of the most important fundamental publi-cations in each scientific field. The selection of such publications should be based on the expert opinion of leading experts in this field of knowledge. It is also necessary to use the principle of expert selection when deciding on the creation of 3D models of museum objects as well as reflections in the CDSSK of film, photo and audio materials. The Expertise system can be used for selecting publications to be included in the National Electronic Library (NEL); for selecting authors of articles for the Great Russian Encyclopedia; for reviewing articles submitted to the editorial offices of scientific journals; for reviewing articles submitted to the editorial boards of scientific journals; for conducting contests of scientific papers, photographs, video materials and other objects, the evaluated properties of which can be presented on the Internet. Compared to the previous version of the system, the description of which was published in 2020, the new version presented in this article has more flexible configuration tools. It can be configured to the expert review of various object groups. The objects of each group are assessed according to their own criteria using their own rating system. By group is meant fundamental monographs published in different years related to the same scientific field; articles proposed for publication in a particular journal; a group of specialists who have expressed a desire to act as authors of commissioned scientific articles, databases reflecting objects of the same type, etc. Each group has its own system of object assessment and own circle experts. The result of the system operation is various rating lists of objects based on processing expert assessments. The system also has a special builtin application that allows a user with the “administrator” status to analyze rating lists and the activity of experts. The article provides a detailed description of the system structure, its functionality, and examples of its use.
