Creating a Service-Oriented Information and Educational Space

The current stage of the digitalization of education is associated with the transition to professional standards as a basis for practice-oriented training of competent professionals who can actively function given the constant improvement of various kinds of technology and have a high degree of professional qualification and competitiveness. At present, a vast number of new professions and activities related to digital transformation and re-engineering of traditional business processes are emerging in the labor market. As a response to such a challenge of our time, the highest priority becomes the task of even more in-depth practice-oriented training of highly qualified personnel for the digital economy based on a variety of methods and tools to support learning. The goal of the present study is to develop fundamentally new methods of creating educational programs with consideration of individual requirements and characteristics of students. In this area, the standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium, such as WSDL, SAWSDL, SOAP, UDDI, WSMO, are used. However, their application in the process of composition and interaction of information and educational services leaves several unresolved issues, which are considered in this article. As a result of the conducted research, the authors attempt to conceptually define the composition and principles of creating ontologies to provide for the search for and subsequent design of services of the information and educational space. Keywords—concept, information and educational environment, ontology, semantic interoperability, serviceoriented architecture.
