During the year, the brain of every modern person receives and processes such a volume of information that his predecessor from the 17th century accumulated over his entire life.
Every day, to obtain the necessary information, mankind turns to search engines, social networks, mobile applications. And it’s easy to get information, the entire amount of data is stored on the Internet. In 2014, specialists from the Ministry of Culture of Russia proposed creating an Automated Information System for the Common Information Space in the field of culture to provide citizens with up-to-date information about events that are held in the buildings of cultural facilities of the Russian Federation.
Creation Background
An increasing number of Russians less often visit memorable historical places, theaters, museums ... There are a huge number of institutions in the country. But the modern man, not having the desire to go somewhere behind the schedule or not having the opportunity to find out about the upcoming performance on the weekend, about the new exhibition of the famous artist, most often after work just rests in front of the TV or at the monitor screen. The cultural level of the population in the country began to fall. This reason became the prerequisite for the creation of a single information space in the field of culture.
Information Partners
Now every resident of Russia can subscribe to Odnoklassniki, VKontakte, and Twitter on AIS EIPSC pages, install a mobile application on a phone or tablet and receive daily newsletters with full information about events in all cultural institutions: what is prepared, where it will take place, what time, who will participate. The creation of a single information space in the field of culture enables each person to remotely view the entire list of upcoming events and choose and visit the most interesting for him.
How does the system work?
Each representative of a public and private cultural institution is invited to register on the site of a single information space in the field of culture and add his institution (the palace of creativity, a museum, a theater, a circus and others) to the list. Here, project participants publish information about the upcoming event. In addition, there is the opportunity to do newsletters for media representatives.
Thanks to the portal’s capabilities, information about cultural events is instantly distributed via the Internet to social networks (Odnoklassniki, Twitter, Facebook, VKontakte), to mobile applications, and is uploaded to various sites that appear on the first pages of search engines (" Yandex "," Google "). That is, all resources are used that have the ability to convey information to each Internet user.
Single Space Results
During the existence of a single space, statistics were collected. They show these numbers:
- 86 regions of the Russian Federation participate in the project;
- currently about 4,000 institutions are listed;
- About 200,000 people and communities have signed up for newsletters about upcoming events.
Museum Night
The project "Night at the Museum" turned out to be especially successful. About 1000 museums of Russia participate in it. Thanks to the coordinated work of a huge number (about 100) of information partners during the existence of a single information space in the field of culture in museums, more than a thousand events were organized, which were attended by a total of about 100,000 people.
The data obtained identified the main information partners who attract citizens to participate in various events: search engines and social networks. The statistics show that a single information space in the field of culture is a necessary and interesting portal for the residents of the Russian Federation, which should be developed.
