ways:

•Anxiety of a management of Moldova the tendency to growth of number of weak dissertations and increase in number of scientific degrees at civil servants and

businessmen

•Reception of the grant MX2-3027 from

• 25 – on doctor habilitat;

• 164 - on doctor;

• 16 - on profesor;

• 86 – on associated profesor (docent);

26 proposal from citizen of Moldova is proved by:

•the necessary experts for carrying out of protection absence in Moldova

• the requirement to represent work only in the Romanian language

In Economical Sciences their number increase from 44 up to 104, in Law from 63 up to 149.

In another fields of science total number decrease from 38 to 28.

The groundwork for the development of ETD in Moldova was provided by the creation of an information system for the

management of information contained in

•scientific monographs,

•journal articles,

•the other publications issued in the Republic of Moldova.

(19)

The Mediateca web site (http://www.mir.acad.md/) and its related underlying software provide a platform for the maintenance,

acquisition, sorting, and extraction of data in three languages (English, Romanian, and Russian).

(20)

The results of our work were presented at several scientific conferences

BIT+ 2001, 2002, 2003, RCDL 2001 and 2002.

The project also resulted in two articles and was the theme of six theses The results of our work give us new directions to partisipited in new grants:

•development mediateca in portal - grant CRDF MM1-3329

•cooperation in e-publication technologies (cept) - grant Italy- Moldova

•ETD

(21)

The our main goal in building the Mediateca database was to create an information resource that would provide access to

Moldavian scientific literature in 21st century. One of the most important objectives of Mediateca would be to create a

comfortable interface to the “scientific content,” that would be interesting for all participants. Applications of the Mediateca would ideally offer interesting and up-to-date scientific and

educational information that would also encourage the spreading of knowledge about science. This system would also be very useful in raising public awareness of the importance of science

(22)

The researchers of Moldova, as well as others from around the world, need operational access to the new information on studies and research results produced in this country. This need determines the next main goals of our work:

•the creation of a technological tool for navigation and access to ETD and software information sources;

•the organization of a networked center for the collection and exchange of scientific and educational information in Moldova;

(23)

•the integration of scientific and educational institutions, and other research and development collectives of Moldova into the

worldwide informational field;

•the organization and support of the direct communications with the keepers and producers of electronic information (scientific institutes, programmers, authors, libraries);

•the dissemination of accumulated experiences from the creation of ETD, the software library, and information about its possibilities among scientific and educational associations.

(24)

The ETD project would attempt to realize the following main objectives:

•to offer reliable, up to date information on the current significant scientific activities in the country,

•to make possible world-wide wide access to lesser-known (but not less-important) scientific publications,

•to create an open virtual space to all interested participants to share information and ideas,

•to be tool for sharing information in multidisciplinary research

(25)

As a result of the successful fulfillment of the project, the following accomplishments will be realized:

•An informational Web-portal based on the creation of the

conditions for the development of national information resources, including ETD, with the access through local networks and Internet;

•Virtual partnership and international cooperation in ETD;

•The database of ETD;

(26)

•Standardized user interface specifications and implementation;

•Information on the availability of the system and its resources will be directed to scientific libraries, leading universities and information centers;

•Created resources of ETD will become available for the research workers, post-graduates, students and specialists of

(27)

The successful implementation of the project program has a long- term character and will promote:

•the creation of conditions for the development of national information resources of ETD;

•the development of direct contacts and widening the interaction between specialists on ETD.

This work realization presents an important aspect of the active integration of the scientific potential of Moldova into the world scientific and information space.
