Abstract

The article is devoted to the practical aspects of using the ontological model of the STEM Center, which is built on the basis of cognitive information technology “Polyhedron”, in educational and research processes. Tools created using Microsoft and Google Spreadsheets are described. The application of the system of virtual museum Laboratories, a database of microorganisms, an ontological STEM classifier, a virtual laboratory of scientific publica­tions, ontological virtual laboratories of expeditions, and a cognitive system for selecting research papers is analyzed. All tools of the CIT “Polyhedron” can be represented as a taxonomy, object-oriented, or prism. Approaches to data processing using ranking and auditing, which are elements of the CIT “Polyhedron”, have been developed. This ap­proach is used in the selection of data by teachers and students, as well as in the processing of ontological knowledge bases, which is shown on the example of the microbial selection system. The database of a centralized information web-oriented educational environment consists of various types of educational programs. The ontologized program differs from the classical approaches to the interpretation of educational programs by a higher level of structured material and interactivity. Students and teachers can interact with structured curricula. Internal and external search tools are used to search for contexts based on the program’s terminology field. The ontological system of virtu­al museum laboratories provides a high level of structuring of information about objects and their virtualization. This allows you to use Museum ontologies during sightseeing classes. The database of microorganisms in the CIT “Polyhedron” system provided systematization of research knowledge in the educational process. CIT “Polyhedron” made it possible to identify the characteristics of research papers and systematize their processing in accordance with the user’s request.
