INFORMATION RESOURCE ON ISSUES OF "GREEN CHEMISTRY" FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
The paper presents the results of a typological analysis of network space information resources on the subject of «green chemistry» for sustainable development carried out in 2018-2019. The concept of sustainable development was chosen as a basic one and 200 information resources which place related materials were selected. The resources included texts of electronic versions of traditional newspapers and magazines on issues of «green chemistry» for sustainable development, as well as materials placed on platforms of industrial and educational structures, public organizations, and individual users who run their own websites. The classification of these information resources and their typological characteristics were determined on the basis of a performed review of relevant scientific research. A definition was made of their existing infrastructure and of the role of the web as the latter's component. Special note was made of the apparent advantage of the network in the dissemination of socially significant information which lies in the fact that it unites the documented information and the carrier inseparable from its infrastructure. In the course of the study, the main typological groups of information resources were identified, which are connected with the mass information process in the realization of their functions. Generally speaking, they perform the functions of spiritual culture, more specifically, the functions of information, science, and education. A characteristic is given to the main typological groups of scientific, science popular, research and practical, training, educational, and other information resources which are sufficiently abundant in the network space. These resources include, for example, websites of science journals such as the Chemistry for Sustainable Development and the Young Scientist periodicals, as well as the online element of the science popular project Elements.ru, the electronic science journal Current Issues of Science and Education, and others. On the basis of the obtained data it is concluded that today, the society has got an infrastructure in the network space which enables it to access information on topical issues, including sustainable development and «green chemistry» or useful chemistry, etc.
