Since the Nagoya Protocol on Access to genetic resources and Benefit Sharing (ABS) came into force in 2014, the conservation and assurance of national biodiversity has been internationally stressed. The Government of South Korea is exercising significant efforts to integrate and manage the information pertaining to biological resources in line with this global trend. However, connecting and sharing biodiversity data has certain challenges because the existing databases and information systems are being operated using different standards. In the present study, we established an integrated management system for freshwater biodiversity information, the Freshwater Biodiversity Platform (FBP), to support the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. This platform allows the management of various types of biodiversity data, such as occurrences, habitats and genetics, for freshwater species inhabiting South Korea. The data fields are based on a global biodiversity data standard, Darwin Core, and national biodiversity standards of South Korea in order to share our data more efficiently, both nationally and internationally. It is important to note that the platform deals with information related to the utilization of biological resources as well as information representing the national biodiversity. We have collected bibliographical data, such as papers and patents, from databases, including information on the use of biological resources. The data have been refined by applying a national species list of South Korea and ontology terms in (MeSH) to compile valuable information for biological industries. Furthermore, our platform is open source and is compatible with multiple language packs to facilitate the availability of biodiversity data for other countries and institutions. Currently, the Freshwater Biodiversity Platform is being used to collect and standardize various types of existing freshwater biodiversity data to build foundations for data management. Based on these data, we will improve the platform by adding new systems that can analyze and release data for public access. This platform will provide integrated information on freshwater species from the Korean Peninsula to the world and contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biological resources.

With an increase in the number of Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED)-certified apartments in South Korea, people are receiving incentives from the government to purchase them. Since 2013, many benefits for G-SEED-certified buildings have been offered, such as tax reductions and deregulation of building codes/guidelines. As beneficial incentives are granted to G-SEED-certified buildings, follow-up management of the buildings is also necessary. However, to date, there are no appropriate follow-up management systems or legal regulations for G-SEED-certified buildings. Buildings that are certified by G-SEED in Korean housing buildings account for 6.25% of Korea’s total area. In addition, G-SEED certification has been obtained for more than 20% of the total completed housing area (2014–2017). Therefore, the energy efficiency-management of G-SEED certified buildings is also very important economically for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, domestic and foreign energy efficiency follow-up management systems were analyzed, and the amount of energy that is used by apartment houses with incentives was investigated. We have identified problems with the G-SEED system by analyzing evaluation methods, evaluation items, and points of G-SEED certification in related research studies. We also compared the energy consumption of an apartment building with G-SEED certification with that of adjacent complexes, thereby applying original research methods. The results show that energy use in G-SEED-certified buildings was not efficient. Accordingly, the study confirms that continuous management after G-SEED certification by establishing a follow-up management system is needed. In this study, domestic and foreign follow-up management systems were compared, problems with the apartment housing information management system run by the government were examined, and improvement measures were suggested.

A systemic analysis of the life cycle of products from elastomeric materials was carried out. The main modules of a management system for managing the life cycle - development, production and distribution of products from elastomeric composites on the basis of the integrated information system are described. The main control points of the process control are indicated. A detailed description of complex chemical-technological processes of multicomponent elastomeric composites structuring from the positions of a system approach based on a complex of information and production models is proposed. The model of an automated control system for the chemicaltechnological processes of elastomeric composites structuring based on vibration-rheometric data is considered, which is an example of the use of a control system based on indirect indicators. It is shown that the disturbing effects leading to the deviation of the process indices from the given ones are of a prescription and technological nature. The architecture of the integrated information management system for complex chemical-technological processes of multicomponent elastomeric composites mixing and structuring based on the production rules system is proposed. A block diagram of the algorithm for processing the main rheometric information of elastomeric composites structuring is given.

Due to the increasing frequency and intensity of marine monitoring tasks, the need for a comprehensive information management system for marine monitoring to organize and implement all types of marine monitoring tasks is growing. This paper put forward an integrated information management system for marine monitoring using office automation (OA) technology which is based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) workflow. The system realized the management of monitoring tasks in all aspects and the statistical analysis of data. And it informationized the set of processes required.
