Structuring information for automation-conceptual aspects

The development of information technologies and it infrastructure is radically changing society, management and public administration. However, there is no clear for all stakeholders common system of concepts in the field of it, providing mutual understanding between them, a coherent view of the changes. Therefore, it is necessary to build a basic system of concepts that allows to structure and analyze the changes in a complex way. The article considers such a system of concepts, including terms: conditions, object, subject, situation, object activity and others in connection with the trend of virtualization of the properties of the object environment surrounding a person. This allows us to structure the technical and socio-economic phenomena described by the metaphors of the Digital economy, the Internet of things, Industry 4.0 and others. The proposed approach will provide structural completeness of the description of situations, contribute to the solution of problems of semantic interoperability and goal-setting. Such an approach can be applied in the process of analyzing the functionality of information technologies, in the development and support of information technologies throughout the life cycle, can be a conceptual basis for the development of new information technologies and in the search for their new applications.
