The study shows that the key problems in the training of specialists in interdisciplinary areas are the lack of shared understanding of the content of professional competencies and a variety of re-quests for knowledge and skills of graduates. For interdisciplinary educational programs, such as Busi-ness Informatics and Applied Informatics in the economy, the problem is aggravated by the fact that the rapid development of information technologies leads to a constant change in the requirements of employers. To solve these problems, universities need mechanisms for constant adaptation of educational programs to the labor market in a digital environment. The conducted investigation allows to distinguish the following mechanisms: design of educational standards taking into account professional standards, professional and public accreditation, councils of educational programs, questioning of grad-uates and employers, participation of employers at all stages of the educational process. Due to the lack of effective procedures for the use of these mechanisms, they are often applied formally. The paper pre-sents the procedures for the implementation of these mechanisms, tested for five years in the process of constant improvement of bachelor and master programs in “Business Informatics” at Saint Petersburg State University. The proposed procedures can be successfully replicated for other universities regarding their specifics.

The article analyzes the impact of digitalization on the development of a particular country through the example of Russia. Digitalization can only be considered as a trend of effective world development under certain conditions. As the position of any country in the world community is largely determined by the influence of such trend, it becomes relevant to assess the degree of penetration of the digitalization into all aspects of its life. The Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and the International Digital Economy and Society Index (I–DESI) only evaluate the positive results of the influence of digitalization. As negative consequences are possible also, they must be assessed. The article separates the «digitization penetration» concept which only evaluates positive results of digitalization and the «impact of digitization» concept which evaluates both positive and possible negative consequences thereof. The example of Russia in the article reflects not only the penetration, but also the impact of digitalization on Russia’s life. Regretfully, the analysis showed insufficient consideration of the possible negative effects of digitalization. The article proposes a list of measures to manage the processes of digitization. Their implementation on the basis of management programs and regulatory environment should ensure positive results of digitization exceeding the possible negative ones. This will correspond to the effective impact of digitization on the economic and social life of Russia.

Digitalization, which is based on information technology (it), changes all aspects of life. These changes are superimposed on the previous evolution of man and the natural environment. There is a critical dependence on technology, which can cause a collapse in society, economy and nature. The article deals with the issues related to the inclusion of new structural elements in the natural and information environment. There is a demand for a holistic, from the standpoint of improving the quality and safety of life, consideration of nature – like solutions: on the one hand – the introduction of it into the environment changed by technology, and on the other-the possibility of using nature-like technologies in the implementation and development of it. The metaphor of nature likeness is considered in relation to these aspects. A system of basic concepts in the context of the use of nature-like technologies in solving problems of digitalization is proposed. The issues of convergence of technologies on the example of functions to ensure the safety of subjects, as well as the advantages and limitations of objects of biological and technological evolution. The classification of security threats in natural and technical systems in the conditions of digitalization and related issues of goal-setting and adaptation of society to changes are given. It is noted that for the first time society and nature are connected by a single information framework based on global public communications and information processing capabilities. The formation of a universal history for each of the objects reflected in it, together with new opportunities, generates significant security threats and risks in the human environment of the object. It is noted that nature-like technologies can help in solving many problems in the introduction of digital technologies, including in solving the problems of ensuring the safety of activities in the digital infrastructure.

The organization of information exchange in active data production is one of the main tasks of the digital economy. Many economic institutions, such as the Rosstat, the Federal Tax Service, the Central Bank of Russia have become data aggregators, whose work is based on industrial methods of data consuming and data production. Main part of the data traffic today refers to the financial content. Information modeling includes four classes of objects involved in the performance of economic processes: physical assets, financial assets, intangible assets and people. The paper shows the methods of information modeling, based on a meaningful perception of socio-economic processes that will allow to extend this ideology to other categories of objects. Information circulation is organized through the exchange through the central hub. The paper considers the option of data warehouse on the ontology basis, as a tool for bringing together management and information technology points of view. The organization of information exchange between systems through a central hub implies correct overlay data located in different sources. To solve this problem, a Data Vault storage model was used. There are various techniques for implementing this model, and the ontology variant was used in the work. The standard version assumes the solution of the existing tasks of the application and does not take into account the adequacy the data model and the domain. The article describes the features of the data preparation phase for loading into the ontology based data warehouse. The composition of data preparation operations in this case differs from the standard approach, since it involves checking the relevance of individual constituent elements of the ontology hierarchy. The paper describes a tool for checking the relevance of data describing individual objects and transactions. The ontological representation of the domain allows to organize a through connection between the formalized reflection of the domain and the exchange data model.

The article discusses the new features provided in situational-oriented databases (SODB) for the implementation of microservice architecture. SODB - a project integrator of heterogeneous data within the approach polyglot persistence on the base of the information processor, built-managed situational model. Access to heterogeneous data is organized in the SODB based on the concept of virtual documents that are displayed on heterogeneous physical data. The article discusses the microservice architecture based on SODB, a modern approach that provides better scalability and modifiability of web applications based on HTTP requests. The task is set to process HTTP requests by the microservice within the framework of the general concept of virtual documents. To solve the problem, a new type of virtual document has been introduced, which is displayed on an HTTP request, which facilitates the microservice, on the one hand, access to the request properties and the data attached to it, and on the other, the formation of an HTTP response. The article discusses how to process an HTTP request using an example of a typical situational model of a microservice that maintains a relational database table based on a data source - an external web service. The structure of the situational model that processes and forms the response depending on the type of request and the situations encountered is examined in detail. An example of the practical implementation of a complex of microservices based on SODB for monitoring student views of educational videos on YouTube is given.
