This article discusses some ontological properties that determine the possibilities of structural representation and processing of the meaning of documentary information. The concept frameworks for constructing a typified taxonomy of objects and top-level ontology relationships are proposed on the basis of analyzing object lifecycle processes and using the functional cybernetic model of an elementary process.

A data array of Russian publications for 2015 registered in the SCI-E DB was evaluated for the correlation between traditional bibliometrics and altmetrics. A special methodology based on the Kendall rank correlation coefficient was developed for this purpose. In the case of publications, the correlation between the citedness of a publication (the value of the TC field in the SCI-E DB) and its usage (fields U1 and U2) was evaluated. In the case of source journals for the indicated publications, the correlation was determined between the Cited_Half-Life value and the values of journal-usage metrics, which were determined as the mean U1 (U2) value taken for all publications of the journal. It was established that the nature of journal distribution according to the Cited_Half-Life value of the source journals for Russian publications practically coincides with the nature of the distribution of source journals for publications of the entire global flow: the Russian distribution shifted somewhat toward larger Cited_Half-Life values (the median of the global distribution was 6.1, while that of the Russian distribution was 6.2). This shift increased sharply upon considering the number of Russian and global journal publications, respectively (the median of the global distribution was 5.8, while that of the Russian distribution was 6.8).

Various interpretations of the innovative economy, innovation activity, and innovation concepts are given. A consequence of the undefined terminology is the diversity of the semantic load of the term innovation infrastructure. The resulting variety of approaches to solving the problems of information support of innovations is illustrated based on the example of analysis of regulatory and program documents of eight regions of the Siberian Federal District. As an alternative to creating a difficult-to-implement single federal point of reference in the information space, it is proposed to build a network of regional systems that provide navigation and access to appropriate resources for the information provision of innovation activities. In connection with external information resources, a model of the life cycle of innovations is presented, covering all stages from the generation of ideas to the withdrawal of an innovative product from the market.

The problem of developing methods for forming the atoms of a corporate distributed register (blockchain), which provides secure distributed storage of data in an associated chain, is discussed; an example of the application of the proposed methods for the implementation of a conditional tax payment through a smart contract is considered.
