Regional Digital Cluster Of Traditional Verbal Culture

Abstract

The article presents the first effort of research in the problem of verbal folk culture preservation through the systematic implementation of information technologies. The purpose of the study is to define a model of a regional digital cluster of authentic culture on the example of a system of electronic forms, the content of which represents the traditional folk culture and language of the Pskov region. The regional cultural cluster is understood as a single system of interconnected electronic forms, the content of which represents the traditional folk culture and language of the Pskov region. The article considers the stages of creating a cluster, its current state and development prospects. A comprehensive program of digitization of archival material has been implemented in the Laboratory of Socio-Humanitarian Regionics, Pskov State University, since 2005. The purpose of the program is to preserve the cultural heritage concentrated in two interconnected archives -folklore and dialect ones. A set of measures is being implemented to maintain and develop a system of modules of a single cluster of traditional verbal culture of the "Pskoviana" region. The structural organization of the cluster is represented by a number of certain modules. The modules have different levels of attraction. Thus, digitized audio and text files form the basis of electronic databases. The cluster's development prospects are associated with the creation of new modules and segments in existing modules, the modernization of the platform and design, and an increase in the level of interactivity.
