1 General information
The main tasks of the TACIS project are posed as following:
to collect, interpret and disseminate socio-economic data on development of information society
on the Baltic Palette Region and to use this information in regional development and planning.
The supposed results of activity are:
• joint socio-economic database,
• virtual map office and planners toolbox for analyzing and presenting socio-economic
indicators of information society and the use of planning tools and and acquired
information for regional development.
Stages of the project are as following:
• Socio-economic indicators of information society development will be defined, invented
and data will be collected
• Developing the portal for spatial data: creation of comparable maps and analyses, as well
as building database and updating websites; dissemination of results
• Continuing of developing the portal for spatial data: creation of comparable maps and
analyses continues, as well as building database and updating websites; dissemination of
results, writing the final report.
The main members of the Russian group are:
1. Sergey Zhdanov, St.-Petersburg city Government
2. Sergey Nosov, St.Petersburg, Leontief Centre
3. Irina Roudakova, Leningrad Oblast, Kirishi GIS Centre
4. Yuri Ardatov, St.Petersburg, WTC
Besides main members another persons participated in the work and assisted in collecting and
processing information as well as programming.

2 Methodics of Information Society benchmarking

The first problem arising while fulfilling TACIS tasks was to make the inventarization of
methodics of evaluation of development of information society and to determine together with
other groups of the Baltic Palette Information group the universal methodics.

At the moment there are different methodics of evaluation of the development of information
society. Our group examined some of them and believes that they are in some sense rather
similar. Among basic methodics we can mention

2.1 World Bank indicators

Most interested in adequate indicators are the financial institutions, so on their basis the risks,
volumes and conditions of the financial investments are defined. Therefore degree of trust to
such indicators can be high.
World Bank develops various systems of indicators. The brief review on two of them is given
below.
1. KAM - Knowledge Assessment Methodology
2. WDI - World Development Indicators
2.1.1 KAM - Knowledge Assessment Methodology
WBI’s program on Knowledge for Development uses a knowledge assessment methodology
(KAM) which consists of a set of 69 structural and qualitative variables that benchmark how an
economy compares with its neighbors, competitors, or countries it wishes to emulate. It helps to
identify the problems and opportunities that a country faces, and where it may need to focus
policy attention or future investments. The comparison for the 69 variables is undertaken for a
group of 100 countries which includes most of the developed OECD economies and about 60
developing economies
The set of 69 variables serve as proxies for the four areas that are critical in the development of a
knowledge-based economy, namely:
An economic and institutional regime to provide incentives for the efficient use of existing and
new knowledge and the flourishing of entrepreneurship.
An educated and skilled population to create, share, and use knowledge well.
A dynamic information infrastructure to facilitate the effective communication, dissemination,
and processing of information.
· An efficient innovation system of firms, research centers, universities, consultants and other
organizations to tap into the growing stock of global knowledge, assimilate and adapt it to local
needs, and create new technology.
In addition, the KAM includes several variables that track the overall performance of the
economy. These variables help to illustrate how well an economy is actually using knowledge for
its overall economic and social development.

The KAM indicators for Russia are attached in Annex 1.

2.1.2 WDI - World Development Indicators

The World Development Indicators (WDI) is the World Bank's premier annual compilation of
data about development. WDI 2003 includes approx. 800 indicators in 87 tables, organized in six
sections: World View, People, Environment, Economy, States and Markets, and Global Links.
The tables cover 152 economies and 14 country groups-with basic indicators for a further 55
economies.
In paragraph States and Markets there subparagraph Information and technology, that can be
used for estimation of the level of development of IS. The list of indicators is shown below .
Nowadays WDI 2003 is available (not free).

2.2 eEurope benchmarking indicators

The European program eEurope 2005 decided to have a limited number of policy indicators
which are easy to read and understand and are linked to the policy actions of eEurope 2005,
making it easier to draw attention to results. Main indicators relating to political goals should be
accompanied by supplementary goals statistical indicators providing technical data for analysis
e/g/ age, gender, size, sector. 3rd country comparisons are needed to establish benchmarks and
compare EU with the best in the world. Results from benchmarking are disseminated as rapidly
as possible using the eEurope website.

Proposed indicators

• Internet indicators
o Citizens access to and use of Internet
o Enterprises access to and use of ICT
o Internet access costs
• Modern online public services
o E-government
o E-learning
o E-health
• A dynamic e-business environment
o Bying and selling on-line
o E-business readiness
• A secure information infrastructure
o Internet users experience and usage regarding ICT security
• Broadband
o Broadband penetration

2.3 BiSER – benchmarking the Information Society: e-Europe indicators for European
regions
The structure of the indicators is as following:

• Government/Public Administration
• Regional Identity
• Transport and the Environment
• Health and Care
• Business enterprise
• Innovation and R&D
• Work and Labour Market
• Education, Training and Skills
• Social cohesion
 • ICT Infrastructure
The full list of BiSER indicators are cited in Annex 2.

2.4 SIBIS project indicators

(Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society)
SIBIS (Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society) is a project in the
"Information Society Programme" of the European Commission (IST-2000-26276) running
from January 2001 to September 2003 (http://www.sibis-eu.org/).
SIBIS has taken up the challenge of developing innovative information society indicators to take
account of the rapidly changing nature of modern societies and to enable the benchmarking of
progress in EU Member States. These indicators will be tested and piloted in a representative
survey in all EU member states. The SIBIS project is closely related to the eEurope and
eEurope+ initiatives of the European Union and contributes to measuring the progress of
eEurope actions covering all EC member states, Switzerland, the USA and 10 candidate
countries.
SIBIS is a project for the definition and piloting of statistical indicators to be used for measuring
and benchmarking important domains and issues of the Information Society. These will be based
on real life, rich in information and can be easily used for informing policy and practice. SIBIS
will produce an indicator system which unfolds and compares the state of development of
European countries towards the Information Society, carry out an initial benchmarking based on
this indicator system, and strongly support the development of policy in this field. As another
key result, the survey results provide an unrivalled, unique and representative single source of
reliable data on current and medium term aspects in the Information Society domains across the
EU member states, Switzerland, the USA and 10 candidate countries ready for use by the
project's target audience.
The indicator system consists of 133 indicators in total of which 34 indicators have been selected
as key indicators as they are believed to be particularly well suited for monitoring the
information society. Classes are:

2.4.1 General access and use

• Internet readiness
• Digital divides

2.4.2 Factors determining Internet access and use

• Information Security
• Perceptions as possible access barriers
• Digital literacy, learning and training

2.4.3 On-line purposes

• E-Commerce
• E-Work
• E-Science
• E-Government
• E-Health

3 The IS readiness in Russia

Nowadays in Russia the questions of information society development are of big importance in
the state policy. In July 2000 president Putin signed Okinava chart on information society G8 In
2002 the Russian Government confirmed and become to realize federal program E-Russia (2002-
2010) The federal program “Development unified educational informational environment (2001-
2005) In federal program of Russia’s economy development new economy based on ICT is
declared as a priority. From the beginning 2003 the new national strategy « Russia in
information age” is developed. Its main purpose is unite and coordinate all creating sources for
transition Russia to information society.

One of recent researches of the Russia readiness to information society transition was done by
Moscow group of а Direction of monitoring of information society development of the institute
of development of information society. This group adopted international methodics to Russia’s
conditions and take as a basic groups of indicators of IS development as follows:
• ICT access
• Human resources
• Business climate
• State regulation
• Use of ICT
This group also developed a methododology for comparative analysis of Russia’s regions
readiness to information society and make a pilot project for 6 regions IS development.
Besides that the competition between Russia’s regions took place in 2003 in following thematics:

• State support of the regional informatization .

• ICT access .
• Use of ICT for regional development
o ICT in education
o ICT in medicine
o ICT in culture
o E-government
o E-business
• Human resources
• Business climate .

St.Petersburg was among winners in following nominations: ICT access, use of ICT for regional
development (ICT in education, medicine, culture).

4 The general list of indicators and availability of data for Russia

The Finnish action group prepared a list of indicators on the base of mentioned above indicators.
Our group examined the availability of data according to list of indicators prepared by Finnish
colleagues. Most of the data are available from State statistics office. In the Annex 3 one can find
the list of general indicators, proposed by Finnish consultants and availability of it’s values for
Russia.

Analyzing the availability of values of indicators one can divide all data in 4 following groups:
• Values available in state statistics office
• Values available in state statistics office in integrated form (for example for country, no
data for region or not available required detalization)
• Values available in non official statistics
• Values are not available, special survey is required

There are some problems that will arise while comparing the indicators for different countries:
• Different classification for industries (SIC codes)
• Different classification for universities specialities (what is ICT students?)
 • Different classification for working specialities (what is ICT workers?)

5 Strategic planning in St.Petersburg and Leningrad oblast

The statistic indicators can show the nowadays situation in the region but to understand where
the city is going it’s necessary to have a corresponding Strategic plan for city development and to
monitor it’s realization.
St.-Petersburg has it’s Strategic plan (http://www.stratplan.leontief.ru/
(http://www.stratplan.leontief.ru/)) and monitor it’s
realization (http://www.monitoring.leontief.ru ). Few cities of Leningrad oblast also has it’s
Strategic plans.

The Strategic plan for St.-Petersburg was developed in 1995-1997 by more then 1000 experts of
the city. It was ratificated by Governor in 1997.
The Strategic plan contains more then 200 measures, including 7 ICT measures.
The Strategic plan has a hierarchy of goal-objective-measure. The correspondence between goal-
objective-measure is shown for all ICT measures in following table.

In
n July 1999 the conception ”Strategy of St. Petersburg’s transition to the information society”
was developed by St. Petersburg Government and InfoDev (World Bank) Project Organization.

The structure of the document is following:

• General provisions
• Strategic objectives, trends and tasks associated with St. Petersburg’s transition to the
information society
• The main strategic principles for creating St. Petersburg’s information society
• The stages in creating the information society in St. Petersburg
• The prior objectives and tasks of creating St. Petersburg’s information society
• Creating St. Petersburg’s information society and strategic plan
• Creating mechanisms for St. Petersburg’s transition to the information society
The whole text of documents is attached in Annex 4.
Besides Strategic Plan and conception ”Strategy of St. Petersburg’s transition to the information
society” St.-Petersburg has a program e-St.-Petersburg. It’s main directions are shown in Annex
5 (Russian)

6 Systems of classification as the base tool for processing official statistics

Most significant for acceptance of the decisions in the field of spatial planning are the indicators,
which can be calculated on the basis of the official statistical data. Estimating activity of
organizations, firms and people in required area, it is necessary to have classifiers, which will
allow allocating in set of statistical parameters those groups of objects of statistics, which are
necessary for calculation of indicators.
To ensure comparability of calculated indicators for various regions, the uniform approach to
processing the available national statistical data should be realized. On this way there are certain
complexities, as in each country in official statistics the classifiers can be used which differ from
classifiers used in other country.
The United Nations and European Commission conduct the large work on formation of uniform
principles of classification in the different countries and this work is a basis of maintenance
comparability of statistics of the various countries and regions.
The UN develops recommendations to classification of economic activity and production on a
global scale. The European Commission forms on this basis more detailed classifiers for the EU
members. The countries create the national systems of classification, in which aspire to take into
account the recommendations of UN and EC. In the given below table the systems of
classification of economic activity and production on the mentioned three levels is show. For a
national level, as an example, the classifiers of Russia are shown.

CN - Combined Nomenclature (1988)
OKVED - All-Russian classificatory of economic activities classes (2003)
OKDP - All-Russian classificatory of economic activities, products and services (1993)
TNVED - Commodity Nomenclature of external economic activity

* - Also EU supports extension for NACE (sections C, D and E), named PRODCOM (List of
PRODucts of the European COMmunity) - statistical nomenclature of EU on production of
branches line of a mining industry, processing industry, manufacture and distribution of the
electric power, gas and water

Systems of classifiers used in Russia further will be in more details described.

Since January 1, 2003 in Russia the OKVED classifier is entered which corresponds to the
European NACE classifier on classes of economic activity. It speaks about aspiration of Russia
to have a high degree of economic integration with the EU countries.
Within two years the smooth transition of national statistics to this classifier will be carried out.
At the same time, as is known, national statistics is formed with some delay to the estimated
periods therefore many statistical data will be based for the present on old classifiers.
The new classifier of economic activity named OKVED has replaced the old OKONH (All-
union classifier of a national economy branches) classifier and sections I of the OKDP classifier.
The sections II and III of the OKDP describe production and services.

For maintenance of use of old classifiers and OKVED the transitive keys are developed which
provide an opportunity of use of old and new classifiers in the transitive period. Figure illustrates
this connection.
As the classifiers have different structure, not for all OKVED classes it was possible to establish
unequivocal conformity with OKONH and OKDP classes.
In the appendix the OKVED sections are given which relate to indicators calculation for
estimation of an information society development
In connection with that NACE reflects national classification structures, in it are taken into
account not only kinds of activity which are common for all EU states, but also priority classes
of activity for each of them. By result of such approach was the essential increase of number of
classification groupings in comparison with ISIC. In OKVED, with the purpose of the account of
features of domestic practice, some groupings NACE were deaggregated.
In OKVED for classification of economic activity classes are used a hierarchical method of
classification and consecutive method of coding.
The OKVED structure is following.
The sections and subsections of the classifier are designated by the letters of the Latin alphabet
and do not enter into structure of a code designation, carrying out function of the reference-
search device. Besides the sections carry out the important function at definition of the basic
class of activity, according to the methods, accepted in the international practice.

For example:
Section D: Manufacturing industry
Subsection DA: Manufacture of foodstuff, including drinks, and tobacco

The lowermost level of OKVED includes 6 digits.

The common structure of six-digit codes for formation of OKVED objects groupings is
following:

ХХ. class
ХХ.Х subclass
ХХ.ХХ group
ХХ.ХХ.Х subgroup
ХХ.ХХ.ХХ type

For example:
75 STATE MANAGEMENT AND DEFENSE; OBLIGATORY SOCIAL
MAINTENANCE
75.1 State management of general and socio-economic character
75.13.8 Management of general economy subjects, trade and manpower
75.13.83 Management of activity in the field of labor and employment

For maintenance of conformity of OKVED codes records to NACE codes records, between the
second and third digits and between the fourth and fifth digits the dot is put. At presence
additional, in comparison with NACE, detailed elaboration the dot is put also between the fourth
and fifth digits of a code.
Total of OKVED classification groups shown in the sheet.

OKVED
Groupings Number Codes
Section 17 1 letter
Subsection 16 2 letters
Class 60 2 digits
Subclass 222 3 digits
Groups 509 4 digits
Subgroups 725 5 digits
Types 277 6 digits

In OKVED at hierarchy levels from sections up to groups the conformity to codes and contents
of NACE groupings is achieved.
For classification of economic activity in OKVED at all levels of hierarchy according to the
international practice are used as the basic - attributes of sphere of activity and process of
manufacture. At performance of the same process of manufacture, as a distinctive basic attribute,
the attribute “used primary products and materials” can also be allocated.
According to the international practice in OKVED such classification attributes are not taken
into account, as the pattern of ownership, organizational-legal form and departmental
subordination of the managing subjects, is not done of distinctions between internal and foreign
trade, market and not market, commercial and noncommercial kinds of economic activity.
Except for the basic classification part, in OKVED there is an appendix, which includes the
descriptions of kinds of economic activity, revealing the contents of groupings and/or giving
links to other groupings of the classifier. Thus the descriptions of higher groupings are
distributed to all groupings, included in them.
The construction of OKVED separate groupings has features:
o In section B: "Fishery, fish farming"
o The essential differences from NACE at a level of 3- and 4- digits groupings take place
in OKVED within the framework of the class 27: "Metallurgical manufacture"
o In a class 73 descriptions of groupings are given according to the Federal law "About a
science and state scientific and technical policy" from August 23, 1996 #127-FZ
o In the class 80 "Education" of the name of groupings: 80.1, 80.2, 80.3 and their
descriptions are given according to the Federal law "About education" from July 10, 1992
#3266-1 (in edition of the Federal laws from January 13, 1996 #12-FZ and from
November 16, 1997 #144-FZ).
Maintanance of OKVED carries out the Ministry of economic development and trade of Russian
Federation.
As a whole, the introduction in Russia OKVED is the large positive factor, as it provides
compatibility of classifications of economic activity classes for formation integral parameters of
EU and Russia statistics

In Annex 9 the list of IT activity according to OKVED codes are shown

8 Role of regional adminstrations in transferring St.-Petersburg and

Leningrad oblast to information society
8.1 General provisions
In accordance with the Concept of formation of an information society in Russia which
has been approved by the decision of the State commission on informatization at the State
committee of the Russian Federation on telecommunication and informatization ( May, 28,
1999), the state plays the leading part in supporting of process of transition to an information
society for the account:
 • coordination of activity of various participants of this process;
• development of institutes of democracy in all territory of the country, providing civil
rights of citizens in conditions of an information society and formation of an open
information society;
• saving in the hands of state political, economic and legal mechanisms, regulating "game
rules" for participants of this process;
• creating the legislative and legal bases, forms and the methods of administrative
regulation promoting inflow of investments and development of a fair competition;
• attracting the private sector of economy to active participation during transition period;
• providing freedom of a choice of directions of activity to the enterprise structures
interested in development of manufacture and the domestic market of information -
communication tools, products and services.

In conditions of absence of the powerful financial mechanisms, capable to provide the transition
to an information society, the basic means of state regulation and the control over processes of
transition is the legislative and legal bases regulating information relations in a society. The
statistical data used in this paragraph was provided by St.-Petersburg and Leningrad oblast
Administrations.

9 Virtual map office

According to technical assignment of TACIS project the virtual map office and planners toolbox
for analyzing and presenting socio-economic indicators of information society was developed. It
was disposed in Internet http://balticpalette.leontief.ru .
Five information layers was installed ion the site:
• St.-Petrsburg and districts of Lenoblast
• Districts of St.-Petersburg and Lenoblast
• Domains of access of three cellular operators (Megafon, MTS, BeeLine)
The GIS-server as means for display of the map-related data was used as a basic tool for creating
spatial data site. This software is a reliable tool for handling map information by means of a
standard Web-browser. The GIS-server is based on the “client-server” technology, which allows
application of complex facilities for analysis and visual display to the map-related data due to
vast computational power of the server. The GIS-server performs the following functions:
• Retrieving a map fragment with specified layers and defined scale as a bit map graphic
file. It is also possible to introduce inscriptions for the specified objects;
• Retrieving information on objects from specified layers including a defined point on the
map;
• Analytical coloring in accordance with the defined attributes;
• Integration of the retrieved information found as a unified page, which can be printed or
stored as a html file.

Interactive map can dispose all project information on the regions along with the map of the
regions. Besides that the user can fulfill standard operations with map: zooming in and out and
pan.

To get the information on the region press the button "Information on object" and with help of
mouse click any point in the region. You will get information on the region in the right window.

User can zoom the map in one of two modes - zoom-in or zoom-out. Press a button or ,
thus the cursor takes the form of a cross. You should allocate scaling area of a map by pressing
and keeping the mouse button. Release the mouse. It is necessary to wait for loading the updated
map image.
User can "move" the map. For that purpose user can press the button "Pan" . The cursor will
get the form of "hand". User can move over a map by pressing and keeping the mouse pressed
for a desirable distance, then release the mouse. It is necessary to wait for loading the updated
map image.

In order to have the necessary set of layers on the map tick the chosen layers and they will be
displayed.

Take into account, that some layers are "opaque" and being opened can close other layers. In this
case, it is necessary to change the order of displaying by using the button . .

The software makes it possible to construct the thematics maps connected to distribution of any
indicators between the countries. See it below

The following layers are currently available on the map:

• St.-Petersburg and district of Lenoblast

• Districts of St.-Petersburg and Lenoblast
• Domain of access of cellular operator Megafon
• Domain of access of cellular operator MTS
• Domain of access of cellular operator BeeLine

10 Proposals for future co-operation «The development of global spatial data
infrastructure»
The theme « The development of global spatial data infrastructure (GSDI)» was discussed on the
seminars of IS working group in Kirishi and in Helsinki in the February 2004. During discussion
it was decided to consider this theme as of main importance for mutual co-operation. The basic
approaches to the problem of development of GSDI is proposed in the “Developing spatial data
infrastructures: The SDI Cookbook” (Annex 11). The problem of development of GSDI has 3
components:

• development of open unified cartographical base

• development of standards for interexchange of spatial data

• development of law basement for GSDI

Here by is enclosed the proposal for initial step of development of GSDI.

It connected mainly with second part of whole problem (as most simple) and directed on
collecting information for solving first and third parts of the whole problem.
The theme of project is “International Standards Use for Integration of Informational Spatial
Data Systems”

10.1 Background
At present time State institutions generate a great number of specialized Internet-based
informational spatial data systems for the tasks of public administration. But there is a lack in
unified interfaces of spatial data and metadata exchange. This lack makes it impossible to
integrate these spatial data systems effectively into united informational infrastructure of
regional spatial data. Creating of such united informational infrastructure of regional spatial data
on the basis of international standards would allow more efficient implementation of public
administration and social planning of regional development along with further integration of a
region into a world information space.
On international level such consortiums as Open GIS, W3C, IETF develop the standards
in the field of spatial data integration. Here in Russia GIS Association is working on the same
question.

10.2 Objectives
The main Objective of the Project is creation of united informational infrastructure of
spatial data for the purposes of public administration and social planning.

This central purpose can be subdivided into following objectives:

• Promoting the standards for integration of informational spatial data systems
• Working out unified requirements to an interface of informational systems, which
provide the spatial data integration for Administrations of Saint-Petersburg and
Leningrad Region
• Implementation of a pilot project on the base of unified requirements to an interface
of informational systems, which provide the spatial data integration
10.3 Beneficiaries (Main partners)

• Administration of Saint-Petersburg, Russia

• Administration of Leningrad Region, Russia
• Administration of Uusima Region, Finland
• Stockholm City adminstration
• and others

10.4 Main executors of the project (Additional partners)

• “E-Development Partnership in the North-West” Non-Profit Partnership, Russia

• Finnish Information Society Development Network (TIEKE), Finland
• And others

10.5 Main activities

• Inventory of international the standards in the field of spatial data systems integration.
Creation of Internet-based electronic library of standards in the field of spatial data
systems integration
• Analysis of existing standards in the field of spatial data systems integration
• Working out a method of international standards use in the process of informational
systems design
• Implementation of a pilot project based on the methodic worked out
• Dissemination of information about the standards in the field of spatial data systems
integration and the method of their use in the North-West of Russia and in Finland.
Preparation and conducting an international seminar dedicated to the topic of spatial data
systems integration
