Hanoi (VNA)- The National Agency for Science and Technology Information (NASTI) under the Ministryof Science and Technology, in coordination with the Korea Institute of Science andTechnology Information (KISTI), organised an internationalscientific conference on November 22 dedicated to developing technology database and smart information servicesfor innovation.

In his opening speech, TranDac Hien, the NASTI’s director, said that the conference is a continuation of thesuccess of the 9th RoK-Vietnam Joint Meeting on Science and Technology in October,during which, the two sides agreed to promote cooperation in scientific andtechnological information, transferring the RoK's advanced information analysissystems to Vietnam.

According to Hien, thenational database on science and technology is considered an important datainfrastructure in this field. It is a platform to connect and integrate data ofthe science and technology industry, thus helping organisations, businesses,and people access information and data, contribute to the transparency of scienceand technology activities as well as support scientific research andinnovation.

Building a unified,comprehensive and complete national database on science and technology requiresa change in approach, data-building methods, and coordination of management,information agencies and research staff across the country, he said.

The event isan opportunity to introduce smart information analysis tools that supportinnovation activities to institutes, schools and businesses, helping to savetime and costs through sharing experiences between the Ministry of Science and Information and Communication Technologies of the RoK and Vietnam in thisfield, he said.

It also promotes thedevelopment of consulting and information analysis services to supportmanagers, researchers and businesses in assessing the current status andtechnology development trends in industries as well as support policy planning,research orientation and technology investment decisions, he continued.

According to Eun-sun Kim,Director of the Data Analysis Division under the KISTI, they have had many effective cooperation activities, includingthe V-Compas project.

Compas, an online tool running onbig data platform (BigData) developed by the KISTI, can help businesses look uppatent information, the science and technology market and identify competitors, she said, adding that thistechnology has been transferred to Vietnam.

The success of theV-Compas project will help push up the cooperation between the two Vietnameseagencies and expand cooperation options for Vietnam and the RoK in thefuture, she added.

At the conference, leading experts from the KISTI discussed building an integrated national science and technology database platform basedon the latest artificial intelligence, big data and Supercomputer Centre andsome lessons learned from the RoK regarding this content./.
