Abstract

The article is analyzed the modern process of foresight based on textual analytics to identify typical concepts, associations, and relationships to a large-scale phenomenon or problem from a non-monotonically increasing text array. Another case is a typical research task of changes in the functioning or structure of a complex object/system under foresight research. In the process of analysis of the studied object, subject or system is mirrored in the form of specific metadata recorded in a given period. The classifier has a simple appearance, which allows the expert to easily navigate the identified classes on one side, and is marked by different classes of the input body of weakly formalized data from the other. However, together, several classifiers and classifying ontologies can form a more powerful structure of knowledge navigation in the form of a faceted classifier. The analysis of the specifications of the foresight process methods made it possible to separate the entities that these methods operate on. These entities represent the metadata of the foresight process methods as classifiers that have been compiled/created to describe mentioned metadata. The final structure of the metadata classes was proposed depending on the industry or subject domain. To track the foresight process, to analyze the dynamics of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of knowledge acquisition, the following indicators of awareness are introduced: regarding the structure of acquired knowledge, regarding the media of the collected information, and Metadata awareness indicators. The practical calculation of awareness indicators was done.
