Creating a strategic national knowledge architecture: A comparative analysis of knowledge source innovation in the ICS subfields of multimedia and IT security

This paper introduces a part of the research and emphasizes the segment of comparative and multicriteria statistical trend analyses within the second of 12 standardized IT fields. The paper focuses on the subfields with the highest intensity of knowledge innovation: multimedia coding, audio, images (sub-committee ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29), and IT security techniques (/SC 27). According to the International Classification of Standards (ICS), multimedia and security are classified into the second IT field (ICS2 = 35.040). The paper aims to provide and improve resources for product quality on the basis of the growth of knowledge source innovation. Simultaneously with the analysis of local resources, the trend of global source innovation is analyzed from the population of statistical samples of the standardized knowledge source units within the observed IT subfield. The research results provide confirmation of the hypotheses in PDCA phases and decision-making towards security and improvement of resources and products.
