Abstract

The article attempts to specify the notion of expert and professional community as a social and information medium of effective professional activity in the modern information society. The author highlights specific difference between expert communities and professional groups and classes in their general meaning, features of their social identification, conditions of their reproduction and institutionalization. It is of no question that the main condition of functioning of expert communities is creating a high quality information medium and efficient knowledge exchange within a particular profession. This task is solved by developing professional information content systems that bear all the functions of organizing and adaptation of all professional data in the digital medium. The close interconnection between a profession and its information support puts forward a question about the methods of expert communities’ improvement as one of the ways of Russian society modernization.
