The information structure of the electronic library "Diversity of plant communities of Northern Eurasia" is presented. The existing standards of electronic representation of ecological and biological data are considered, and new ones are proposed, including a document characterising a plant unit of any rank. Examples of the databases intended for applied directions of the investigation of the vegetation are described, both nature-conservative and resource ones. The technology of developing information systems on the diversity of vegetation is described. The work was supported by RFBR, Project No. 03-04-49746, 03-04-96025, 03-07-96837 and the Integration Project of the SB RAS No. 145.
