ABSTRACT
The prospects of the WDC system development, its increasingly important role in
space and earth science and continuing efforts to perfect it in every way are, to a
great extent, associated with the initiatives and participation of its creators in
setting up globally distributed information-retrieval systems. The CEOS
International Directory Network project is at the moment deeply and crucially
involved in these activities. The network recently launched an extension to Russia
through the Russian IDN Cooperating Node managed by the Geophysical Center
of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Three main fields of activity are considered: (i) improvements of the users-IDN
information resources links, (ii) plans for creating a GEONET informationcomputer network by joint efforts of the RAS Department for Geology, Geophysics,
Geochemistry and Mining, which is viewed as an IDN prospective component part,
and (iii) improvement of the on-line information system GOLDIS, Version 2, which
is now a division of the IDN catering to Russian users of IDN resources.

RESUME
Les perspectives du developpement du Systeme WDC, l'importance croissante de
son role en matiere de sciences de I' espace et de la terre ainsi que les efforts
continus pour son perfectionnement, sont en grande partie associes aux initiatives
et a la participation de ses createurs a mettre au point des systemes largement
distribues de recherche documentaire. Le projet du Reseau de I 'Annuaire
International CEOS est actuellement tres fortement implique dans ces activites. Le
reseau a lance recemment une extension a la Russie par Ie "Russian IDN
Cooperating Node" gere par Ie Centre Geophysique de l'Academie Russe des
Sciences.
On analyse trois champs principaux d' activite: - I' amelioration des liens en
ressources d'information pour les utilisateurs IDN, - les projets pour creer un
Reseau d'Information Informatique GEONET au moyen d'efforts conjoints du
Departement RAS de Geologie, de Geophysique, de Geochimie et des Mines, qui
est considere comme un element d'avenir IDN, et - l'amelioration du systeme online GOLD IS, version 2, qui est actuellement une division de distribution des
services IDN pour les usagers russes.
