Resource Economic Industries are overviewed in the paper as wide productive, commercial, and intellectual activities' spheres that create material basis for human species existence. With respect to their substrate, they are classified into, (1), providing the humankind with nutrition stuffs, referred to as agricultural production or Agro-Management, and, (2), mining, processing, and marketing of minerals and fossil fuels, used as resources for various other industries and for individual consumption. According to Russian scientific tradition both abovementioned activities' spheres are rendered as closely related parts of «prirodopol'zovanie» - Nature Management or rather Husbandry. Apart from agricultural and mineral resources production and utilization Nature Husbandry sweeps over Forest Management, Land Tenure, Water and Atmosphere Usage. Alongside with proper managerial functions it envisages various other forms of human activities, as well as rational and cautious attitude toward natural assets utilization as a whole. The Nature Management direction, almost globally recognized now as Mineral Resources Management (MRM), according to peculiar longstanding Russian tradition continues to be rendered as Subsoil Usage. At the same time there have been proposed and are being developed scientific conceptions that consider this area of economic activity as «mineralopol'zovanie» or Minerals Husbandry. In the paper analysis results are presented concerning the extent to which interconnected Nature Management or Husbandry spheres are being comprehensively and explicitly dealt with in subject classifications and abstract databases. Among them are Gospodarka Surowcami Mineralnymi journal thematic rubricator and its publications content, on-line abstract database Agricultural Resources Information System (AGRIS), Universal Decimal Classification (UDC), Russian State Rubricator for Scientific and Technical Information (GRNTI), Journal of Economic Literature classification codes (JEL). Advantages and weaknesses of these rubricators and databases with respect to subject areas being considered are specified. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
