The article presents an approach to developing a constructor of information knowledge portals based on an ontological description of information. The applied methodology is for constructing knowledge portals based on basic ontologies and ontological design patterns. The constructor of knowledge portals should provide end-to-end technology for creating and filling a specialized Internet resource, as well as a number of intelligent services, such as an ontology editor for modeling the subject area and uploaded resources, a tool for semantic markup of texts based on a ontology and a customizable interface. The peculiarity of the proposed approach is a) the use of basic ontologies of the scientific subject area and resources as a foundation for developing specialized ontologies, b) the use of ontologies to implement the key functionality of the software associated with setting up data visualization, navigation and intelligent search on the target resource, c) putting focus on specialists who do not have experience in programming or web development. This paper proposes a formal model of a constructor of information portals and a model of an information resource created using this designer, and describes important technical solutions to support the end-to-end technology. The created basic components of the technology are demonstrated using the example of creating a simple information system.
