International experience of indicators' calculation of thematic linkages between science and technology is analyzed. The purpose of the analysis is to develop creation principles of information systems for calculating indicators of linkages with an allowance for structure of inherited scientific and patent information resources, which have been historically formed in Russia. This type of information systems is new to the Russian scientific and technical sphere.
