The process of Web - integration in the field of analytical chemistry in Russia initiated by scientific council on analytical chemistry implies development of the correspondent information portal. The task of the portal is to unify both the national and International Internet-resources in the field of analytical chemistry which now are presented in numerous sites supported by different organizations, universities and scientific societies [].
The developed conception of the enterprise information portal (EIP) was formulated by the experts by Delphi Group [, ], which highlighted that the basic component of portal is searching system.
The conception of the constructing portal “Analytical Chemistry in Russia” is based on the development of architecture and software of specialized information searching system (machine) of the second level (ISMSL) for the automated supporting of the indexed database containing Internet resources in the field of analytical chemistry. The developing ISMSL should be able to support two main tasks: 
•	effectively process searching results of various primary searching machines (domestic and abroad) to be able to isolate and to index information dealing with different aspects of analytical chemistry (researches, education, data, etc.), loading of the obtained information into SQL-data base to support customers queries,
•	automatically update information in the data base to ensure its accuracy and completeness in time. It is assumed application of expert system for 
As well as the other machines, the developing ISMSL contains two basic components: 
•	a server component which represents the program process for automatic information indexing, ranking and its loading into database,
•	a client component, which interacts with user (analysis of query forms, retrieving information from data base and formation of reports using the program technology of active server pages (ASP, ASP+). 
The principal structure of the portal on analytical chemistry has been developed recently (excepting searching engine) and published in the form of CD-ROM []. The first release of the portal has been published in Internet on April, 2001 []. Now the prototype of the portal contains a lot of useful information and includes few daughter sites, such as site of Russian Journal of Analytical Chemistry, site of Scientific Council on Analytical Chemistry, sites of some other organizations adhering the Council.
