Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to develop an information resource for the placement of qualification papers
of students of the Department of Education and Research. The research methodology is based on the methods of
analysis and synthesis, as well as on the use of informational, system-structural, and functional approaches. The
scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of informational and functional models of the process of
creating an online library of qualifying works of students of the SCIA department. Conclusions. A goal tree has
been developed, the general purpose of which is to create an online library of qualifying works of students of
the SCIA department. In order to achieve the set goal, a division was made into three first-level goals, which in
turn are divided into smaller goals and sub-goals, each of which has an individual means of achieving the goal.
An information model of the problem was built in Peter-Chen notation, which contains 6 entities related to each
other with connections. The notation presents the “Supervisor” (as the student’s mentor), who manages the
“Student” (the author of the qualification work). “Student” performs “QW” (study carried out by the student),
which is reviewed by “Reviewer” (critic of qualification work). “QW” is contained in the “Online Library” (website
of qualifying papers), which is visited by the “User” (interested person). A functional model of the given task is
provided in the form of context diagrams and detailed processes. The first context diagram shows the process of
“Filling the online library of the QW” and four external entities: “Secretary of the examination board”, “Manager”,
“Reviewer” and “Student”. The second context diagram shows the process “Organisation of the work of the online
library” and two external entities: “Administrator” and “User”. Three systems for managing site content are
considered, namely: Drupal, Joomla and WordPress. After a detailed analysis of each CMS, WordPress was chosen
as the ideal solution for the task, due to its simplicity, flexibility, and the ease of use and management.
