Abstract
The results of the research on supporting the process of formation of educational programs by processing large volumes of poorly structured texts without re-processing and adapting professional content are presented. In connection with this, the design of educational programs involves the procedure of creating a database of professional competencies based on professional standards, which, in turn, will serve as the foundation for the process of developing and updating educational programs. The subject of the study is the content of professional standards, defined as a set of data characterizing learning outcomes and qualification skills. As a result of the work, the authors have created a formal-structural model of representing elements of professional content in the form of entities connected by structural relations. The obtained base of professional competencies based on professional standards will be the basis for the process of formation and updating of educational programs.
