Abstract
The project report was undertaken in order to learn and use systems and standards for
Parliamentary documents. Systems for managing documentation in digital formats can make
Parliamentary operations efficient and help increase the transparency of the institution. These
systems are evolving to encompass the entire lifecycle of documents from creation through
management, dissemination, and long term preservation. Within these phases documents may be
edited and amended by various “authors”; exchanged with different organizations and systems;
transformed, for purposes such as searching; validated and certified via digital signatures;
rendered in various modes, including printing on paper and online displays; and integrated with
other documents.. In particular, it is suggested from the researcher and the main goal is to
streamline the flow of information in the Parliament of Uganda through the design and
implementation of a Document Repository, a web portal and Workflow system for the
Parliament of Uganda.
This report describes the features of a document repository and work flow systems that are used
around the world, the technical information relating to the project, the methodology that the
developer used, the functional and non functional requirements, the features of the new system,
the implementation of the system and finally the testing that was used.
This project was extremely helpful for the programmer because it gave him the opportunity to
learn a software development tool and to consider a software product from the legal point of
view.
