List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Determine spatial data storage requirements. | 1.1. | Requirements for spatial data storage are determined in consultation with appropriate persons. |
| 1.2. | Audit of existing spatial data sources is conducted to determine their suitability, useability, dependencies and adaptability in meeting storage requirements. |
| 1.3. | Feasibility of storage requirements is assessed against organisational budget, resources and priorities; and documented according to organisational requirements. |
| | | |
2. | Plan storage system design. | 2.1. | Plan is developed based on functional requirements of storage system and detailing spatial data dependencies. |
| 2.2. | Appropriate spatial data storage environment is determined according to data and organisational requirements. |
| 2.3. | Schedule for introducing data storage system is developed and communicated to appropriate persons. |
| 2.4. | Prototype is created and tested, or a standard format adopted, to confirm that design meets functional requirements. |
| | | |
3. | Finalise storage system design. | 3.1. | Final design of spatial data storage system is negotiated with appropriate persons according to organisational requirements. |
| 3.2. | Final design is agreed and accepted, and documentation is created according to organisational requirements. |
| 3.3. | End users are canvassed to determine effectiveness of designed spatial data storage system. |
| 3.4. | Feedback is analysed and used to make improvements to storage system according to organisational requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit. The person must also design spatial data storage systems for two different clients.
While designing the above spatial data storage systems, the person must:
negotiate with end users regarding spatial data storage requirements and design
plan the system design, including assessing available formats and storage requirements
assess existing spatial data sources to determine their capacity to meet user storage requirements based on suitability, useability, dependencies and adaptability
assess the feasibility of storage options based on organisational budget, resources and priorities
comply with administrative and legal requirements for storing and retrieving spatial data, including data privacy and information copyright
comply with organisational requirements for recording data, completing documentation, and using the equipment specified in the assessment conditions
test design prototypes to confirm that they meet functional requirements
obtain feedback from end users on final storage system.
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must demonstrate knowledge of:
administrative and legal requirements for storing and retrieving digital and hard copy spatial data, including data privacy and information copyright
data storage and retrieval methods
