Create an extensible document

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit requires the individual to create an extensible markup language (XML/PPML) document for content publishing that is well-formed, free of errors, meets the needs of the business and is extensible to meet future business needs. For this unit the extensible mark-up language document is the data-store and ICPMM492C Create an extensible style sheet transforms the XML/PPML into screen or print output.

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to create a well-formed syntax error-free extensible mark-up language document.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Prerequisites

ICAB4135B Create a simple mark-up language document to specification


Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.




Evidence Required

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.

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Evidence of the following is essential:

create content that is well-formed, free of errors, meets the needs of the business and is extensible to meet future business needs. The XML/PPML file can be parsed and validates

two different extensible mark-up language documents are created and are well-formed, free of errors, meet the needs of the business and are extensible to meet future business needs. Both the XML/PPML files can be parsed and validate

evidence for assessment may be gathered from assessment of the unit of competency alone or through an integrated assessment activity.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure:

assessment may take place on the job, off the job or a combination of these. Off the job assessment must be undertaken in a closely simulated workplace environment

a standalone computer and mark-up language parser.

Method of assessment

The following assessment method is appropriate for this unit:

direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.

Guidance information for assessment

Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:

ICPMM492C Create an extensible style sheet

ICPPP494C Develop document content and structure

ICPPP485C Create a digital data template.


Submission Requirements

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

teamwork when maintaining the production process in association with others

mathematical ideas and techniques by detailing attribute types and default values

problem-solving skills by developing a mark-up language document free of errors

Required knowledge

SGML

standard Generalised Mark-up Language and why it is important

how SGML relates to XML and PPML

difference between SGML, PPML and XML and when you use SGML over XML

XSL

how Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XSL differ

purpose of XSL is

HTML

when to use an extensible mark-up language over HTML and why

ways to use both with the one set of data

metadata

purpose metadata serves within a mark-up language document

importance of PRISM for content publishing

PPML

how Personalised Print Mark-up Language relates to XML

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Markup language may include

new languages mark-up languages include:

XML

PPML.

Document may include:

contains elements, entity references, comments, processing instructions, marked sections and document type definition or mark-up language schema.

Data may include:

includes mixed data.

PPML may include:

personalised Print Mark-up Language.

Document purpose may include:

electronic publishing, e-commerce, web services, interchange of data amongst different applications, software configuration files.

Electronic Publishing may include:

electronic publishing in this context does not mean the use of page layout applications but rather the development of content to meet the needs of different audiences and different output devices.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
