Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare for display of GIS data.
   • Display specifications are determined in consultation with appropriate persons.
   • Extent, content and intended use of output are assessed, and display format and medium are selected according to organisational requirements.
   • Hardware, software and other equipment are set up and checked to ensure correct operation and functionality, and that compliance requirements are met.
2. Format GIS data.
   • Spatial datasets are accessed and compiled to meet display specifications.
   • Data formats are transformed to meet specifications.
   • Formatted data is checked to ensure compatibility and quality according to display specifications.
3. Display GIS data.
   • Spatial data is presented according to display specifications and organisational requirements.
   • Feedback on display is obtained from appropriate persons using simple question and answer process.
   • Feedback is analysed to identify improvements, and display is rectified according to organisational requirements.
