Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Determine spatial data storage requirements.
  2. Plan storage system design.
  3. Finalise storage system design.

Performance Evidence

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.


Knowledge Evidence

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

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

accessing, recording and storing data

communicating with clients and end users

completing documentation

working within budget and resource constraints and priorities

querying and browsing techniques for obtaining information from databases

spatial data classification and indexing systems

spatial data formats

key features of spatial reference systems

types of storage media for a range of spatial data, including Cloud technology.
