Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Prepare to integrate surveying datasets.
   • Project specifications are identified in consultation with appropriate persons.
   • Measured datasets are imported or downloaded into a processing package according to project specifications.
   • Measurements are checked, validated and recorded according to project specifications.
   • Data is edited according to project specifications and organisational requirements.
2. Process surveying datasets.
   • Measured data is processed for comparison with dataset design using a processing package.
   • Measurements are validated and recorded according to project specifications.
   • Checks on integrated data are completed, and problems are identified and resolved or contingencies managed, according to organisational requirements.
3. Finalise surveying dataset integration.
   • Documentation is promptly and accurately completed according to organisational requirements.
   • Appropriate persons are informed of results of dataset integration according to organisational requirements.
   • Data is archived according to project specifications and organisational requirements.
