Unit of Competency CPPSIS5043 - Design spatial data storage systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to design spatial data storage systems to meet client requirements. The unit covers analysing client needs and storage requirements and assessing the feasibility of those requirements against organisational budgets, resources and priorities. It also covers planning the system design; scheduling development; and creating and testing prototypes where standard formats are unsuitable. The unit requires the ability to negotiate storage requirements and design solutions; and to seek agreement on the final design, as well as feedback from end users, as the basis for implementing improvements to the storage system. The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, town planning, cartography, mapping and geographic information systems (GIS).No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

The following must be present and available to learners during assessment activities:

equipment:

data retrieval equipment

computer with software appropriate for spatial data storage and retrieval

hard copy and digital data storage media

specifications:

organisational policies and procedures relating to:

work health and safety

data privacy and information copyright

physical conditions:

access to equipped work station

relationships with team members and supervisor:

working in a team.

Timeframe:

as specified by task and organisational requirements.

Assessor requirements

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy the assessor requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) current at the time of assessment.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine spatial data storage requirements.
  • Requirements for spatial data storage are determined in consultation with appropriate persons.
  • Audit of existing spatial data sources is conducted to determine their suitability, useability, dependencies and adaptability in meeting storage requirements.
  • Feasibility of storage requirements is assessed against organisational budget, resources and priorities; and documented according to organisational requirements.
       
Element: Plan storage system design.
  • Plan is developed based on functional requirements of storage system and detailing spatial data dependencies.
  • Appropriate spatial data storage environment is determined according to data and organisational requirements.
  • Schedule for introducing data storage system is developed and communicated to appropriate persons.
  • Prototype is created and tested, or a standard format adopted, to confirm that design meets functional requirements.
       
Element: Finalise storage system design.
  • Final design of spatial data storage system is negotiated with appropriate persons according to organisational requirements.
  • Final design is agreed and accepted, and documentation is created according to organisational requirements.
  • End users are canvassed to determine effectiveness of designed spatial data storage system.
  • 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

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.
