Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICPMM491D - Create an extensible document

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Define document structure

  1. All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against the job specifications
  2. The mark-up language version and the character encoding used in the document or declaration statement are defined and/or inserted in the document
  3. An external or internal Document Type Definition (DTD) or mark-up language schema is chosen and correctly wrapped and referenced depending on project requirements
  4. The root element is correctly defined and all elements are accurately nested
  5. Attribute types and default values are declared, where necessary, to provide information about the data
  6. Occurrences of elements are stated and elements of mixed content declared
All details required for the job are checked and confirmed against the job specifications

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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:

ICPMM492D Create an extensible style sheet

ICPPP494C Develop document content and structure

ICPPP485C Create a digital data template.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

OHS in relation to operating machinery such as safely switching off machinery before cleaning is started

communication of ideas and information applied by detailing attribute types and default values

collecting, analysing and organising information by forming an error-free document that conforms to the mark-up language syntax rules

planning and organising activities by defining the document structure prior to confirming validity

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

use of technology by using industry software to create a mark-up language document.

Required knowledge

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.

Range Statement

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.

Mark-up 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.
