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!

ICPPRP485 - Develop a digital data template

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

Identify content requirements

  1. Data purpose is identified from job requirements and clarified with client
  2. Data file format and type of database are identified
  3. Layout is determined from job requirements and confirmed with client
  4. Static and variable areas are identified according to job specifications
  5. Accuracy of data is confirmed and signed off as such by client
  6. Requirement for additional software integration is determined, such as postal software

Develop template

  1. Fields are created and named consistently to reduce errors
  2. Copy holes and data are marked-up to match job specifications
  3. Report for the printer is developed which identifies relevant data assigned to each copy hole according to job specifications and business rules
  4. Copy holes are assigned and related information documented for printer to understand the connection to the data
  5. Correct number of fields is available for the job
  6. Template is signed off as suitable by client

Finalise and test template

  1. Business rules are tested and if possible a soft proof is reviewed
  2. Final document is viewed with a markup language parser
  3. Spot colours are converted to process colours where necessary
  4. Template is well-formed, error-free and meets client needs
  5. Template is extensible to meet future client needs
  6. Template is finalised and made ready to send to the press
Business rules are tested and if possible a soft proof is reviewed

Evidence of the ability to:

identify correct data requirements and develop and mark up the structure of a digital template for variable digital printing that is error-free in the soft proof and meets client requirements, job specifications and performance criteria

find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

explain Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML) and why it is important

explain the relationship of SGML to Extensible Markup Language (XML) and Personalised Print Markup Language (PPML)

outline the difference between SGML, PPML and XML and the use of SGML
over XML

outline the difference between Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Extensible Stylesheet Language XSL

state the intended purpose of XSL

identify ways an extensible markup language can be used over HyperText Markup Language (HTML), and ways to use both with one set of data

outline purposes of meta data within markup language documents

explain why PRISM is important for content publishing
