Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5043A Design a spatial data storage system.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

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.

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions.

1.

Determine spatial data storage requirements.

1.1.

Requirements for spatial data storage are determined in consultation with appropriate persons .

1.2.

Audit of existing spatial data sources is conducted to determine their suitability, useability, dependencies and adaptability in meeting storage requirements.

1.3.

Feasibility of storage requirements is assessed against organisational budget, resources and priorities; and documented according to organisational requirements.

2.

Plan storage system design.

2.1.

Plan is developed based on functional requirements of storage system and detailing spatial data dependencies.

2.2.

Appropriate spatial data storage environment is determined according to data and organisational requirements.

2.3.

Schedule for introducing data storage system is developed and communicated to appropriate persons.

2.4.

Prototype is created and tested, or a standard format adopted, to confirm that design meets functional requirements.

3.

Finalise storage system design.

3.1.

Final design of spatial data storage system is negotiated with appropriate persons according to organisational requirements.

3.2.

Final design is agreed and accepted, and documentation is created according to organisational requirements.

3.3.

End users are canvassed to determine effectiveness of designed spatial data storage system.

3.4.

Feedback is analysed and used to make improvements to storage system according to organisational requirements.

Foundation Skills

This section describes the language, literacy, numeracy and employment skills essential to performance in this unit but not explicit in the performance criteria.

Skill 

Performance feature 

Initiative and enterprise skills to:
  • assess standard storage formats against requirements for a new design.

Numeracy skills to:
  • compare costs of spatial data storage systems against organisational budget and resource allocations.

Reading skills to:
  • interpret graphical information obtained from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and GIS.

Writing skills to:
  • record details of quality improvements.

Technology skills to:
  • use a range of software applications to access and store data
  • use querying commands to obtain information from a database.

Problem-solving skills to:
  • identify storage solutions appropriate to different types of spatial data.

Range of Conditions

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Appropriate persons  must include at least two of the following:
  • client
  • end user
  • manager
  • spatial data supplier
  • staff.

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5043A Design a spatial data storage system.

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Version 3.

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.

Assessment Conditions

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.
