Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to develop geographic information systems (GIS) to run within the internet and private intranets. It requires the ability to apply wide-ranging specialised technical, creative and conceptual skills, a broad knowledge of spatial datasets and accountability for personal and group outcomes. Functions will entail complying with and developing or amending organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Develop GIS functionality in intranets and the internet.
  • 1.1 Analysis is conducted to determine a user profile and customer expectations for web-based GIS application.1.2 Appropriate GIS functionality is determined according to organisational requirements and project specifications.1.3 Strategies for the development of GIS functionality within client-server networks are determined.
  • 1.4 Suitable metadata, digital image processing techniques and digital image data formats are incorporated in the overall strategies.1.5 OHS issues are considered at all times.1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.
2Develop strategies for providing GIS functionality in the web.
  • 2.1 Strategies for designing a user interface web-based GIS application are developed.2.2 Rationale behind these strategies is incorporated.
3Select a strategy for developing a web-based GIS application.
  • 3.1 From the options presented, a strategy for developing a web-based GIS application is selected.3.2 Rationale for the use of the strategy selected is provided on the basis of project purpose, business and customer expectations, and cost-effectiveness.3.3 Appropriate web design detail is presented to defend the selection of strategy.3.4 Availability of suitable data is verified with the potential suppliers.3.5 Constraints on use of spatial data are assessed against specification.3.6 Potential of the web-based GIS application is maximised by specification of possible software tools and links.
