Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to analyse material and assign meta-tags to ensure the accurate and consistent retrieval of information by users.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify requirements for meta-tags
  • 1.1 Identify scope and uses of material from previous and existing business and stakeholder requirements process
  • 1.2 Determine appropriate type and structure of meta-tags, taking into account identified client needs, requirements and expectations
  • 1.3 Identify and incorporate new or contemporary client requirements and expectations
2. Analyse material
  • 2.1 Use analysis and description tools, standards, precedents and techniques that are appropriate, given the nature of the material
  • 2.2 Ensure analysis of subject content of the material reflects expected client usage requirements
  • 2.3 Clearly distinguish significant information from minor information
  • 2.4 Ensure concepts derived from analysis of material are appropriate to the business requirements and intended use
3. Create meta-tags
  • 3.1 Develop meta-tags using appropriate software
  • 3.2 Ensure meta-tags represent concepts appropriately, depending on the overall purpose and intended use of the material
  • 3.3 Ensure meta-tags conform to general conventions and business rules
  • 3.4 Develop reference structure of descriptors, where required to display relationships to assist clients
  • 3.5 Enhance meta-tags to meet identified client needs
4. Test and monitor meta-tagging practices and procedures
  • 4.1 Test meta-tagging of material and make changes, if necessary
  • 4.2 Regularly review meta-tagging practices and procedures to ensure that client needs are being met
  • 4.3 Regularly review industry developments in meta-tagging and take appropriate action to improve practices
  • 4.4 Check meta-tags regularly for internal consistency and compliance with established structure, rules and authorities

Overview of assessment

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
use appropriate techniques to analyse materials for meta-tagging
use software to create meta-tags
enhance and update meta-tags in line with client needs and industry developments.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
information and materials
business requirements
metadata software
project-related documentation
OHS information
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of candidate creating meta-tags, and testing them
verbal or written questioning to assess candidate’s knowledge of:
general conventions and business rules for meta-tagging
how reference structure of descriptors can assist clients
review of meta-tags.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
