Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop the content meaning and document structure for markup for web page or electronic publishing purposes.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify document requirements
- 1.1. Content meaning and information structure are developed based on the document intent, final media and intended audiences
- 1.2. Information is identified and grouped according to the job brief
- 1.3. Target audience requirements and expectations are determined according to the brief
2. Plan content structure
- 2.1. Information is arranged in related topics and a logical sequence
- 2.2. Content meaning is tested by simulating the generation of new coherent documents based on the original content
- 2.3. A hierarchy of information is developed with data checked to confirm the hierarchy sequence
3. Develop information architecture
- 3.1. An information hierarchy is prepared catering for the physical storage of the files
- 3.2. Search and retrieval mechanisms are prepared for content discovery
- 3.3. An information hierarchy is designed catering for navigation and access between files or groups of content
4. Develop navigation system
- 4.1. High level, local and document navigational systems are built based on information architecture
- 4.2. The design is consistent, intuitive and has a logical labelling system to provide access to various levels and type of content
- 4.3. Labels and indexes are clear, consistent, coherent and relatively intuitive to enable target audience access
5. Design information layout
- 5.1. Templates for textual and graphic elements are developed to facilitate consistent and uniform layout and visual design
- 5.2. An extensible template is linked to the document
6. Test the document
- 6.1. A suite of prototypes for all document levels is developed
- 6.2. The rigour of the information architecture at all levels is tested
- 6.3. Correct functioning and intuitive use of the navigational features are tested for all levels
- 6.4. Visual design and layout are tested at all levels against standard onscreen design principles
- 6.5. Levels of accessibility for people with disabilities are acceptable
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.
Data may include:
includes mixed data and dynamic data.
Accessibility may include:
includes "content discoverability" as well as content availability with regard to people with disabilities.
Markup language may include:
new markup languages are becoming available regularly and examples include XML and PPML. This unit does not cover HTML which is covered by another unit ICAB4135B Create a simple mark-up language document to specification.
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.

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 ability to:
developing information structures for markup, web pages or long document assembly. The document is intuitive for target audience navigation
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
TWO different documents are created and successfully tested
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.
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 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:
ICPMM492C Create an extensible style sheet
ICPPP485C Develop a digital data template.
