Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to investigate and determine suitable sources of information for the creation of new spatial datasets. It requires the ability to apply wide-ranging specialised technical, creative and conceptual skills. It also requires a broad knowledge of spatial datasets and accountability for personal and group outcomes. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Identify potential sources of spatial data.
- 1.1 Extent, content, intended use, accuracy, precision and format of required spatial datasets are clearly identified from the specifications provided by the suppliers of spatial data.
- 1.2 A search is undertaken via a range of media to identify sources of information.1.3 Metadata for potential spatial datasets is obtained to assist in determining the most appropriate spatial data source.1.4 All potential sources of spatial data are listed according to organisational guidelines.1.5 OHS issues are considered at all times.1.6 Skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in operating environment and equipment.
2Assess spatial data availability and suitability.
- 2.1 Spatial datasets are assessed for suitability against the specifications.2.2 Availability of suitable data is verified with potential suppliers.2.3 Constraints on the use of spatial data are assessed against specifications.2.4 Sample data is obtained and assessed to further ensure its suitability, where required.2.5 Maintenance requirements are determined to ensure currency.
3Document spatial data assessment.
- 3.1 A written assessment of data availability including cost, licensing conditions and constraints on use is completed according to organisational guidelines.3.2 A written assessment of the suitability of available data, including comparison with quality, accuracy, standards and format requirements is completed according to organisational guidelines.
