Modification History

Release 1.

Replaces superseded equivalent CPPSIS5036A Integrate spatial datasets.

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

Application

This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to use technology and software applications to integrate spatial datasets for the purpose of providing spatially referenced information. The unit covers obtaining spatial and attribute data, creating datasets, and linking spatial and attribute data to meet client specifications for spatial data solutions. The unit also covers analysing and compiling metadata sets, assessing geographic coverage, establishing filtering parameters, and checking and validating the accuracy and integrity of data. The unit requires the ability to consult with appropriate persons to define project requirements and report outcomes, and use database querying operations and techniques.

The unit supports those who work in a lead role in a surveying or spatial information services team in areas such as surveying, cartography, town planning, mapping or geographic information systems (GIS).

No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit of competency at the time of endorsement.

  • comply with organisational requirements while:
  • communicating with clients and other appropriate persons
  • ensuring quality of datasets
  • recording data and completing documentation
  • working safely when using screen-based equipment
  • comply with legal requirements relating to data privacy and information copyright when accessing and using spatial data
  • devise and implement functional solutions to spatial datasets
  • exercise precision when editing, processing, comparing, manipulating and archiving spatial data
  • perform querying techniques to access attribute data and test and validate spatial data
  • prepare exception reports to identify non-conforming data
  • reference and link the location of attribute data
