Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0.

This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS5037 Maintain spatial data systems.

Application

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to implement a full cycle of maintenance of spatial data, including updating, backup, recovery and archiving. It includes analysing spatial data systems to determine maintenance requirements and constraints; confirming the reliability of spatial data by editing, updating and integrating existing and new spatial data; and problem-solving to test and validate data currency and retrieval and backup systems. The unit also includes the use of computers and software to manage spatial data, create metadata, and apply spatial data input, output and distribution technologies.

This unit is suitable for skilled surveying technicians and skilled spatial information system (SIS) technicians who use a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex surveying/spatial information problems.

Surveying and spatial information skills are applied in a range of industry contexts, including town planning, civil construction, mining, engineering, health, agriculture and defence.  

All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, in accordance with relevant state/territory regulations that govern surveying work, as well as work health and safety (WHS) legislation and regulations that apply to the workplace.

Cadastral surveying must be undertaken under the supervision of a registered surveyor. Users must check with the relevant regulatory state/territory authority before delivery.

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

Assessment requirements

Modification History

Release 1

This version first released with CPP Property Services Training Package Release 12.0.

This unit supersedes and is equivalent to CPPSIS5037 Maintain spatial data systems.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency a candidate must meet the elements and performance criteria of this unit by completing the full cycle of maintenance, updating, backup, recovery and archiving of spatial data systems for two different projects.

While maintaining the above spatial data systems, the candidate must:

  • use spatial data input technologies:
  • digitising
  • scanning
  • remote sensing
  • satellite imagery
  • use spatial data output and distribution technologies:
  • scripting
  • query language
  • macro development
  • graphic interfaces
  • networks
  • remote access.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • legislative requirements for accessing, storing, retrieving and archiving digital and hard copy spatial data, including data privacy, copyright and licensing
  • industry-accepted standards relating to accuracy and precision, error tolerances and metadata
  • types of map projections
  • key features of coordinate reference systems
  • methods for validating test results to identify systematic distortions
  • software that can be used to manage spatial data, create metadata, and apply spatial data input, output and distribution technologies
  • types of spatial data formats
  • query language and graphic interfaces
  • advanced spatial data reduction processes
  • techniques for using spatial data output and distribution technologies
  • types of storage media for a range of spatial data.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting where these skills and knowledge would be performed.

Candidates must have access to:

  • computer with appropriate software
  • hard copy and digital data storage media
  • organisational policies and procedures relating to:
  • work health and safety (WHS)
  • data privacy, copyright and licensing.
