Description
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to work with the cycle of spatial data maintenance, including updating, backing up, recovering and archiving complex data. It requires the ability to apply theoretical spatial concepts to a range of situations in order to maintain complex spatial data systems, often in a supervisory capacity. Functions would be carried out within organisational guidelines.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Determine data maintenance requirements.
- 1.1 Objectives, complex spatial data requirements and constraints are defined and documented according to written spatial specifications and client requirements.1.2 Details of maintenance techniques to be used are considered and evaluated according to organisational guidelines.
- 1.3 Data design is interpreted to identify spatial datacomponents to be maintained.1.4 OHS and legislative requirements are adhered to.1.5 Pertinent legal and statutorystandards are considered and adhered to.1.6 Work is allocated to appropriate personnel and supervisory processes, checks and measures are implemented to ensure work is completed within time available.1.7 Team skills and knowledge are updated to accommodate changes in complex data systems.
2Confirm reliability of the spatial data.
- 2.1 Arrangements are put in place to access spatial data updates to ensure currency and relevance.2.2 Spatial data is checked and edited to ensure it is in acceptable format.2.3 Spatial data is reviewed for compatibility and to ensure it meets specifications.2.4 Updates are recorded according to organisational guidelines.2.5 Integrity and consistency of data is maintained.
3Replace data.
- 3.1 Arrangements are put in place to amend spatial data and replace it as changes are identified and according to organisational requirements.3.2 Existing data is adjusted to integrate with new data as appropriate.3.3 Spatial datasets are tested and validated to ensure integrity and quality.3.4 Documentation is amended and updated according to organisational standards.
4Carry out data backup and recovery.
- 4.1 Arrangements are made for data backups to be implemented to ensure copies of data are accessible in contingency situations.4.2 Backup system is tested to ensure it can be retrieved.
5Archive data.
- 5.1 Spatial dataset to be archived is manipulated where necessary to ensure completeness.5.2 Metadata is created according to accepted industry standards.
- 5.3 New and existing spatial data is stored in a secure environment and according to organisational guidelines.5.4 Archival details are recorded according to organisational guidelines.
