List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1 Define document structure | 1.1 All details required for job are checked and confirmed against job specifications 1.2 Mark-up language version and character encoding used in document or declaration statement are defined and/or inserted in document 1.3 External or internal Document Type Definition (DTD) or mark-up language schema is chosen and correctly wrapped and referenced depending on project requirements 1.4 Root element is correctly defined and all elements are accurately nested 1.5 Attribute types and default values are declared, where necessary, to provide information about data 1.6 Occurrences of elements are stated and elements of mixed content declared |
2 Confirm validity | 2.1 Start and end tags are included and closed to ensure no element errors 2.2 Namespaces are used to resolve name conflicts 2.3 Checks are performed to ensure that document is well-formed, error-free and conforms to mark-up language syntax rules 2.4 Document is checked to ensure it conforms to rules of DTD or mark-up language schema |
3 Finalise and test document | 3.1 Character Data (CDATA) sections are added to document structure 3.2 Final document is viewed with mark-up language parser 3.3 Mark-up language document is well formed, free of errors and meets needs of business 3.4 Document is linked to extensible style sheet and template, and tested 3.5 Document is made extensible to meet future business needs |
Evidence of the ability to:
produce TWO Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) documents that are well-formed, free of errors and meet the job specifications
validate and parse both XML files
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
explain what a Standard Generalised Mark-up Language (SGML) is and what is used for
explain how SGML relates to XML and Personalised Print Mark-up Language (PPML)
explain the differences between SGML, PPML and XML and when to use SGML over XML
describe how Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) differ
explain the purpose of XSL
explain when to use XML over Hyper Text Mark-up Language( HTML) and why
explain how PPML relates to XML
outline ways to use XML and HTML with the one set of data
explain the purpose of metadata within a mark-up language document.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the digital media technologies field of work and include access to a standalone computer and mark-up language parser.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
