ICT705 Data and System Integration Assignment 2
However, they would like to gain a deeper understanding of the technologies behind your
recommendation and have asked for a small specific demonstration of these technologies
along with a brief explanation of the concepts and principles of how it works.
Assignment Task
This assignment consists of two deliverables, being:
• Demonstration code (50%). All code relating to this assignment should be contained within a
folder named: Task 2 – Your Name – Student Number, the folder is then to be zipped and
uploaded to blackboard.
• A report (50%). The report must be uploaded separately.
Important Note: For ease of demonstration, your code must be self-contained. In addition to
using Standards based HTML and Python, PETL, Bottle and Parser are the only additional
frameworks you should need. If you use others they must be provided and not require
installation.
To demonstrate your code, you have been provided with four data sources compiled with
fictitious sample data. These are:
• “Offices.csv” contains the information about the government offices,
• “Office_Locations.csv” contains the location coordinates for each office,
• “Services.xml” contains a list of government office services, and
• “Office_Services.csv” contains a list of offices and the services they offer.
You are to submit a python script named “data_integration.py” which first clean the data then
merge it into one CSV output file named “office_service_locations.csv”.

That is, all phone numbers should have the international code for Australia “(+61)”, followed
by a space, followed by the regional code in two digits, followed by a space, followed by 8
digits of the local phone number. For example, the Brisbane office should be formatted to:
(+61) 07 36728709
Whilst regional codes do not always adhere to state boundaries, you may apply the
following regional codes for each state:
NSW = 02
VIC = 03
QLD = 07
SA = 09

You are required to write a report explaining the theory underlining the key concepts around
the design and implementation of your demonstration system. You are also required to
explain how to run your code. Finally, you are to include all code submitted in the appendices
to the report, note that the code will not count towards the word count.

Referencing
The report is to include (at least 5) appropriate references and these references should follow
the Harvard method of referencing. Note that ALL references should be from journal articles,
conference papers, technical papers or a recognized expert in the field. DO NOT use
Wikipedia as a reference. The use of unqualified references will result in the deduction of
marks.
Assignment Advice
This assignment will take several weeks to complete and will require a good understanding of
application and information integration technologies for successful completion. It is
imperative that students take heed of the following points in relation to doing this assignment:
1. Ensure that you clearly understand the requirements for the assignment – what must be
done and what are the deliverables.
2. If you do not understand any of the assignment requirements – Please ASK your tutor.
3. Each time you work on any aspect of the assignment reread the assignment requirements to
ensure that what is required is clearly understood.
4. Prior to submitting your code, you should ensure not only that it executes as required, but
also looks professional. It is expected that you adhere to HTML and python standards for
naming and indenting. All methods should be adequately documented such that another
programmer examining your code will readily know what the code is doing.
