[Year 12 IT Apps] Clarification please

[Christophersen, Paula P]

What follows a colon is mandatory. A colon is used in the current study
design, for example, Software development, unit 4, page 43 KK 'stages of
software development: analysis, design, development ...' A colon
indicates that what follows is the complete set, rather than what
follows is a selection from a wider list.

We know that in key knowledge dotpoints, "for example" means the
following items are only illustrative, but "including" mandates
knowledge of the following points.
But in the new study design there is a new, undocumented wrinkle... one
(and only one) key knowledge dotpoint uses a mysteriously suggestive
colon...

(ITA U3O2 KK10) "- a methodology for creating an RDBMS structure:
identifying tables and fields; normalising tables, defining data types
and field sizes, identifying primary key and foreign key fields"

Does that colon signify "for example" or "including"?
