Abstract

The ontology of the taxonomy "European Skills, Competences, qualifications and Occupations". The ontology considers three ESCO pillars (or taxonomy) and 2 registers. The three pillars are: - Occupation - Skill (and competences) - Qualification For the construction and use of the ESCO pillars, the following modelling artefacts are used: - SKOS mapping properties to relate ESCO pillar concepts to concepts in other (external) taxonomies (e.g. ISCED-FoET and ISCO08. More mappings can be added in the future.) - Tagging ESCO pillar concepts by other (external) taxonomies (NUTS, EQF, NACE, ...), these taggings are defined using ESCO structures - Capture gender specifics on the labels of the ESCO pillar concepts - Rich ESCO concept relationships holding a description and other specific characteristics of the relation between two ESCO pillar concepts. ESCO maintains two additional registers: - Awarding Body - Work Context Awarding Bodies typically are referenced by ESCO qualifications. Occupations can have one or more work context.

ESCO Conceptc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#Concept

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
The class of ESCO pillar concepts. ESCO pillar concepts are divided in tree semantic classes: esco:Occupation, esco:Skill and esco:Qualification, each organized in a dedicated ConceptScheme. All concepts are specializations of skos:Concept and are structured using the skos semantic relationships. - skos:mappingRelation is used to relate ESCO concepts to similar concepts in other concept schemes (e.g. ISCO-08 or ROME). The mapping to ISCO has particular business relevance and uses a special mapping sub-property (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#Occupation and http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#memberOfISCOGroup). - sub-properties of skos:related are used to express special relations among ESCO pillar concepts. (e.g. http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#isEssentialSkillFor) - sub-properties of the DCMI terms:subject capture codified characteristics of ESCO concepts (e.g. http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasNACECode, http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#skillType). The skos:broader and skos:narrower concepts are the prime concepts organizing hierarchy among ESCO pillar concepts. The hierarchical structure is modelled according three classes - esco:GroupConcept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#GroupConcept) - the top level concepts, only used for strucutring. These concepts typically are not relevant for annotating CV or job postings. - esco:LeafGroupConcept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#LeafGroupConcept) - the lowest top level concept, a special esco:GroupConcept. - esco:MemberConccept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#MemberConcept) - the concepts used for coding or annotating CV and Job Postings. The ESCO concepts are also divided according their analytical structure. There are two sub-classes: - simple concepts (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#SimpleConcept) and - compound concepts (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#FacetedConcept). A concept specialized by faceted concepts holds the labels of each of the faceted concepts in the property http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#plusUF. These labels are not synonyms or alternate labels. Among hierarchical related ESCO pillar concepts the following inheritance rules apply - the ESCO relationships from any broader transitive concept are inherited with the following restrictions in case a relationship with the same skill is typed as well essential as optional, only the essential skill relationship is inherited in case a relationship with the same qualification is typed as well required as legally required, only the legally required qualification relationship is inherited - the occasional tagging of the faceted concept (with NUTS, NACE, FoET, ISCO, SkillType, SkillReuseLevel ... codes) must be equal or more specific (specialized) than the code of any of its broader transitive ESCO concepts. The ESCO concepts are specializations of skos:Concepts and use skos:note specializations (see http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#note). - the skos:definition gives the full description of the ESCO concept. - the skos:scopeNote is the practical instruction for when to apply the ESCO concept. - the skos:historyNote gives a system log of significant versioned changes to the ESCO concept. - the skos:changeNote gives the human provided documentation for ESCO concept version modifications. Characteristics: - At the time of publication, the ESCO concepts are available in Icelandic and the official languages of the European Union, except Irish. Per release, actual languages covered are provided by esco:supportedLanguage. Some concepts are originally developped in a reference language. This particular language is indicated by http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#referenceLanguage, - Any ESCO concept may refer relevant hyperlinked sources of reference or of information. See http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#relevantURL. Each ESCO pillar concept may hold provenance and audit metadata: - rightsHolder: the owner (http://purl.org/dc/terms/rightsHolder) - optional - editorial status (http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#editorialStatus) - required - publishing status (http://purl.org/iso25964/skos-thes#status) - required - creator : the author (http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator) - optional - contributor : modifier (http://purl.org/dc/terms/contributor) - required - modified : last modification date (http://purl.org/dc/terms/modified) - required

IRI: http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#SectorBreakDownConcept

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
A sector breakdown concept can be used in the Occupation and in the Skill/Competences pillar to organize navigation. As such, it may be related (or characterize) a group of occupations as well as a group of skills. It is not an industry sector, but it may be tagged with NACE codes. This notion is specifically used for organizing the ESCO thesaurus creation (cfr. ESCO v1 methdology and SREF groups).

Facet concept groupc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#FacetConceptGroup

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
A Facet concept group (i.e. an instance of the class esco:FacetConceptGroup) is a sub-set of concepts from a facet. A facet is a supporting taxonomy for ESCO. Examples are: - Languages - Species - Tools An (instance of the) esco:FacetConceptGroup is a sub-set of concepts from a facet. Each esco:FacetConceptGroup is defined by the ESCO concept scheme http://data.europa.eu/esco/ConceptScheme/FacetConceptGroups. The typical use of an esco:FacetConceptGroup is to specialize one or more ESCO pillar concepts. (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#facet). The specialization creates narrower (or transitive narrower) concepts of the specialized ESCO pillar concept. Each specialization is a Faceted (or compound) concept (with type http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#FacetedConcept) having as component concepts: - the ESCO pillar object being specialized and - one member concept from the facet group. An ESCO pillar concept is either an esco:SimpleConcept or an esco:FacetedConcept An ESCO concept can be specialized in different ways using different Facet concept groups The Facet concept group may be structured: - members of an esco:FacetConceptGroup can have hierarchical relationships (skos:broader and skos:narrower) among its member concepts. If this is the case, the hierarchical structure among the specialized concepts constructed with this facet group will mirror the hierarchy of the facet group. See also skos:topMember. - an esco:FacetConceptGroup can be an oredered collection. In this case, the order among the spicialized concepts constructed with this facet group will mirror the order of the facet group. - an esco:FacetConceptGroup can have different sub-collections (i.e. have skos:member that are a skos:Collection and an iso-thes:ThesaurusArray). Collections only serve to organize the constructed faceted concepts such that the faceted concepts that are specializations based on the structured Facet concept group are organized by thesaurus arrays that each mirror an original thesaurus array of the Facet concept group. Example: the language FacetConceptGroup can have as members - the (possibly ordered) collection of spoken languages having as members the language concepts - the (possibly ordered) collection of sign languages having as members the sign language concepts The name of the facet group is given by skos:prefLabel

Faceted ESCO conceptc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#FacetedConcept

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
The class of compound ESCO pillar concepts. A compound concept is a concept that is broken down in a set of mare basic component concepts (e.g. a pianist is a 'musician' performing on a 'piano') An ESCO concept is either a faceted concept or a simple concept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#SimpleConcept). An ESCO faceted (or compound) concept is the specialization of an ESCO concept that identifies one or more specialization facets (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#facet). A specializing facet is a group of concepts with a common characteristic (e.g. the group of music instruments). The specialization makes a compound of the ESCO concept and of one concept of each of its related specializing facets. - During the editorial phase, one or more faceted concepts may be created ad hoc by the ESCO taxonomists. - During the ESCO publishing phase all possible faceted concepts are generated by the publication process. The process adds the possible compound conepts that were not created by the (human) taxonomist. - Each faceted concept is the specialization (i.e. the skos:narrowerTransitive) of an ESCO simple concept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#constructedFrom) - All facet componets (i.e. the facet values) of the faceted conept are given by the property http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasFacet Uniqueness rule: Two instances of esco:FacetedConcept are the same if and only if both instances - refer the same simple ESCO concept using http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#constructedFrom - refer the same set of components (facet values) using http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasFacet The faceted concept inherits certain characteristics from the Simple Concept it is constructed from: - the ESCO pillar type (Occupation, Skill or Qualification) of its simple concept it is constructed from (see esco:constructedFrom). - the memberOfISCOGroup of the occasional Occupation it is constructed from - the skillType and the skillReuseLevel of the occasional Skill it is constructed from Further, inheritance rules apply as on ESCO concepts (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#Concept).

Concepts of this type are aggregations. The property http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasGroupMember gives the members concepts of the group. The member concepts have type http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#MemberConcept. These member concepts are skos:narrowerTransitive spcializations of the group concept. Among GroupConcept, the skos:broader/skos:narrower is like a super-group/sub-group relation meaning that all members of the (narrower) sub-group also are members of the (broader) super-group. Typically these group concepts are NOT used in CV or job postings, but serve organization, reporting and statiscal purposes. The member concepts of group concepts are used for coding or annotating CV or job postings. A Group concept typically will be - in the upper levels of an ESCO pillar (or concept schema) - in an external concept schema (e.g. ISCO)

The class of ESCO Occupation concepts. An Occuaption is an ESCO pillar concept (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#MemberConcept). Characteristics of an Occupation: - The relevant industry sector for an occupation is given by the Eurostat NACE codes (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasNACECode) - The different Work context applicable for an occupation (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasWorkContext). An occupation may be related to - esco:Skill (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#relatedEssentialSkill and http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#relatedOptionalSkill) - esco:Qualification (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#AssociationObject) Occupations having a legal or other regulations in a specific region - must identify these regulations in the occupation definition (and refer the professional DB stating that regulation - e.g. http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/qualifications/regprof/index.cfm?action=profession&id_profession=12142) - could identify such a region with the location property (see http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#location) ESCO Occupations are maintained in the ESCO concept scheme http://data.europa.eu/esco/ConceptScheme/ESCO_Occupations.

The unique (simple) ESCO concept used to construct the (subject) faceted ESCO concept. Example (started): Simple concept Teacher is specialized to identify teacher at different education levels. - The simple (member) occupation is: "Teacher" - Assume we have a classification of the levels of education (e.g. "primary school", "high school", "university") - The constructed faceted (member) concepts that will be: "primary school teacher", "high school teacher" and "university teacher" (this last one occasionally re-labeled as "university professor") - Each of the constructed faceted (member) concepts will indicate the "teacher" also as a skos:broader concept. - Each of the constructed faceted (member) concepts will indicate the "teacher" as the esco:constructedFrom concept. Example (completed): Nesting facets - Teacher of a subject at a school level - Assume we have a classification of subjects of education (e.g. "mother tongue", "mathematics", "theorethical quantum mechanics"). Two facet groups are created for this facet (education subject): 1) Facet Group: Basic Education Subjects (with "mother tongue", "mathematics") 2) Facet Group: Advanced Education Subjects (with "mother tongue", "mathematics", "theorethical quantum mechanics") - The faceted concepts of the 'started' part of the example ("primary school teacher", "high school teacher", "university teacher") can be further specialized with the 'Basic Education Subjects' or 'Advanced Education Subjects'. - The resulting constructed facets can be "high school teacher mathematics", "university teacher mathematics", "university teacher theorethical quantum mechanics", ... - The skos:broader for the new faceted concepts are: 1) for "university teacher mathematics" and for "university teacher theorethical quantum mechanics" : "university teacher" 2) for "high school teacher mathematics" : "high school teacher" 3) ... - Each of these (more) specialized faceted concepts all have the (simple) ESCO occupation "Teacher" as value for esco:constructedFrom

IRI: http://data.europa.eu/esco/model#hasDivisionCharacteristic

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
The ESCO facet group the thesaurus array is being built from. When an ESCO concept is specialized by a facet group, the ESCO thesaurus introduces that set (or branch) of specializations with a Thesaurus.Array. Example: The occupation "Teacher" can be specialized by 'education level' or by 'education subject'. At concept development time this is typically specified with respective esco:facet properties, one identifying the facet-group for education level, anoher identifying the facet-group holding the instructed subject areas. At concept publication time, each specializing facet will be represented as an iso-thes:ThesaurusArray having as members the (compound) faceted concepts. For each ESCO thesaurus array this property (esco:hasDivisionCharacteristic) recalls the FacetGroup it was created for. Note: Complementary to esco:hasDivisionCharacteristic the iso-thes:superOrdinate identifies the ESCO member concept used to create the faceted concepts that are members of the thesaurus array.

An xml literal taking a plain text or xhtml.body.type content type. The property typically allows to validate the content of a SKOS note (or any of its SKOS sub-properties). Notes are then provided as blank nodes with this property and with the ESCO language property. The motivations for this complex approach are: - Provides structure content (XML literal) according a format that can be validated. - xml:lang and rdf:parseType="Literal" can not be provided on the same property.

is defined by
http://data.europa.eu/esco/model
The facet concept group, a group of concepts used to expand: - the subject (ESCO) concept or - all the members concepts of the subject Collection to build ESCO (compound) faceted concepts. An ESCO concept may have different aspects or facets that can specialize the ESCO concept. A well known example is the (foreign) language skills. - the main aspect of the (foreign) language skill is the identification of the foreign language The specialized concepts thus constructed are: - (foreign) language skill Albanian, - (foreign) labguage skill Bulgarian, - ... - the (main) facet (e.g. a set of languages) occasional is extended by (sub-) facets that can be added. E.g. a (sub-) facet of language (skill) are the specialized levels defined by CEFR writing, understanding interactively, ...) The relationship between facet groups (in the example above "language" and "CEFR language skill level" can be made 2-way (from "language" to "language skill level" and the inverse). In addition, the "(foreign) language skill" can have as facet (i.e. be specialized) by as well "language" as by "CEFR language skill level". As a result, the ESCO concept "(foreign) language skill" can be specialized in two different ways: - first by language then by language skill level or - first by language skill level then by language Both navigation hierarchies ultimatly hold the same set of (compound) faceted concepts (e.g. "(foreign) language skill" "writing" "Bulgarian". In general: - concept - - &lt;concept by facet group 1&gt; - - - [concept + facet group 1 member] - - - - &lt;[concept + facet group 1 member] by facet group 2&gt; - - - - - [concept + facet group 1 member + facet group 2 member] - - - - - ...
