Elements of O*Net
The elements of the O-Net system are logical, understandable and well-documented. The database information is downloadable in several formats. These elements are basically as follows:
** Occupations ** a listing of 900+ occupations grouped as 23 major categories and Xx minor categories.
** Abilities ** a set of 52 abilities described as Enduring attributes of the individual that influence performance. These are long-term qualities that a person is either born with or acquires.
** Skills ** a set of 35 skills described as Developed capacities that facilitate learning or the more rapid acquisition of knowledge. These are acquired capabilities that combine ability, knowledge and experience.
** Knowledge ** a tabulation of the various types of knowledge needed for occupations (currently not used in the Life Ontologies)
** Interests ** a tabulation of occupaiton-related interests (currently not used in the Life Ontologies)
** Work Activities ** a range of 41 occupation-related activities, many of which are relevant to life in general.
These elements are proposed as a starting point for expansion into the non-occupational aspects of the Life Ontologies.
They are described more fully in the Life Activities Ontology, which encompasses abilities and skills as well.
