OccO: Occupation Ontology The Occupation Ontology (OccO) is an ontology in the domain of human occupations. OccO is an initial ontological presentation of information taken from a standardized occupation taxonomy, the US Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) as enhanced by the *ONet** system. These systems have been developed by the following US Federal agencies:

OccO reflects the data content of the O*Net-SOC 2019 taxonomy, which is based on the 2018 SOC, and it is developed by following OBO Foundry principles. The data used is from O*Net data by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (USDOL/EGA). It is used under the CC BY 4.0 license. USDOL/ETA has not approved, endorsed or tested these modivications.

Occupational Attributes as Object Properties The O*net system associates a number of occupational attributes such as skills, abilities, knowledge, to each occupation. To illustrate the incorporation of such attributes into OccO, the skill and ability attributes are treated as object properties "has skill" and "has ability." These properties are represented in an example occupation, "pharmacist," to illustrate how they are structured in OWL. Extending these properties to every occupation is a topic for later study, ideally harmonizing with the treatment of skills in other taxonomies, in particular with the extensive treatment of skills in the European Union European Skils, Competences, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO) classification system.

OccO was initiated by Sam Smith and Oliver He, at the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Then its development includes more members, including Damion Dooley of Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, BC, Canada, and John Beverley and Eric Merrell from University at Buffalo.

OccO was initially developed as part of the Role Ontology (RoleO) as seen here in BioPortal: https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/ROLEO.
