DISKOW: Discovering Job Knowledge from Web Data

ABSTRACT
Discovering job Knowledge through Web Analytics towards facilitated mobility of European Professionals and Refugees Career Integration.

Where: international
Challenge
The scope of DISKOW project is to create an open “job knowledge base” (JKB) prototype that can be used by employers, employees, job seekers, labor market experts and policy makers.
Approach
The Web is a gold mine for job knowledge discovery. Linked open data, social media sources, job search engines, data streams and interlinked info are few examples of such readily available job-related sources of knowledge. Improving job knowledge, competencies and skills of job seekers is essential to increase their employability. To gain insights into labour demand or supply, researchers and policymakers have traditionally relied on interviews, trade publications, surveys, and vacancies. Although such traditional data sources have some clear advantages, they are also characterized by limitations that can be addressed by using web-based data and Semantic Web technologies instead.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
Such a knowledge base could contain different types of information such as responsibilities and roles, required competences (described using existing standards, such as European e-Competence Framework (eCF), European Qualifications Framework (EQF), etc.), that could be used to develop training and identify priorities, wage information, geographical and demographic trends, cultural issues, demands of the job markets in different domains, job announcement information and rates, job popularity and other useful statistics. The solution provides a new dimension in labour market analysis by employing job knowledge from the web data in contrast to the traditional approaches such as survey, questionnaires, interview and trade or business publications.
