Job Family

JSON-LD schema defining the Beamery job family model structure using SKOS vocabulary

The job family model uses JSON-LD with SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) vocabulary to provide a comprehensive representation of job families, their definitions, and relationships within the job architecture framework.

Overview

The Beamery job family model is designed to capture detailed information about specific job families, including their definitions, relationships, and connections to other taxonomic concepts. This model supports granular job family classification and management within the broader job architecture.

Core Schema

The job family model is based on the following JSON-LD structure with SKOS vocabulary:

{
  "graph": [
    {
      "uri": "https://data.beamery.com/beamery/bkg-v3/job-families#this",
      "type": "skos:ConceptScheme"
    },
    {
      "uri": "https://data.beamery.com/beamery/bkg-v3/job-families/10063#this",
      "type": "skos:Concept",
      "skos:definition": {
        "lang": "en",
        "value": "Observe, research, and interpret astronomical phenomena to increase basic knowledge or apply such information to practical problems."
      },
      "inScheme": {
        "uri": "https://data.beamery.com/beamery/bkg-v3/job-families#this"
      },
      "prefLabel": {
        "lang": "en",
        "value": "Astronomers"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Job Family Structure

The model supports detailed job family representation:

Core Components

  • Concept Scheme: Container for all job family concepts
  • Job Family Concept: Individual job family with definition and relationships
  • Definitions: Detailed descriptions of job family responsibilities and scope

Example Job Family

  • Astronomers: Observe, research, and interpret astronomical phenomena to increase basic knowledge or apply such information to practical problems.

Job Family Classification

The model aligns with standard occupational classification systems:

Standard Classifications
