Job Family Group

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

The job family group model uses JSON-LD with SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) vocabulary to provide a hierarchical representation of job families and their relationships, supporting comprehensive job family classification and taxonomy management.

Overview

The Beamery job family group model is designed to capture comprehensive information about job family classifications, including their hierarchical relationships and connections to other taxonomic concepts. This model supports talent management with structured job family understanding and classification.

Core Schema

The job family group 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"

      "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."
      },
