Role Model

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

The role model uses JSON-LD with SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) vocabulary to provide a semantically rich representation of roles, their relationships, and multilingual labels.

Overview

The Beamery role model is designed to capture comprehensive information about professional roles, including multilingual labels, definitions, and relationships to other taxonomic concepts. This model supports international talent management with rich semantic relationships.

Core Schema

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