Work Ontology (Expanded)
Hello,
Last week I posted a vague description of a work ontology that I've been building for the better part of a year. I wanted to give a few more descriptive details to fill in the blanks so that you all can have your pick at it.
Purpose:
To create a work ontology that allows for a user to understand the nature of the work being done in their organization (or by themselves) relative to all meaningful work that exists (with obvious restrictions for a one-man operation). This understanding is achieved only through a computational representation of work data into units called work primitives. Primitives are, in a basic sense, with variables attached (metadata) that give each unit a unique identity. The relationship of primitives to each other and to each higher level of work (task, job, occupation, industry, domain) gives our dataset features that enable a variety of downstream uses (briefly mentioned at the end).
Example:
In a practical sense, here's what one of the process features we can do:
1.) Take a job description. Here's the link for this one: (https://www.indeed.com/?\_\_cf\_chl\_f\_tk=IAgsTAeXWy4IHqrltCOc8fcZ7dK9M798G39ZD.ZfHbE-1782824832-1.0.1.1-9m4d6ttvSNizRouuHgwdXP4\_8J.2hszUsBfHdMlLikk)
2.) Parse the text out so it's able to be matched using the program. Here are the results (only 85% of this job description had acceptable matches.
plan lessons consistent with state and pepin academies curriculum framework(s)
ensure compliance with school, state, and federal regulations regarding the education of students with disabilities
support pepin academies' mission and vision
observe confidentiality relating to students, teachers, and school
perform minimum supervision
communicate effectively with students and parents to increase student achievement
increase student achievement
participate professional development activities to stay current in best practices for special education
maximize student learning and engagement
present subject matter effectively, using technology where appropriate and available, while using appropriate skills and strategies within the teacher evaluation framework to promote the creative/critical thinking capabilities of students
record keeping, and reporting systems where appropriate and available
manage systems of instruction, record keeping, and reporting systems where appropriate and available
establish standards for acceptance for acceptable student behavior while maintaining a structured and positive classroom environment conducive to learning
maintain standards for acceptance for acceptable student behavior while maintaining a structured and positive classroom environment conducive to learning
participate iep and eligibility meetings with parents and appropriate school and agency personnel
implement all requirements
ensure timely submission of planning notes and lesson plans in accordance with school deadlines and guidelines
supervise teacher assistant in providing instruction for students, as required
provide transition planning for students with disabilities, as required
maintain valid and current florida teaching certificate, adhering to all renewal and professional development requirements as mandated by the florida department of education
3.) Match these primitives with primitives from the core library (that's our proprietary dataset, that is currently only 10% of minimum viable capacity and that's what this example is just for early feedback purposes).
As you can see there are a couple of spider maps that plot out various features, such as CL - Cognitive Load. There's also a compensation spread which shows you the range of compensation for the average of all primitive in a job description (also loosely referred by as a packet) and then for each primitive within that client packet. Again, these are values based on what is in our core library (not a client library or a 3rd party library).
Here's just another snapshot of a single primitive's graphical representation:
Implications
This example shows just the client side of things in its early state. For nearly the past year I've been working out the logic, use cases, design, etc., and have really just begun within the past two months to generate results (in the form of data and graphics) for the client, researcher, and developer side of things.
Downstream Uses
Business
- Compensation Intelligence Reports and & Heatmapping
- Job Architecture & Role Design
- Talent Acquisition & Semantic Matching
- Workforce Planning & Skills Forecasting
- Workflow Simulation & Bottleneck Analysis
Research
- Granular Labor Market & Occupational Analysis
- Work Design, Cognitive Ergonomics & Worker Outcomes
- Comparative & Historical Work Structures
- Ground-Truth Data for AI Task Decomposition & Agent Training
Notes
I have not displayed anything beyond column names from the database. If you think this info would be helpful just LMK.

u/boring_thinker - The data here would likely sit below APQC data, but I think would integrate well. Thanks for this info BTW. I had never heard of this before you mentioned it. The only work ontology I had heard of was O*NET.
