Vacancies

Currently there is no vocabulary for describing job vacancies so this is a rough draft of one.

This is currently in use on http://data.ox.ac.uk

Note: We may wish to deprecate this and move to something like that described at [1].

Prefixes

PREFIX vacancy: <http://purl.org/openorg/vacancy/>

Useful External Predicates

  • rdfs:label - the vacancy title, eg "Web Developer"
  • dcterms:description - the description of the job as listed on the web page, eg "We are looking for a PHP developer who..."
  • dcterms:created - the date that the entry in the graph was created?
  • dcterms:modifiedDate
