• Category: class
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/organization
• Box roles: TBox role (What is this?)

A kind of work or profession, such as those classified by ESCO, SOC, or O*NET. Classifications are carried as open code values (gmeow:occupationClassification), never as OWL subclasses (Principle 9).

Structure

Subclass of: gmeow:Entity

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:Occupation as a specialized kind of gmeow:Entity. Add statement metadata or a standpoint when the assertion needs provenance, confidence, or vantage.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use for the shared what-one-does concept that both employment and expertise reference — a profession or kind of work classified by ESCO, SOC, or O*NET; it lives in core so sibling extensions can both reach it.

Avoid when

• Avoid subclassing Occupation per profession (carry the classification as an open gmeow:occupationClassification code value, not a class — Principle 9) and avoid conflating it with a gmeow:Role (a context-played position) or a gmeow:Post (an org-bound seat).

How to use

• Mint a gmeow:Occupation, carry its ESCO/SOC/O*NET classifications as open gmeow:occupationClassification code values, and relate it to a person through the employment or expertise layer rather than typing the person by it.
