Core-O is a well-founded competence reference ontology that accounts for competence-related elements such as knowledge, attitudes, and skills; also countenance their performance---related to tasks, their context, and outcomes---as well as their evolution over time (proficiency). This ontology is based on the Unified Foundational Ontology (Guizzardi, 2005), more specifically using gUFO (gentle UFO), a UFO-based lightweight ontology.
The ontology was based on these works: (CALHAU et al., 2021) and (CALHAU et al., 2023)
It was created to support: (i) semantically annotate competence-related artifacts such as curriculum, job vacancy, learning objects, resources, professional profiles, task logs, logbooks, and learning diaries; (ii) semantically inter-operate and integrate professional data concerning internal system (from organizations, VET institutions) and external ones (e.g., professional networks as LinkedIn); (iii) support the semantic search to find the best professional to an occupation, or to find the best occupation to a professional; (iv) support the skill/competence matching in gap analysis; (v) support competence/skill identification/assessment based on ontology-driven data and text mining in competence-related artifacts, such as learning diary, logbook, or task logs from control version tools as Github.
