This contention is especially true in the case of solutions for the labor and recruitment market. Many companies in the recruitment market and public employment services are taking notice and are investing in the ontology-based solutions of JANZZ.technology.
Therefore, we have taken a brief moment to lay out the underlying reasons why datasets have become so important.  » Read more about: Why leading employment services and software providers are betting on ontologies.  »

Effective Data Curation for Occupation Related Data: How We Are Dealing with NAICS and ISIC.

The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) and the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) are two landmarks on our way to master occupation data. The way we are curating the data from these two classifications is exemplary of our approach to put a deep understanding of jobs, skills and industries at the center of our recruitment/employment solutions. Hence, we felt it would be about time to give you a little more insight into how we deal with occupation related data,  » Read more about: Effective Data Curation for Occupation Related Data: How We Are Dealing with NAICS and ISIC.  »
