Abstract
According to several national Institutions’, ICT company associations’ and the Italian Ministry of Innovation and Technology’s requests for standardisation of ICT job profiles, an ICT job profiles model was defined. It is based on ontologies principle to describe “Knowledge Objects”, “Skills”, “Competences” and their relations. The model takes into account the several formalisations from national and company ICT job profiles frameworks and refers to the scientific literature about ontology and competences definitions. A software tool has been implemented on the basis of the model defined. It allows collecting individual users’ job profiles and analysing the gaps against a set of ICT standard profiles. The semantic network behind gives the system flexibility. Furthermore, the system enables the dynamical enrichment of the semantic network by uploading new skills by users, who can also suggest linkages between the new nodes. The system administrator will later evaluate and accept them.
