Abstract

ESCO--the multilingual European Skills, Competences, Qualifications, and Occupations classification--lets stakeholders in the EU labor market better understand information they exchange. Such semantic interoperability will help address the chronic mismatch between unemployed workers' skills and companies' needs.
