README File

O*NET 4.0 (SP):  Spanish version of O*NET database.

O*NET 4 (SP).zip contains 14 separate files, including the 13 core files of the O*NET 4.0 database, and this README file.

Core files are tab delimited text (.txt) files representing different content model areas of the O*NET database.  The structure of the data in each file is the same as that of the English version of the downloadable O*NET 4.0 database.  Text elements, other than column headings, have been translated into Spanish.  Column headings remain in English to facilitate relating database elements to their descriptions in the O*NET data dictionary, which has not been translated.*  The data dictionary and other supporting technical documentation, updated task statements and work content statements, may be translated into Spanish in later phases of this project.

This Spanish version of the O*NET database was developed by professional and technical staff, subcontractors and consultants of Aguirre International under U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration Contract BB-12266-02-03.


* Note that, due to linguistic differences, the number of characters in any particular Spanish entry may exceed that of the equivalent English entry.
