ESCO will not only help to improve matching between jobseekers and vacancies. It will be an important tool for better anticipation and monitoring of emerging skills demands on the labour market. Bridging between the labour market and the world of education, it can be used for a wide range of applications such as tools for guidance, training needs analyses, performance management and appraisals recognised Europe-wide. \n<strong>Part 2: RDF and SKOS to distribute European taxonomies</strong><br>\nEurope has multilingual thesauruses and taxonomies to categorize documents of many different types (research papers, law, CV, study, comments, ?).
