The Dictionary of Occupational Titles or D-O-T (DOT) refers to a publication produced by the United States Department of Labor which helped employers, government officials, and workforce development professionals to define over 13,000 different types of work, from 1938 to the late 1990s. The DOT was created by job analysts who visited thousands of US worksites to observe and record the various types of work, and what was involved. Innovative at the time, the DOT included information still used today in settling EEO and Workers Comp claims, like the physical abilities required to perform that occupation, and the time and repetitiveness of those physical actions (i.e. standing, sitting, lifting 20 pounds or more, seeing at a distance, near vision, hearing quiet sounds, ignoring loud sounds). The DOT was later rendered obsolete and was replaced by an online database which was based largely on voluntary input from occupation incumbents (people who have direct experience working in each occupation). This new occupational database was called the Occupational Information Network or the O *NET.〔(Replace with a database: O *NET replaces the Dictionary of Occupational Titles )〕 The last government-published version of the D-O-T was published in March 1999 as two volumes with additional information related to the O *NET database. ISBN 978-1563700002. Copies of the DOT published after March 1999 are not originals. They are reprints by commercial publishers, several of which reprinted the book under very similar titles, taking advantage of a very limited copyright which did little to protect the title "Dictionary of Occupational Titles" and did nothing to protect most of the content of the D-O-T. ==Accessing O *NET, the US Department of Labor's replacement for the D-O-T== The entire O *NET database is available free of charge to the general public for job analysis and workforce planning via a searchable web-based application O *NET Online.〔*NETonline>(Learn about Occupations at O *NET Online, a free US government-sponsored website )〕 Businesses and programmers may choose to download the latest update of the entire O *NET database for their own use through O *NET Center.〔(O *NET Center is the primary source for all of the free resources based on the O *NET Database )〕 The O *NET Database and related websites are updated and maintained regularly by the National Center for O *NET Development, sponsored by the US Department of Labor/Employment and Training Administration.〔*NETasAaUSDOL/ETAproductFORfreePUBLICuse>(O *NET is information from the public, for the public, sponsored and funded by the US Department of Labor since 1998 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dictionary of Occupational Titles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
