Supplemental Database Files
The files below are provided to support use of the O*NET database and the development of other products utilizing the O*NET database. Each file is briefly annotated, with additional documentation included with each file download. Files will be in a tab-delimited text file format, unless specified otherwise. Some files, such as crosswalks or alternative file formats of the O*NET Database, are available through the National Crosswalk Service Center
(NCSC) and are so noted.
Files are marked for use with O*NET-SOC 2010 (our current taxonomy, used in the production O*NET 17.0 database) or O*NET-SOC 2009 (an older taxonomy last used in the O*NET 15.0 database). For more information on the history of the O*NET-SOC, and crosswalk listings between versions, please visit our Taxonomy page.
Detailed Work Activities
DWAs provide information on the common work activities required across occupations by coding the work activities to O*NET-SOC occupations. They're used in the America's Career InfoNet, O*NET OnLine, and O*NET Code Connector web applications. In addition to the file documentation provided in the download below, read more about the development of these files in its Summary Report. The original files were developed by DOL-ETA under a Career OneStop grant and known as Labor Exchange Skills. For information about their original development, read the Labor Exchange Skills Project Report.

Emerging Tasks
During the O*NET survey, in an effort to maintain updated task lists, job incumbents are provided an opportunity to provide tasks that they feel are not represented in the current task list for their respective occupations. Based on a review and analysis of these proposed new tasks, revisions are made to existing tasks and emerging tasks are identified. For a detailed treatment of the analysis, read the Preliminary Analysis report.

Lay Titles
The Lay Titles file provides a list of alternate occupational titles that are linked to the SOC and O*NET-SOC classification systems. The file was developed to improve keyword searches in several Department of Labor internet applications (i.e., Career InfoNet, O*NET OnLine, and O*NET Code Connector). The original file largely consisted of occupational titles from existing occupational classification systems. By using many diverse sources for occupational titles, including information gathered from job incumbents and occupational experts in the O*NET Data Collection Program, the file has grown to include over 44,000 distinct titles. As part of the most recent update, over 900 distinct titles have been added as alternates. Users of this file wishing to make suggestions for new lay title entries can do so using our O*NET Lay Titles Submission Procedures. The file will be regularly updated to improve its content.

Related Occupations
The Related Occupations file provides a list of occupations related based on similar characteristics. This prototype file was developed with the release of the initial O*NET database, O*NET '98, to illustrate possible uses of the database. The file has been retained and is used within the O*NET OnLine web application.

Tools and Technology
The tools and technology (T2) file provides information on machines, equipment, tools, and software that workers may use for optimal functioning in a high performance workplace. Emphasis is placed on cutting edge technologies and emerging workplace practices. Specific examples of tools and technology used within each occupation are organized into a standardized taxonomy (i.e., the United Nations Standard Products and Service Code - UNSPSC), allowing for cross-occupational comparisons and analysis. More information on this taxonomy is available from the UNSPSC website
. For more information on T2 development, read the Synopsis of Data Development Procedures report.
We welcome feedback on the T2 database. We accept suggestions for new tools and technologies via our T2 feedback process. Suggestions will be considered for a future update of the T2 database.

Work Needs
This file provides Work Needs ratings for O*NET-SOC occupations. There are 21 individual Work Needs, grouped in the O*NET Content Model under 6 Work Values. Work Values ratings are provided in the core O*NET Database. For more information on Work Needs and Work Values, read the Determining the Occupational Reinforcer Patterns for O*NET Occupational Units report.

Crosswalks
Crosswalks are provided by the National Crosswalk Service Center
(NCSC), a technical resource for dealing with occupational and training program classification systems. The NCSC is funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
through the Analyst Resource Center (ARC)
. The center's mission is to maximize the effective and efficient use of occupational information by providing specialized occupational tools (files, reports, software) and technical assistance to users and producers of occupational information.
In addition to the crosswalks listed below, the NCSC maintains alternate file formats (Microsoft Access, SAS/PC) for most O*NET Center downloads. For more information on these files, visit their O*NET 17.0
, Supplemental Files
, and O*NET Database Directory
pages. If you have questions about the NCSC or its products and services, you can contact them at ncsc@iowa.gov.
The crosswalk files below include:
- Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP)
- Dictionary of Occupational Titles (DOT)
- Military Occupational Classification (MOC)
- Registered Apprenticeship Partners Information Data System (RAPIDS)
Note: Within O*NET OnLine and My Next Move for Veterans, the MOC crosswalk is supplemented with data from Army COOL and Navy COOL sites. This supplemental data is available upon request through O*NET Customer Service (onet@onetcenter.org).
