What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in information science, computer science, engineering, library science, ontology, semantics, computational linguistics, or a combination.
  • Master’s degree in information science, computer science, engineering, library science, ontology, semantics, or computational linguistics (preferred).
  • At least 3 years’ experience in a metadata field of work or a master’s degree in a relevant field.
  • At least 3 years’ experience or training in W3C standards including linked and canonical data and ontologies (JSON, XML, RDF, RDFS, OWL, and SKOS).
  • At least 3 years’ experience or training in ontology and linked data tools such as Protégé, TopQuadrant, PoolParty, Stardog, AnzoGraph, Neptune, or Data.World.
  • At least 3 years’ experience with SQL, SPARQL, or a combination.
  • Familiarity with graph databases, Python, R, JSON, OpenAPI/YAML, AVRO, and Amazon Web Services (preferred).
