Btw, I saw your weighted skills in the profile. I co-developed recently 
the Cognitive Characteristics Ontology[1] which should exactly address 
such a modelling. That means, it enables you to describe cognitive 
pattern e.g., skills, expertises or interests, simply in form of a 
triple or extended. An extended version can include for instance a 
weighting of the cognitive pattern (by utilizing the Weighting 
Ontology[2]). Please have a look at the examples in the Cognitive 
Characteristics Ontology specification documentation e.g., this one [3].
When applying a weighting it is especially important that the scale 
should be no out-of-band knowledge. It should rather be possible to 
discover that knowledge as needed. Hence, it is useful to also provide 
scales in machine processable form.

Cheers,


Bob


PS: If have further questions re. the Cognitive Characteristics 
Ontology, don't hesitate to ask me ;)
