  2. IER is contracted under the DASISH project to develop a multi-lingual version of CASCOT to code job titles to ISCO 08 • A large task and limited resources, so this is a pilot project • The 7 selected languages are:- Dutch (Netherlands, Flemish-Belgium)- English-French (France, Walloon-Belgium, Switzerland)-German (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)- Slovak- Spanish- Italian

  3. Contacts for the CASCOT project • Kea Tijdens (Universities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam) • Marc Houben (CBS, Netherlands) • Judith Pilliner (ONS, UK) • Louis Meuric (INSEE, France) • Manuel Munz (ex-University of Bamberg, Germany) • HartmutMinkel (DESTATIS, Germany) • JozefKrabac (Trexima, Slovak Republic) • Julio Nunez (INE, Spain) • Elena Meschi (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy) • David Hunter (ILO)

  4. Key Tasks Undertaken So Far • All the interface text in English has been translated into the six other languages • National language versions of the ISCO 08 structure built into the CASCOT software • Job titles in the selected languages indexed to ISCO 08- Some supplied by NSIs or other groups with whom we work- Some found by us by exploring relevant national websites • Raw data files from the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 6 have been supplied. Some contain job titles and ISCO 08 codes. These will be used to validate the software.

  5. Key Tasks for the Remaining Project Period • Partnership arrangements for the testing of the CASCOT multi-lingual software by experts within each country covered by the languages in the pilot • Partnership arrangements for the testing and development of language-based coding rules (Venice Workshop) • Using the CASCOT performance tool to fine-tune the software in different languages • Timetable: - Test results by October 2014- Completion of the project by December 2014

  6. Venice Workshop Occupational Coding in Multi-national Surveys: CASCOT Training Workshop 10 – 11 April 2014 at University of Warwick, Palazzo Pesaro Papafava, Cannaregio 3764, 30121 Venice Further information is available from -
