ESCO's essential and optional tags describe how its taxonomy relates a skill to an occupation. They are not the essential functions of a job under the ADA, which an employer determines for its own role. O*NET importance says how much a skill matters in an occupation, from 1 to 5; it is not a proficiency level.
