This response returns ability descriptors for an occupation. Each element item includes the ID, name, and description of the corresponding Content Model element. It also includes a score item with the standardized Importance rating, when the numeric rating is available. The related attribute links to additional occupations where the element is important; see the Related occupations for Abilities service.

Up to 10 descriptors are returned by default. To see all descriptors, set the optional display parameter to long.
