The eDOT code is a nine-digit code made up of three digit parts.  The first part, the first three digits, is called the Occupational Code.  Each digit of this code classifies titles in increasing specificity.  The first digit clusters all titles into nine broad categories.  The second digit subdivides categories into 83 occupation-specific divisions.  The third digit subdivides divisions into 564 even more specific groups.  The second part, the middle three digits, of the eDOT code are the Worker Functions. The first digit describes how a worker uses data.  The second digit describes how a worker relates to people.  And the third digit describes how a worker uses things.  The third and last part, the last three digits, of the eDOT code simply serves to differentiate codes with the same first six digits.
