1. A computerized method of identifying industries for potential transfer of a job function with respect to a first industry, the method comprising:
- a. in a first digital computer process, receiving data identifying the job function in the first industry;
b. in a second digital computer process, accessing a database, stored on a digital storage medium, containing information, developed for the job function, listing industries to which and from which the job function is potentially transferable, the information corresponding to markings in a square matrix,the matrix having a pair of orthogonal axes, and a series of positions along each axis with each position along each axis being associated with a different industry in which the job function is performed, wherein each industry occupies a corresponding position along each axis, so that(1) in a row of the matrix corresponding to a selected industry in which an individual has experience are markings of columns of industries to which the experience of the individual is potentially transferable and(2) in a column of the matrix corresponding to a selected industry in which a company may be seeking candidates are markings of rows of industries from which a candidate'"'"'s experience therein may be transferable to the selected industry;
wherein the pattern of markings in the matrix is not symmetric; and
c. in a third digital computer process, using the database to identify at least one industry other than the first industry for potential transfer of the job function.

Abstract
Methods for identifying industries for potential transfer of a job function capability involve the use of a database that correlates, for a job function in a first industry, the first industry with a set of second industries with respect to which a job function capability of the job function is potentially transferable. The database can be accessed to identify the second set of industries. A symbolic representation of a job transfer between the first industry and a second industry or a symbolic representation that categorizes a subject of a user'"'"'s job transferability query may be used to access the database.
