Planned Support for HR-XML?

    Hi,
    Is there any planned support for the resume XML schema defined by the HR-XML Consortium?

      Why would there? They're different (competing) schemas. I certainly like this one better since it's simpler and doesn't bog me down in all kinds over un-needed data typing nonsense.

      The network effects of something with widespread support should not be underestimated: nobody is ever going to accept XMLResume XML docs in SOAP over HTTP unless it seriously picks up momentum, but they just may accept the HR-XML docs if it gains enough momentum.

      Jerimoth project is an open source HR-XML project.

      I agree with the previous post about the network effects. IMHO, this is where a resume in xml ought to be fed. Who cares if I can save my resume in 6 formats if a potential employer or job board has to re-process it? Sure, you might put filters on it for different formats such as functional, chronological, or even a story format. But I think the bonus of having my resume in an industry standard format would be a catalyst for more attention. Think... rss icons, etc. Then put a hr-xml icon your resume via your homepage site. Then it might get picked up for some contract via a spider.

      I predict a map will be needed between these formats.

      It should be possible to write an XSL stylesheet to transform XMLResume into HR-XML.  If HR-XML requires additional data, then the XSL would at least take care of most of the work (with some manual data entry required after running the XSL).

      Yep, and I have done exactly that. I contributed the code to the HR-XSL project:

      Documentation is here:
