I am attempting to use the impressive 'XML Resume Library' in part to better understand some other uses of XML/XSL, particularly an implementation called XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language).
That domain is steering away from the DTD toward the concept of 'taxonomy,' a particular implementation of an XML schema.
Has any thought been given to creating, if only for illustrative purposes an 'XML Resume' taxonomy?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've been hearing the terms "taxonomy" and even "ontology" a lot recently, but I'm not entirely clear what they mean.
The XML Resume Library would indeed like to start produce XML Schemata instead of DTDs (and will likely generate a DTD from a schema for backwards compatiblity). Some day.
Can you give me an URL to this taxonomy concept? Is it an extension of XML Schema? A specification for XML Schema? Something else?
Thanks,
Sean.

I have just discovered this site and see that I have independently invented all this stuff (i.e. a resume DTD/XSchema/XSL formatters). [See http://www.polyglotinc.com/ ]
BUT, the hard part that I have been putting on the back burner since I started this in 1997 is the "ontology" part because it is much harder to develop and much much harder to get people to use
because it quickly gets *complicated*.
I.E. develop a standard set of "skill/experience keywords" along with all their common aliases and relationships to each other. E.G. if someone wants to see my "unix" experience, I want them to see my
AIX, HPUX, DGUX, Linux, Solaris, SunOS, etc experience and not just literal references to Unix.
And if someone looks for HP3000 experience they should match my mention of MPE or HPE operating system experience. Etc. Etc.
