6.3  HR-XML (xml for human resource management) 

Human Resource represents another domain that has worked on the standardisation of the 

data that is manipulated in order to facilitate the design and the interoperability of Human 

Management systems.

Practically, the HR-XML consortium (

http://www.hr-xml.org/

) (a non-profit organisation) has 

produced a library of more than 75 interdependent XML schemas covering the major 

elements to be found in HR systems processes (such as Payroll, Healthcare, or Recruiting and 

Staffing). 

6.3.1  Employees information in HR-XML 

In HR-XML a variety of schemas that are used to represent person’s information are defined 

such as: 

PersonName Prescribes the form of the Person Name object 

PostalAddress Prescribes the form of the Postal Address 

JobAndPosition The Job and Position Header specifications are high-level entities that may 

be used within a variety of HRM models and business processes. Both entities may be 

categorised into fragments such as Duties and Responsibilities, Work Policy, Requirements, 

and Work Schedule. 

Competencies (Measurable Characteristics) The competencies schema allows the capture of 

information about evidence used to substantiate a competency and ratings and weights that 

can be used to rank, compare, and otherwise evaluate the sufficiency or desirability of a 

competency. 

Resume The Resume specification provides a definition for an XML Resume. The Resume 

specification includes modules for employment, education, and military history. 

Benefits Enrolment The specification supports enrolment and maintenance of human 

resources in (1) tier-based coverages -- such as medical, dental and vision; (2) Spending 

Accounts -- more commonly known as flexible spending accounts (FSA); and (3) rate-based 

coverage -- such as life, short term disability, and long term disability. 

Employee StockPlan The StockPlan schema defines the data used to create and maintain 

plan records for stock option, stock purchase, and stock award programs. 

TimeExpense This specification for an "XML timecard" supports the reporting of time 

worked by the staffing resource performing work on the assignment over a particular time 

period as well as certain expenses that might be reported by contract or temporary staff. 

 

6.3.2  The case of competency (Measurable Characteristics) 

Let’s describe a little bit more in detail the competency facet. (see “Competencies 

(Measurable Characteristics) Recommendation, 2004-08-02”, 

http://ns.hr-xml.org/2_3/HR-

XML-2_3/CPO/Competencies.html

, for the complete description of this specification). 

The aim of the competencies schema is to allow the capture of information about evidence 

used to substantiate a competency and ratings and weights that can be used to rank, compare, 

and otherwise evaluate the sufficiency or desirability of a competency. 

HR-XML defines a competency as specific, identifiable, definable, and measurable 

knowledge, skill, ability and/or other deployment-related characteristic (e.g. attitude, 

behaviour, physical ability) which a human resource may possess and which is necessary for, 

or material to, the performance of an activity within a specific business context.
