HR-XML defines several schemas to represent the different aspects of competency: 

Competency 

•

 

name – (string) 

•

 

description – (string) 

•

 

required – (boolean) 

•

 

CompetencyId 

An identification code assigned to identify or classify the Competency. 

•

 

TaxonomyId 

A code that identifies the taxonomy. 

•

 

CompetencyEvidence 

CompetencyEvidence is used to capture information to substantiate the existence, 

sufficiency, or level of a Competency. 

•

 

CompetencyWeight 

CompetencyWeight allows the capture of information on the relative importance of the 

Competency or the sufficiency required. 

•

 

Competency 

Competencies can have relationships to one another. One way that the Competencies 

schema allows these relationships to be expressed is through the recursive nesting of one 

competency inside another. 

•

 

UserArea 

Attribute used to extend the description with additional attributes 

 

 

 

CompetencyId and TaxonomyId have the following structure: 

•

 

id – (string) – (required) 

•

 

idOwner – (string) 

•

 

description – (string)

such as a report given by a former supervisor or other employment reference. 

 

CompetencyEvidence 

•

 

EvidenceId 

A code that identifies the CompetencyEvidence 

•

 

name – (string) 

•

 

NumericValue – (val, min, max) 

NumericValue is the required or desired level for the competency. The content of 

NumericValue is a rating value. 

•

 

StringValue – (string) 

•

 

SupportingInformation – (string) 

Contains additional descriptive information to substantiate or clarify a rating, measure, 

value, etc. 

•

 

dateOfIncident – (date) 

The date on which the CompetenceEvidence first establishes the existence of the 

Competency 

•

 

typeDescription – (string) 

A description of the type of CompetencyEvidence. 

•

 

expirationDate – (date) 

The identification of any applicable expiration date, such as the date that a license or

CompetencyWeight 

•

 

NumericValue 

NumericValue is the required or desired level for the competency. 

- value – (double) 

- minValue – (double) 

- maxValue – (double) 

- description – (string) 

•

 

StringValue – (string) 

Same information as before, but represented as strings 

•

 

SupportingInformation – (string) 

Identifies the type of CompetencyWeight. Enumerated values are: levelOfInterest (A level 

of interest asserted or required for the competency) and skillLevel (A level of skill 

asserted or required for the competency). 

•

 

Type

Some examples of representation 

The following examples are aimed at indicating what kind of competency information (and 

evidence) can be typically represented: 

 

Example: Competency with Years of Experience and Test Score 

Describes an employee who has Java as a competency. 

Acme Company, using their standard Java test, tested this employee. The candidate’s test 

score was 89 on that test. In addition, it’s recorded that the employee has 4 years of 

experience using Java and on a scale from 1-100, has a score of 90 for their level of interest. 

 

 

Example: License as Competency Evidence 

Describes a candidate’s competency to drive a car. 

The evidence used in this example is a valid driver’s license that was obtained on 12/23/1986. 

The measured value in this case is simply 0 or 1 (1 meaning that the candidate has it, 0 

meaning they don’t).
