1         Overview

Supporting materials are commonly passed with HR transactions. Examples may include a picture associated with a resume, a copy of a driver’s license sent as part of a background check, proof of good health sent with a life insurance enrollment, a copy of diploma or license, or a copy of a pay stub. Supporting materials may also include visual/audio media and binary data.

Some workgroups have constructed schema to pass supporting materials. This project would create a generalized structure to replace these structures.

1.1        Objective

The objective of this project is to create schema reusable across workgroups for passing miscellaneous documents by reference or by value. The project will also specify how workgroups can handle element values with images and other hard to code data types.

1.1.1          Domain Issues

Many transactions need to include, attach, or point to supporting documentation. This may affect numerous HR domains such as screening, enrollment and recruiting. Since this is cross-domain issue, the project will be undertaken by the CPO workgroup.

1.1.2          Business Reasons

At a minimum, this object will support existing schemas for business processes in assessment, recruiting (resume) and background checking.  It also will support any other HR business process that needs a general way of specifying supporting materials, such as SIDES, enrollment, and payroll.

1.2        Design Requirements

1.3        Scope

Supporting materials come in many different data formats, including text, formatted text, images, MS Word documents, PDFs, etc. They are very much like e-mail attachments. We need to handle at least 80% of common cases.

Supporting materials are sometimes just a reference to an existing document on line somewhere, but sometimes the document itself needs to be included in the structure. This may be embedded or attached to the document. The specification will handle all three types of supporting materials.

1.3.1          Major Components

1.3.2          Items within the Design Scope

This standard is designed to handle electronic documents associated with common human resources transactions. Examples include formatted resumes, pictures of job applicants, and images of official records. These items may be electronically signed.

1.3.3          Items Outside of Design Scope

Items outside of the design scope for this standard are supporting materials that cannot be either referenced with a URL, attached via electronic envelope, or practically embedded with base64 encoding. For example, this standard is not designed to send a physical object, to track a separate physical mailing, or to send a terabyte-sized database as base64 embedded data.

While this standard can pass copyright information, it has no direct support for digital rights enforcement.

2         Supported Business Processes

2.1        Trading Partner Roles

Because this is a Cross-Process Object, and not a transaction itself, the roles of trading partners in using this specification will be those of the business processes that pass supporting materials. Some of the common patterns for trading partner use of these entities are outlined in the use cases in the next section.

2.2        Use Case Scenarios

Supporting materials may be included in a variety of business transactions.

  Recruiting:

Assessments:

 Screening:

3.3        Metadata Diagram

3.4        Metadata Elements Explained

These elements are defined in Section 2: The Dublin Core Metatdata Element Set of the following Dublin Core document: http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/ 

Although Title and Format are outside the ExtendedMetaData section, they are defined here along with the other Dublin Core elements.

 

Element

Definition

Business Rule

Example

Title

A name given to the resource. Typically, a Title will be a name by which the resource is formally known.

 

 

Format

The physical or digital manifestation of the resource.  Typically, Format may include the media-type or dimensions of the resource. Format may be used to determine the software, hardware or other equipment needed to display or operate the resource.

Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the list of Internet Media Types [MIME] defining computer media formats).

Examples of dimensions include size and duration.

Creator

An entity primarily responsible for making the content of the resource. Typically, the name of a Creator should be used to indicate the entity.

 

Examples of a Creator include a person, an organization, or a service.

Subject

The topic of the content of the resource. Typically, a Subject will be expressed as keywords, key phrases or classification codes that describe a topic of the resource.

Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary or formal classification scheme.

 

Description

An account of the content of the resource. Description may include but is not limited to: an abstract, table of contents, reference to a graphical representation of content or a free-text account of the content.

 

 

Publisher

An entity responsible for making the resource available. Typically, the name of a Publisher should be used to indicate the entity.

 

Examples of a Publisher include a person, an organization, or a service.

Contributor

An entity responsible for making contributions to the content of the resource. Typically, the name of a Contributor should be used to indicate the entity.

 

Examples of a Contributor include a person, an organization, or a service.

Date

A date associated with an event in the life cycle of the resource. Typically, Date will be associated with the creation or availability of the resource.

Recommended best practice for encoding the date value is defined in a profile of ISO 8601 [W3CDTF] and follows the YYYY-MM-DD format.

 

Type

The nature or genre of the content of the resource. Type includes terms describing general categories, functions, genres, or aggregation levels for content.

Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the DCMI Type Vocabulary [DCMITYPE]). To describe the physical or digital manifestation of the resource, use the Format element.

 

Identifier

An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context.

Recommended best practice is to identify the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system.

Example formal identification systems include the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) (including the Uniform Resource Locator (URL)), the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and the International Standard Book Number (ISBN).

Source

A reference to a resource from which the present resource is derived. The present resource may be derived from the Source resource in whole or in part.

Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system.

 

Language

A language of the intellectual content of the resource.

Recommended best practice is to use RFC 3066 [RFC3066], which, in conjunction with ISO 639 [ISO639], defines two- and three-letter primary language tags with optional subtags.

Examples include "en" or "eng" for English, "akk" for Akkadian, and "en-GB" for English used in the United Kingdom.

Relation

A reference to a related resource.

Recommended best practice is to reference the resource by means of a string or number conforming to a formal identification system.

 

Coverage

The extent or scope of the content of the resource. Coverage will typically include spatial location (a place name or geographic coordinates), temporal period (a period label, date, or date range) or jurisdiction (such as a named administrative entity).

Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary (for example, the Thesaurus of Geographic Names [TGN]) and that, where appropriate, named places or time periods be used in preference to numeric identifiers such as sets of coordinates or date ranges.

 

Rights

Information about rights held in and over the resource. Typically, a Rights element will contain a rights management statement for the resource, or reference a service providing such information. Rights information often encompasses Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Copyright, and various Property Rights.

If the Rights element is absent, no assumptions can be made about the status of these and other rights with respect to the resource.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4         Implementation Considerations

4.1        Data Privacy

Human resources data, by its very nature, is personal data. The laws of many jurisdictions as well as codes of fair information practice require organizations to handle personal data in a way that protects individuals from loss of privacy.

The data exchange specifications developed by the HR-XML Consortium are designed to be useful across many jurisdictions and within a variety of business contexts. It is not feasible for the HR-XML Consortium to develop specific privacy guidance for every jurisdiction or business context in which the Consortium's specifications might be implemented. When implementing data exchanges using the HR-XML Consortium's data definitions (or, for that matter, using any other type of data exchange mechanism), organizations are advised to examine the privacy protections that may be required under applicable law and codes of fair information practice.

For information on protecting personal data, general references include: European Union Data Protection Directive (95/46/EC); the Association Computing Machinery Code of Ethics  (1992); Canadian Standards Association Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (1995 – PIPEDA); and U.S.-EU Safe Harbor Principles and FAQs (2000).
