Methodology for Reusing Human Resources Management Standards

Resumen

Employment Services (ESs), Public ones (PESs) and Private ones (PrEAs), are becoming more and more important for Public Administrations where their social implications on sustainability, workforce mobility and equal opportunities play a fundamental strategic importance for any central or local Government. The EU SEEMP (Single European Employment Market-Place) project aims at improving facilitate workers mobility in Europe. Ontologies are used to model descriptions of job offers and curricula; and for facilitating the process of exchanging job offer data and CV data between ES. In this paper we present the methodological approach we followed for reusing existing human resources management standards like NACE, ISCO-88 (COM) and FOET, among others, in the SEEMP project, in order to build a common “language” called Reference Ontology.
