Graham Jordan <(Address removed)> said:

In 2006, TWICT was part of the JoinedupJobs project, funded by the North
East Centre of Excellence, which went on to become the Improvement and
Efficiency Partnership.

One aspect of that project was to identify a suitable data schema for
sharing job vacancy information between different agencies. Given the
current discussions about publishing public sector job data for reuse by
third parties, the outputs from the project may be relevant.

Project Deliverable D4 sets out a Joined Up Jobs XML schema for
structuring vacancy information in a data format to facilitate content
storing, sharing and re-purposing for digital channels.

                "The Joined Up Jobs Schema has adopted the HR-XML
schema, which is an international recommended standard for data-systems
relating to human resource processes in their widest possible form
covering everything from appointment to payroll and pensions. HR-XML is
cited in the UK Government Interoperability Framework for public sector
information sharing, eGif.

                We have extracted the relevant vacancy information
[fields] from this schema and used it as the basis for developing an
easy-to-use Joined Up Jobs XML schema that can be implemented by
councils who wish to share and exchange data.

                Long term, the governance of the Joined Up Jobs Vacancy
Schema should be picked up by the HR-XML consortium and Joined up Jobs
be recognised as best practice and made mandatory by local government on
a national basis through its inclusion in eGif. Existing Policies,
procedures and guidelines could then incorporate the schema roll-out and
development."
