3 Europass XML Document elements, their structure and datatypes

The Europass schema uses the following namespace definitions:

• xmlns="http://www.europass.eu/1.0"
• xmlns:hr=http://www.hr-xml.org/3
• xmlns:oa="http://www.openapplications.org/oagis/9"

3.1 /Candidate (level 0)

Candidate is the root element of Europass2 XML document. This element defines a candidate, i.e. jobseeker or Job changer’s CV that is exchanged between an Employment Services (ES) and Interoperability Platform and that is to be matched with open Job Vacancies.

Element	Description	Cardinality	Rule	Examples
Candidate	The root element containing the definition of a candidate, i.e. jobseeker or Job changer’s CV that is exchanged between an ES and Interoperability Platform and that is to be matched with open Job Vacancies. Only one candidate element is allowed.	1	BR-CV-02: Only One Candidate (CV) per XML document instance is allowed.	N/A
Sub-elements
DocumentID	Original document identifier (id within document supplier system). Provided by first sender of the document! ID issued by first publishing system. (Originator).	1	BR-COM-4: The Document ID identifier must be a UUID and it must be provided by the first sender of the document. schemeVersionID attribute should use of ECV09-VersionCodes list.	N/A
AlternateDocumentID	Alternate/Additional document identifier (e.g. id within eures information system). (Republishers) Additional identifiers for this document. If EURES has to exchange this document with third parties, a EURES alternate ID (only an identifier within the EURES information system) is added. This construct is designed to allow for these different identifications.	0..n	N/A	N/A
ProcessingInformation	Includes the target system codes that are related to document processing. In EURES, this element is used to carry “visibility” and “data protection” instructions to the Interoperability Portal. See the description of this element for more details.	0..1	Information: If the /Candidate /Processing Information element is not present in a Candidate’s XML document instance, no visibility restrictions concerning this CV will be applied (i.e., all fields will be visible)	N/A

See section /ProcessingInformation for more information.

CandidateSupplier	Information about the supplier of the candidate details. This can be the candidate him/herself through the EURES Portal, or a third party (a PES, for instance).	1..n	N/A	N/A
	See section /CandidateSupplier for more information.
PositionSeekingStatus	A code classifying the candidate's job search pattern or disposition. (e.g. "Active", "Passive", "NotConsideringPositions").	0..1	BR-CV-4: The "PositionSeekingCodeContentType" HR-Open Standards Code List must be used to codify the /Candidate /Position Seeking Status.	"Active", "Passive", "NotConsideringPositions" HR-Open: PositionSeekingStatusEnumType [CL39]
CandidatePerson	Personal details of the person seeking a job, such as his/her name, age, gender, and so on.	1	N/A	N/A
	See section /CandidatePerson for more information.
CandidateProfile	The candidate's structured set of characteristics, such as his/her Qualifications, Work Experience, and so on. More than one profile is allowed in order to provide the information in different languages. Thus the need for cardinality 1..n. It is the responsibility of the person who builds up the CV to make sure that a profile is expressed in the same language and those different profile language versions contain exactly the same information.	1..n	BR-COM-01: If not otherwise specified, "English" is used as the default language. BR-COM-02: Multiple profiles are allowed, but it must be expressed in different languages.	N/A
	See section /CandidateProfile for more information.
