3.39 Code Lists

Code Lists are tables containing codes or values representing concepts that have been agreed amongst several parties as having the same meaning for all.

HR-Open Standards 3.1 provides many Code Lists for many different concepts. HR-Open Standards Code Lists are based on W3C XSD Enumeration Schemas. The EURES CV specifications re-use a large number of these Code Lists. EURES also defines several different Code Lists based on the OASIS Code Lists specification, another representation method that is compatible with the HR-Open Standards specification. Detailed information about this specification can be found here:

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=codelist

EUROPASS2 makes extensive use of HR-Open Standards and EURES Code Lists along with extension/modification.

Thus, these code lists could be defined as:

  • EUROPASS2 [ECV]: New code list used by the EUROPASS Schema and defined by international entities, such as NUTS or ISO. As well as extended version of existing EURES codelists
  • HR-Open/EURES standard [CL]: code lists defined and maintained by HR-Open/EURES Standards organisation.

A set of attributes might be filled in for each code list not representing the HR-Open Standards.
