Chapter 6. The Elements of HR-XML Resume
Prev		Next

This chapter describes the top-level elements of the HR-XML Resume specification. It provides at least one example, along with the corresponding HR-XSL output, for each element. Links to the full HR-XML documentation are also provided.

Note that all of the example output is the plain text version. Other versions will look slightly different, primarily in the use of bold and italic fonts.

ContactInfo

The ContactInfo element is simply a container for two other elements: PersonName and ContactMethod.

PersonName

PersonName describes, as you might expect, a person's name.

Examples

<PersonName>
    <GivenName>John</GivenName>
    <FamilyName>Smith</FamilyName>
    <Affix type="formOfAddress">Major</Affix>
</PersonName>

<PersonName>
    <GivenName>Maria</GivenName>
    <FamilyName primary="true">Garcia</FamilyName>
    <FamilyName primary="false" prefix="de">Silva</FamilyName>
    <Affix type="formOfAddress">Srta.</Affix>
</PersonName>

HR-XSL Output

Major John Smith

Srta. Maria Garcia de Silva

Notes

If PreferredGivenName is specified, it is used in place of GivenName.

HR-XSL ignores LegalName, AlternateScript, and FamilyName/@primary.

The HR-XML website has more documentation.

ContactMethod

ContactMethod describes a person's telephone numbers, e-mail address, website, and postal address.

Telephone numbers, e-mail, and website

Notes

The telephone, e-mail, and website portions of ContactMethod are rendered in a tabular format, with labels in the left column and the content in the right column. The e-mail and website elements are rendered as links to themselves, if the output format supports it (e.g., HTML and PDF).

Notes

In the last example, note that the country code was automatically translated into the proper English name. If you need to specify an address for a country other than the U.S., simply use the appropriate two-letter ISO 3166 country code.

If you need to change the translated names, you will have to create a new translation file as described in the section called “Localized Messages”.
