The OOA HR-Semantics Roadmap

This roadmap aims to identify the challenges and opportunities in applying the ontology technology in the Human Resources domain. It can be used as a reference for both the HR and the ontology communities. Status:A prefinal version (comments are invited!)

Target users: A reference for both the HR and the ontology communities. Also, to be used as a roadmap for the OOA itself, within the HR domain.

Background: During the discussion panel at the OOA kick-off workshop, which was attended by more than 50 HR and ontology experts, the need for this roadmap was realized. It was obvious that the current understanding of the problem of semantics in HR is fragmented and only partial solutions exist. People from both the HR and the ontology communities speak different languages, have different understandings, and are not aware of existing solutions.
