I think this is a great idea for a project, but I don't have time to
do it myself...
1. Set up a wiki (pref MediaWiki) for people to publish their CVs/
Resumés. This might need slightly different access restrictions than
normal MediaWiki installations to prevent people from negatively
editing others' CVs.
2. The site would provide a bunch of MediaWiki "templates" which
would expose the CV data as XHTML+RDFa using the FOAF and DOAC vocabs
primarily.
3. The site would provide a conformance checking tool for CV authors,
using RDFS and OWL reasoning, and perhaps in-built knowledge of FOAF
and DOAC, to look at individual CVs and check them for
contradictions. (e.g. range/domain conflicts.)
4. The site would provide a "dictionary" of skills, each with a URI,
for more standardised markup of a person's skillset.
5. A bot would monitor the "recent changes" RSS feed (is this valid
RSS 1.0 - i.e. RDF? If not, it could maybe be fixed.) finding CVs
which had recently been changed. Each of these would be parsed as
RDFa and entered into a big, communal triple store (using the URL of
the CV page as a graph name for easy maintenance).
6. A SPARQL endpoint would be exposed for the big triple store.
7. People could write various human-friendly forms as a wrapper for
the SPARQL endpoint. The cviki community would vote on the best of
these, and the winner would be placed on the Wiki front page.
