The goal of the SEEMP (Single European Employment Market-Place) project is to design and implement in a prototypal way an interoperability architecture for public e-Employment services which encompasses cross-governmental business and decisional processes, interoperability and reconciliation of local professional profiles and taxonomies, semantically enabled web services for distributed knowledge access and sharing.

OEG's role in SEEMP

UPM is involved in the semantics aspects of the architecture. For this purpose, the resultant architecture will consist of:

• a Reference Ontology, the core component of the system, that acts as a common "language" in the form of a set of controlled vocabularies to describe the details of a job posting or a CV (Curriculum Vitae);
• a set of local ontologies, so that each ES uses its own local ontology, which describes the employment market in its own terms; 
• a set of mappings between each local ontology and the Reference Ontology; 
• a set of mappings between the ES schema sources and the local ontologies.

Participants

People involved in the development of the project are:

• Asunción Gómez Pérez
• Jaime Ramirez
• Andrés García Silva
• Mari Carmen Suarez Figueroa
• Boris Villazón-Terrazas
