The HR Open Standards Consortium is the only independent, non-profit, volunteer-led organization dedicated to the development and promotion of a standard suite of specifications to enable human resource related data exchanges. HR Open's voluntary consensus standards are free. Current, global HR vocabularies are developed in a transparent, collaborative-based environment open to all HR professionals and organizations.
Founded in 1999[1], it was formerly known as the HR-XML Consortium, or HR-XML. The name was changed in March 2014.[2]
History
The first discussion about formation of a standards consortium was in Alexandria, VA in 1999 which resulted in HR-XML Consortium Inc. being organized in December 1999. The first HR-XML meeting was in January, 2000. Later in 2000, the HR-XML Consortium released DTD specification for Recruiting and Benefits. In 2001, the HR-XML Consortium released its first XML standards.
Organization
HR Open Standards Consortium members elect officials every year for 2 year terms on the Consortium's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors elect the executive (President, Secretary, and Treasurer) each year for a 1 year term.
HR Open Standards operates a number of domain-based or project-based Workgroups. Each Workgroup has a Project Lead, a Schema Editor, a Secretary, and member participants.
