Introductions • HR-XML Certification Program • Localization / Internationalization • Review of the Agenda • Report from Leaders
“Phase One” Certification Criteria • Solution must be capable of generating and/or consuming a compliant HR-XML document • If you extend, you must use the extension mechanisms specified by the Consortium (exceptions apply to SEP 1.1, 1.2 certifications) • Use of specifications must be semantically appropriate • Solution must be commercially available or implemented in trading-partner arrangement (cannot be the results of a mere demo or pilot or hypothetical capability).
“Phase One” Costs / Process • For a limited time only (first 20 certifications), completely FREE for member organizations (Thereafter, $1,000 for General-level members) • How do you get started? Fill out a simple form describing your solution and how it uses HR-XML specs. • Certification is on a “facts and circumstances” basis. A validation service (http://testbed.hr-xml.org) is available to support certifiers
Initial Certifications Others in progress…
Why Certify Now? • Get the recognition your company deserves as an early adopter! • Participate in a Hrcertify.org launch promotions (e.g., press releases, advertising in HR trade magazines). • It will never be easier and less expensive! Completely free for member organizations for first 20 certifications. • Lock-in your certification. Certified companies will be allowed to renew certifications indefinitely regardless of whether new versions of the specification are issued. If you have implemented a spec and haven’t certified, you may lose your ability to certify under the specification should it be superceded by a subsequent version (You have until one-year after the specification has been superceded to certify).

Localization / Internationalization • Two related, but distinct concepts: • Localization involves accommodations for legal or business-practice requirements unique to a particular country or jurisdiction. • Internationalization involves designing specifications so that they can be re-used broadly across jurisdictions. • The HR-XML Consortium has a clear interest in both. • Localization activities are proceeding in the France; Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. • These local initiatives are creating valuable results. However, we obviously want to avoid creating entirely different, incompatible standards for each jurisdiction.
Japan Model • HR-XML’s recent efforts in setting up a Japanese chapter of the Consortium may provide a useful model for working with a European or country-specific chapters.
Japan Model Key Elements • A separate organization established as appropriate under local law. Funded as appropriate under local law/business practice. • Local chapter would engage local consultants/resources to assist with technical coordination and local promotion of HR-XML specifications. • HR-XML and local chapter would exchange intellectual property rights. Local chapter would be granted rights to HR-XML name and specifications, HR-XML would be granted rights to derivative works by local chapters. • Wherever possible, requirements and work of local group are used to strengthen the core HR-XML specifications. Coordination accomplished via shared mailing lists, regular reports at HR-XML quarterly meetings, etc.
Applicable to Europe? • Is there value in a European chapter to help facilitate and coordinate the growing number of European HR-XML localization initiatives? • How might dedicated European technical and business development resources be useful in the development and promotion of HR-XML specifications in Europe? • How might we change our practices going forward to better support the growing amount of HR-XML adoption and localization efforts in Europe?
