> Prominent in the agenda is the Staffing Industry Data Exchange

> systems with those of their customers and partners.

> Several specifications will be put before the membership for a
> vote at the London meeting. Those specifications include:

> "XML timecard" supports the reporting of time worked as well as
> certain expenses that might be reported by contract or temporary
> staff.
> 
> Competencies, Version 1.0. The competencies schema allows the
> capture of information about evidence used to substantiate a
> competency and ratings and weights that can be used to rank,
> compare, and otherwise evaluate the sufficiency or desirability
> of a competency.
> 
> Enrollment, Version 1.0. This specification supports the transfer
> of benefits enrollment data among U.S.-based employers, third-party
> administrators, benefit suppliers/vendors, and other parties
> involved in the administration or provision of employee benefits.

> "Cross-Process Objects". A number of these basic HR data "building
> blocks" will be considered including those relating to representations
> of date and time, person name, and postal address.
