Such metadata is especially beneficial when someone is looking for a job or wants to describe the cornerstones
of their career in a machine-processable format. Consequently, DOAC files could be used to enable software agents to
make automatic job offers according to their qualification and experience.
Dublin Core
Dublin Core is a fundamental group of metadata elements developed and distributed by the Dublin Core Metadata
Initiative (DCMI) and standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO 15836 [101]), the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) (RFC 5013 [102]), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/NISO
Z39.85-2007 [103]). Dublin Core metadata is often used in (X)HTML document head sections (similar to general meta
tags), in attributes of XHTML+RDFa documents, and in other files such as feed channels. It can be expressed using
meta and link (X)HTML elements, RDFa, RDF/XML representation, and plain XML [104]. The Dublin Core syntax is
provided in the reference model defined by the Dublin Core Abstract Model specification [105].
