Eventually, there will be a number of sites that try to consolidate job listings and responses from the Web as a whole. This morning, we were wondering what is required. Probably, we thought, a combination of a search agent and a series of standard "markup tags".

In other, non-employment areas, the move to standardize product and service accessibility is taking shape as industry wide "HTML Extensions". In other words, much of an industry has to agree to use a standard set of industry-specific tagging schemes.

Identify has developed a complex and interesting scheme for standardizing product information in Web Pages. A similar, search engine oriented, approach would make a solid contribution to the overall effectiveness of the Electronic Employment industry.
