System for cataloging, inventorying, selecting, measuring, valuing and matching intellectual capital and skills with a skill requirement
First Claim
1. A method for cataloging skills comprising the steps of:
- establishing a hierarchical list of defined skills;
assigning an alphanumeric symbol to each of said defined skills to create an Intellectual Capital code for said defined skills, said Intellectual capital code comprising a series of one or more said alphanumeric symbols assigned to said defined skills to correspond to said hierarchical list of defined skills;
receiving a set of submitted skills using a machine, wherein said set of submitted skills contains at least one of said defined skills in said hierarchical list;
identifying said Intellectual Capital code corresponding to said defined skill in said set of submitted skills;
adding at least one weighting factor to at least one of said Intellectual Capital codes in said set of submitted skills, said weighting factor having a characteristic that allows it to be used to match and rank at least a portion of said submitted skills; and
storing at least said identified Intellectual Capital codes and said weighting factor in a machine-readable data source.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to a system for cataloging, inventorying, selecting, measuring, valuing and matching Intellectual Capital skills and matching or inquiring of an individual'"'"'s skills, and particularly to a system for finding candidates for an employment or consulting position having requisite skills, and more particularly to a system for creating a searchable knowledge base of individuals skills indexed in a hierarchical cataloging, measuring and valuation system. The present invention includes generating a list of Intellectual Capital Codes based upon a standardized skills catalog which contains a set of skill categories organized in a hierarchical manner with a unique Intellectual Capital code and at least one weighting factor assigned to each skill, wherein a plurality of Intellectual Capital codes and weighting factors can be compared to determine a match.
