Reciprocal data file publishing and matching system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of reciprocally and automatically matching data files, the method comprising the steps of:
- storing a resume-based data file containing the qualifications of a particular job-seeker, the qualifications being arranged as a first set of characteristics corresponding to the job-seeker;
storing a job description-based data file containing the qualifications of a particular job opening, the qualifications being arranged as a second set of characteristics corresponding to the job opening;
associating a first enhancement data object with the resume-based data file, wherein the first enhancement data object comprises a collection of supplemental data further describing the job-seeker;
associating a second enhancement data object with the job description-based data file, wherein the second enhancement data object comprises a collection of supplemental data further describing the job opening;
automatically comparing the contents of the resume-based data file to the contents of the job description-based data file;
automatically comparing the contents of the first enhancement object to the contents of the second enhancement object; and
automatically matching the resume-based data file to the job description-based data file at least partially on the basis of the outcome of the automatic comparison of the contents of the resume-based data file to the contents of the job description-based data file, and at least partially on the outcome of the automatic comparison of the contents of the respective first and second enhancement objects.

Abstract
A method of reciprocally publishing and matching data files is disclosed. The method includes facilitating the creation of Category A and Category B data files having a respective sets of characteristics defined utilizing a common language architecture, associating enhancement objects with each data file, identifying characteristics in each data file which must be met by other data files, weighting characteristics in each data file differently from other characteristics in the same data file, enabling the selection of participation levels for each data file in marketspaces, and matching Category A data files participating in particular marketspaces to Category B data files participating in the same marketspaces using the common language architecture, the enhancement objects, the weights and the required characteristics.
