Abstract


This paper presents a software system that automatically identifies expertise in personal curriculums, stored in the Lattes format. The identification is made through the extraction of textual information from XML structures used in the Lattes format. Text mining techniques are used to classify the texts according to themes defined in a domain ontology. This process allows identifying user's expertise, that is, competences and areas of interest. Since curriculums in Lattes format are structured by sections (publications, experience, projects, etc), it is possible to identify different areas in different fields of action.

Keywords: Automatic Identification, Expertise, Curriculum Vitae, Lattes
