Central Sign On allows publishing user profile information in a variety of formats. Some of the formats CSO will support include:

• XML.
• hResume http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume
• FOAF http://www.foaf-project.org/
• XFN http://gmpg.org/xfn/
• vCard
• hCard
• iCal
• AMPL Attention Markup http://www.apml.org/index.htm

Any resource can be retireved in XML format, as a natural consequence of using [http://nosrmi.org] for the web services interface.

Other formats collect specific information. The hResume format publishes a user's resume, and includes contact information for the user and references to organizations that the user has marked as employers. The FOAF and XFN publish references to a user's friends, associates and other relationships.
