A free software CV/résumé parsor

I'm seeking a software solution to extract data from résumé/CV in various format (PDF, Microsoft Word, etc.).

What I need is :

  1. extracting name, surname, email, phone numbers, segmented postal address (street, zipcode, etc.) into a exploitable structured output
  2. a free software solution
  3. extracting other typical résumé entries (previous jobs title, etc)
  4. a solution which directly integrate the previous results into OpenERP

Ideally it would integrate seamlessly with OpenERP, but any solution that would provide a key/value output would be enough as I can develop the integration glue myself. It just should let me obtain results on a Linux server, so a Linux compatible software would be better but even a web service with a reasonable response time for an interactive usage may be fine.

From my own research Open Applicant could have been a good candidate as it provided "resume parsing" and was free software. But unfortunately it looks like it disappeared from the web.

Non-free softwares that may do the job include DaXtra Parser, ResumeGrabber, Rchilli Resume Parser, Automated Hr Software Resume Parser.
