There have been several attempts, such as:

https://jsonresume.org/schema/

But nobody uses them, because nobody uses them. LinkedIn and other proprietary recruitment services like TeamTailor want to keep all the details locked in - there's no advantage to them to allow you to mass import/export candidate details.

No one uses them because I don't think I've even seen an application process that offers it. Mind you, I rarely get to the end of those because that's why I have a CV.

That said, why doesn't LinkedIn throw its weight behind this? In that context, it would make sense to have and maintain my CV there. With some sort of authorization confirmation that would let a 3rd party import it into their system?
