I would suggest that, more generally, they are all forms of
structure. They are ways of giving form and arrangement to
information. They make certain elements, patterns, and relationships
explicit, revealing what is otherwise implicit, latent, or tacit.

In this admittedly broad view (perhaps overbroad), a CV has much in
common with a navigation scheme.
