For web developers

• Europass Labels

  The files below contain the text labels used for the Europass CV and ELP, in various formats:

  • PO - The PO file format is used in the GNU “gettext” toolset, designed for producing and managing multilingual messages.
  • XForms - The W3C XForms provide a standard set of visual controls, intending to replace today’s HTML form controls. They are designed to be used inside XHTML and other XML documents, like SVG.
  • XLIFF – The OASIS XLIFF (XML Localisation Interchange File Format) proposes a single interchange file format that can be used for localisation and translation processes

• Europass XML Schemas and XSLT Resources

  You may find below

  • some useful XSL applications (xsl-utils);
  • the W3C XML Schema (XSD) definitions, upon which Europass XML is based; and
  • the description of Europass competences following the IMS Reusable Definition of Competency or Educational Objective information model (rdceo->competencies)
  • the XSL transformation files for rendering Europass XML to HTML (europass-xsl-xml-to-html).

• Europass JSON Schema

  ​

  The Europass JSON Schema specification follows the IETF’s (Internet Engineering Task Force) JSON Schema specification draft. It defines the structure a JSON object that describes a Europass CV or Language Passport must adhere to. The Europass JSON Schema specification is in close correspondence to the Europass XML Schema and follows a similar versioning.

  You can check the validity of JSON objects for the Europass CV or Language Passport using the Europass JSON validator

  Europass Web services provide a standard way (web API) for other systems, software and services to use Europass services in an automated way, for example to generate remotely Europass documents in PDF, OpenOffice, Microsoft® Word, starting from a Europass XML file.

  • Version 2.0 (released September 2011): If you start using Europass Web services, please use Version 2.0, which provides more options than Version 1.0, as well as better documentation and better support.
