Europass CV XML Schema Documentation

Unofficial Documentation for Europass CV XML Schema v3.0.0

This repository contains an unofficial, community maintained Markdown conversion of the Europass2 CV XML Schema documentation (v3.0.0, 17/02/2020).

Warning

This documentation is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by the European Union, the European Commission, or CEDEFOP.

Why this repository exists

The Europass2 CV XML Schema documentation is officially published as a PDF document. This format is not optimal for developer focused documentation.

Historically published schema files and related resources are fragmented across archived web pages, legacy repositories, and direct file links. Some materials are no longer referenced from active web pages and can be difficult to discover without targeted searches or archival tools.

This repository exists to: - Convert the existing documentation into structured Markdown - Improve readability, navigation, and searchability - Enable transparent discussion and clarification through issues and pull requests - Provide a practical reference for developers and institutions working with the schema

Contributing

This is a community-maintained project. Feel free to suggest improvements or report issues on GitHub.
