AKN4EU is a technical markup standard developed by the EU Institutions and based on Akoma Ntoso (AKN), which is deriving from the XML (Extensible Markup Language) standard for representing legislative, judicial and executive documents in a structured manner.
AKN4EU is tailored to the specific needs of the EU institutions, but Member States can adopt and/or re-use it for transposing and notifying EU legislation at a national level. Additional information on the standard AKN4EU are provided on the EU Vocabularies website.
AKN4EU is still a work in progress because it does not cover all document types. However, the first exchanges using AKN4EU will take place later this year. The Interinstitutional Metadata and Formats Committee (IMFC), which is chaired and managed by the Publications Office, has adopted version 3.0 of AKN4EU on 17 April 2020.
The Publications Office has subsequently updated the EU Vocabularies website accordingly and published AKN4EU version 3.0 on 27 April 2020.
The package comprises the following components:
