The highest supported version of the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD) for defining the data structure of an electronic form (pursuant to Section 2.3.5 of Annex 1 to Decree No. 78/2020 Coll.) is version 1.0.
Pursuant to Annex 1Opens in a new window, Section 7.3.6 of Decree No. 78/2020 Coll.Opens in a new window on Standards for Information Technologies in Public Administration, the documentation of electronic form validations performed in the Electronic Forms Module, together with the date on which they become effective, is published on the Central Government Portal:
Any changes to the validation rules in the Electronic Forms Module must be approved in advance by MIRRI and published sufficiently in advance of their actual implementation. Depending on the expected impact on existing implementations, the announcement of the activation of new rules will normally be published at least 3 months in advance, or 6 months or more in advance where necessary. In the case of more significant changes, the notice may be published 12 months or more in advance. Each validation rule specifies the date from which it becomes effective. This date can be detected automatically, making it possible to determine when the rule will be activated.
Pursuant to the related provisions of the Decree on Standards, the original values published in the Central Metainformation SystemOpens in a new window continue to be used (instead of uniform referenceable identifiers) in the following cases:
Pursuant to Annex 1, Section 3.1.1 of Decree No. 78/2020 Coll., under certain conditions, components of a form may be modified without changing its version. Therefore, as of 27 December 2023, a list of electronic forms that have been modified without a version change has been published:

The Electronic Forms Module currently supports the electronic form publication container exclusively in version 1.0. Therefore, pursuant to Section 7.3.2 of Annex 1 to Decree No. 78/2020 Coll.Opens in a new window, only values corresponding to version 1 may be specified in the container, for example, "urn:manifest:1.0".
Pursuant to Section 7.3 of Annex 1 to Decree No. 78/2020 Coll. on Standards for Information Technologies in Public Administration, XSD schemas for individual versions of the electronic form publication container are published in the Central Metainformation SystemOpens in a new window.
At present, the published XSD schemas are available only for version 1.0 of the electronic form publication container. Since versions 1.1 and 1.2 of the container cannot currently be used, electronic forms cannot use features supported exclusively by these higher versions. Such features include, for example, multiple comma-separated values in the media-destination attribute in the manifest.xml file or the new structure of the meta.xml file.
In accordance with Section 7.5.4 of Annex 1 to Decree No. 78/2020 Coll.Opens in a new window, we publish the permitted attribute values for the electronic form publication container in the Electronic Forms Module:
In accordance with Decree No. 78/2020 CollOpens in a new window. on Standards for Information Technologies in Public Administration (Annex 1, Section 3.1.3), we publish a link to download the reference XSL-FO software used to correctly transform XSL-FO files into PDF presentations of electronic forms. This software is Apache FOP 1.1.Opens in a new window
The current configurationOpens in a new window of Apache FOP 1.1 [.zip, 3.6 kB] used by the Central Government Portal is also available.
This software is used by the Central Government Portal for every transformation of data entered in an electronic form into PDF format. It is also used to generate paper copies of electronic official documents.
Apache FOP 1.1 was approved in 2014 by the working groups of the Commission for the Standardisation of Information Systems in Public Administration and is also referenced in the methodological guidelines accompanying the Decree on Standards.Opens in a new window
The following command can be used to generate a PDF presentation from data entered in accordance with an electronic form, using the print presentation schema and the reference XSL-FO software Apache FOP 1.1:
fop -xml data.xml -c conf/fop.xconf -xsl form.x.fo.xsl -pdf vystup.pdf
