What is the ELAP Validator?
The ELAP Validator is a comprehensive tool developed to address a variety of needs in the design and implementation of interoperability solutions within public institutions in Europe. The ELAP Validator allows for the conformance testing of a designed solution against the principles and guidelines of ELAP.
The latest release of the ELAP Validator is the v1.0.0

The European Library of Architecture Principles (ELAP) and the ELAP Validator are intended to direct government organisations in initiating changes and implementing IT projects. Particularly when designing new or modified services, it is necessary to make visible how the principles are implemented and which considerations are made in this regard. The comply-or-explain principle applies here, whereby deviations are permitted, provided they are substantiated and recorded with good arguments whereby they can be revisited at a later stage. This prevents important matters from being overlooked.
