NeTEx overview
NeTEx has been developed under the aegis of CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation) and is the most recent development stage in over fifteen years work to systemise and harmonize European passenger information data.
NeTEx provides a means to exchange data for passenger information such as stops, routes timetables and fares, among different computer systems, together with related operational data. It can be used to collect and integrate date from many different stakeholders, and to reintegrate it as it evolves through successive versions.
NeTEx is intended to be a general purpose XML format, designed for the efficient, updateable exchange of complex transport data among distributed systems. This allows the data to be used in modern web services architectures and to support a wide range of passenger information and operational applications.
To find out more about the NeTEX data model, visit the NeTEX website.
NeTEx-Light and NeTEx EPIP
Ideally all member states will provide NeTEx files according to the European Passenger Information Profile (EPIP) on their respective National Access Point. Data4PT provides some artefacts to simplify producing and quality assure such information.
First of all a simplified and EPIP-adapted version of the full NeTEx XML schema has been produced.
- Browse the graphic and interactive technical presentation of the adapted schema.
- Browse the dedicated Github repository for the EPIP Reduced XSD
National profiles
A number of National and international profiles have already been defined for different European countries and more are under development. A list of these profiles with links to the relevant documentation is available here[1]:
- ch : Swiss profile - Work In progress.
- de : German Profile.
- dk : Denmark implements Nordic Profile and the EU profiles.
- eu : Europe - Passenger Information Profile (Timetables) (above). There is work in progress on European Accessibility Profile (EPIAP) lead by DATA4PT project. To be delivered in the 1st quarter of 2022.
- fi : Finland - Nordic Profile .
- fr : FrenchProfile.
- ie : Irish Profile.
- it : Italian Profile
- nl : Netherlands profile.
- Profile specification.
- Bison Fares.
- no : Norway - Nordic Profile.
- pt : Portuguese Profile
- se : Sweden - Nordic Profile.
- si : Slovenian Profile
- uk : UK Profile (FareExchange.
If your use cases are resolved in an existing profile, it is highly recommended to adopt an existing solution and cooperate with the corresponding entity. You will save resources while you will ensure that your profile is interoperable. In order to support the identification of use cases, DATA4PT will deliver soon an inventory with the existing national profiles, identifying the functional scope and the elements/objects used.
NeTEx software / tools
General purpose XML tools can be used to work with the NeTEx XML schema and XML documents that conform to it, for example either the proprietary XML SPY , or Oxygen or see free tools at http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/xmltools/. A wide variety of mainstream XML tools are available to validate XML and to create bindings to specific programming languages (.NET, Java, PHP, C++).[2]
To look at the design models, an interactive UML viewer such as Enterprise Architect is extremely helpful, although a set of static web pages is also available. Sample mappings to a variety of national formats (VDV, BISON, etc) as well as GTFS have been developed and are included in the NeTEx standard.[3]
The following list of software is known to support NeTEx. We distinguish between different categories that may later receive a list of key performance indicators.
