Choose a schema
Each entry point below is a different way into the same set of NeTEx definitions. If you are not sure, start with the full model.
-
Full model (NX)
Every NeTEx object gathered under one root, so it is the easiest way to explore the whole model. It exists for browsing only: don't use it to validate real data.
-
Publication
The standard bulk exchange format. A
PublicationDeliverydocument carries whole data sets between systems, and this is the schema most NeTEx files validate against. -
Timetable publication
A slimmed-down publication schema that only covers what you need to exchange timetables. Smaller and quicker to navigate if that is all you work with.
-
NeTEx over SIRI
Wraps NeTEx requests and deliveries in SIRI, the real-time service protocol, for request/response or publish/subscribe exchanges instead of bulk files.
-
SIRI, substitution groups version
The SIRI service interface with all functional services included, built using generic substitution groups so further services can be plugged in by an include.
-
IFOPT
Identification of Fixed Objects in Public Transport: stop places, points of interest and other physical locations, on their own without the rest of NeTEx.
How to use the browser
Every schema page works the same way.
Search the sidebar
Type a name like StopPlace or ServiceJourney to filter thousands of elements and types down to the one you want.
Expand the tree
The home page of each schema shows its structure from the root element. Open a branch to see what can go inside it.
Switch schema sets
All six schema sets share the same element and type pages. The menu at the top of the sidebar switches between them, and the sidebar lists only what the chosen set contains.
See examples
The official NeTEx example files are published with their element names linked, and element pages list the examples that use them.
Follow the links
Element and type pages list their attributes, children and documentation, and link to where each one is used and to the exact line of XSD source.

About this site
The reference generator, prettyxsd, and this site were made by Giles Antonio Radford.
The code that generates the site was written with the help of AI. The documentation itself is not AI-written: every element, type, description and line of source shown here is taken directly from the official NeTEx reference schemas on GitHub.
This is an independent reference, not an official CEN publication.
