This document is part of the Norwegian NeTEx profile and describes data elements related to transport networks used for public transport data exchange in the NeTEx format.

  • Please note the network part of the profile describes structures, attributes, and geospatial objects, which make up the framework of the timetable data. It does not, however, describe time-related concepts, such as departure times, or operational days. All of these are described in timetable.

Info

A transport network is an "umbrella" structure for all Lines which share relevant features, such as the ownership of the lines. Lines can be also be grouped as GroupOfLines, of which Network is a sub-type, but this is optional).
