Displaying brand or altered operator

Branding expands the presentation possibilities at all levels of the time table data. At the top level (Authority/Operator), Brandin can override which company information is displayed to the customer. This should not be used to separate routesper Authority - then additionalNetwork must be used.

Modeling for alternative operator information

All routes owned by the county municipality shall have the county municipality or the current administrative company as the Authority. Line data that is only delivered by the county miunicipality on behalf of other operators, has (normally) its own Authority within the data set's Codespace. This means in practice that the customer is informed that the Authority is responsible for the route, for example. management and ticketing (note that customer service / contact information regardless of this is obtained from CustomerServiceContactDetails for the current Operator).

If on some routes you want to display a different coimpanu information than what is stated in the Authority, you must use Branding. This is added by the following model:

Additional information on Network or Line

Branding is a generic NeTEx element which can be applied to elements in the NeTEx structure for adding or overriding name and URL. In the Nordic profile, the usage is limited to adding additional names and URL to the Network and Line elements.

• Branding per Network

  • Used when certain lines in the dataset have a common denominator, i.e. Network.

  • Examples of this can be a cluster of city buses, a string of Lines which form a coherent service, or a sales related brand name.

  • The Network may have a different URL from the authority.

• Branding per Line

  • Used when a Line has a commonly used or publicly marketed name which a customer may relate to in addition to the Lines' publicCode.

  • An example of this can be e.g. "Bergensbanen" for railway service journeys between Oslo and Bergen.

  • The Line may have a different URL from the authority.

Modelling of added information

The Branding elements may be added to the commons file of the dataset (for reduced redundancy) and is referred to from Network or Line with the use of a BrandingRef.

Please note that the concept of GroupOfLines is not a part of the hierarchy and does necessarily have to include the same lines as the Network.
