Annex: Relevant differences between EPIP, EPIAP and the Swiss realisation guide 2.0

Main differences

The following list provides an overview of all elements related to accessibility information. Most of them are described in EPIAP, while a few are documented in greater detail in Part 1 of NeTEx (in particular, various Services and enumerations). The list is derived from a more comprehensive ComparisonMatrix_FR_NO_CH.

The elements in italics are the ones that are considered more important in the perspective of a future Swiss profile. Note that the French profile, as currently documented, includes practically the totality of EPIAP.

The extension of the Swiss profile to cover accessibility is documented here (in work).
