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

Note: The following list is not necessarily comprehensive.

LATER https://github.com/openTdataCH/netexRealisationGuideSwitzerland/blob/main/docs/A2_annex_comparison_EPIP_EPIAP.md

Main differences

The following lists aim to give an overviiew 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 elements in italics are the ones that are (tentatively) elected for being included in the Swiss profile. Note that, in contrast, the French profile includes practically the totality of EPIAP. The extension of the Swiss profile to cover accessibility is documented here.
