scope:

The present document defines the XML schema data model for Service and Programme Information (SPI) and methods for delivery by broadcast digital radio - DAB and DRM - and IP.

This data format may be used both for transmitting service and schedule data to SPI applications on devices and as the basis for exchanging information between broadcasters, service providers, network operators and content providers.

In respect to the previous version of the present document, provision is added for the following:

• Phonetic definition of service names and programme titles for voice-controlled applications;

• Service name aliases to improve discovery;

• Definition of programme contributors and credits;

• Guidance on using IP bearers carrying playlist files or adaptive streaming;

• Guidance on how to support information for regional and supra-regional services.
