Under the terms of the CEN European Standardisation process, once ratified, formal standards documents, including the SIRI Technical Specification, must be obtained from the respective national standards body, for example BSI, VDV, CERTU, etc. (Unfortunately we are not allowed to make them freely available).  Earlier drafts may be circulated to interested parties for comment.

Only the SIRI schemas are available for free download on this site- see below

Versioning

SIRI  uses a systematic versioning scheme. This aims to mark any change to the schema with an explicit version.

For example the version 2.0 schema is found at

http://www.siri.org.uk/schema/2.0/siri.xsd.

To use the SIRI schema, you may either  reference the URL for the appropriate version, or use a local copy held on your own machine, which you can downloaded from this site.

 The SIRI WG endeavour to keep changes backwards compatible - that is  documents conformant with previous releases will still be conformant   with subsequent releases, and documents conformant with subsequent reelases will conform to earlier releases provdied they do not use new features.

Packages

 Siri uses a modular package structure, with a separate sub-schema for each main service.  Click on the image below for a detailed dependency graph. 

Namespaces

To overcome earlier  tool limitations, the original 1.0 SIRI schema used a single  chameleon namespace (http://www.siri.org.uk/.   ) for all include packages .

Subsequent version of the schema (1.2a, 1.3..) use an explicit  namespace for each siri package (http://www.siri.org.uk/siri) and respect the namespaces of other packages eg ifopt." . 

Users are recommended to use a  version of SIRI with the explicit namespaces as this now works better with tools.
