Intellectual Property Rights
IPRs essential or potentially essential to the present document may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (http://ipr.etsi.org).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web

Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by Joint Technical Committee (JTC) Broadcast of the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU), Comité Européen de Normalisation ELECtrotechnique (CENELEC) and the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
NOTE 1: The EBU/ETSI JTC Broadcast was established in 1990 to co-ordinate the drafting of standards in the
specific field of broadcasting and related fields. Since 1995 the JTC Broadcast became a tripartite body
by including in the Memorandum of Understanding also CENELEC, which is responsible for the
standardization of radio and television receivers. The EBU is a professional association of broadcasting
organizations whose work includes the co-ordination of its members' activities in the technical, legal,
programme-making and programme-exchange domains. The EBU has active members in about
60 countries in the European broadcasting area; its headquarters is in Geneva.

The Eureka Project 147 was established in 1987, with funding from the European Commission, to develop a system for
the broadcasting of audio and data to fixed, portable or mobile receivers. Their work resulted in the publication of
European Standard, ETSI EN 300 401 [3], for DAB (see note 2) which now has worldwide acceptance. The members of
the Eureka Project 147 are drawn from broadcasting organizations and telecommunication providers together with
companies from the professional and consumer electronics industry.
NOTE 2: DAB is a registered trademark owned by one of the Eureka Project 147 partners.
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "may not", "need", "need not", "will",
"will not", "can" and "cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms
for the expression of provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

Introduction
The present document defines how the SPI data will be transported, compressed and profiled such that a good user
experience can be achieved using limited broadcast capacity. Using a combination of SPI profiles it is possible that a
range of features could be supported in devices, including:
• Navigation and selection of services and programmes.
• The display of schedules at varying levels of detail for programmes from a range of services.
• The display of schedules, with programmes and events ordered into particular groups.
• Searching through current, future and past programme listings, including on-demand content (Filecast).
• Timed recording of individual programmes, or of groups of programmes and themed or similar programming.
The present document is compatible with the hybrid digital radio SPI, ETSI TS 102 818 (V3.1.1 or later) [1].

1 Scope
The present document defines how the XML schema data model for Service and Programme Information (SPI)
(ETSI TS 102 818 [1]) should be compressed, profiled and broadcast. Within the present document the term "DAB" is
used to refer to the Digital Audio Broadcasting standard (ETSI EN 300 401 [3]) and "DRM" is used to refer to the
Digital Radio Mondiale standard (ETSI ES 201 980 [6]).
In respect to previous versions of the present document, hybrid radio provisions have been added to allow a seamless
experience for users when consuming radio services delivered by digital radio broadcasting systems (DAB, DRM) or IP
or a combination of both. The use of the present document allows content to be created once by the service provider for
delivery by both mechanisms and allows manufacturers to implement devices with many common elements.
