OTDS = Offener Touristischer DatenstandardEDF = Einheitliches DatenformatGlobalTypes = DRV GlobalTypes(DRV = Deutscher Reiseverband)

OTDS vs. EDF(DRV GlobalTypes are supported by both)

Uniform coding
DRV GlobalTypes
DRV GlobalTypes
● describe properties of touristic goods and services
● “standard” introduced by DRV
● tackles the problem of comparing offers and prices in tourism
DRV GlobalTypes
● GlobalTypes provide a uniform coding of offers and services
● codes in form of XT## e.g. GT01
GT = GlobalType, ST = SubType, AT = AdditionalType
Examples
GT03-MASS ⇒ MassageST03-THMA ⇒ Thai-Massage
GT03-MASS ⇒ MassageST03-THMA ⇒ Thai-MassageAT03-EXCO ⇒ Fee required
Examples
GT03-MASS ⇒ MassageST03-THMA ⇒ Thai-Massage
GT03-MASS ⇒ MassageST03-THMA ⇒ Thai-MassageAT03-EXCO ⇒ Fee required
← GlobalType, “base Type”
← SubType, more specific than GlobalType(can not be used alone)
^ AdditionalType, can augment GlobalType OR SubType
Einheitliches Datenformat
● product developed by peakwork
● XML based
● exchange of offer and product data
● first format to support DRV GlobalTypes
EDF
● You have to purchase the product to gain access to the EDF specification
● I did not do that
● However, OTDS seems to be very similar
EDF
Offener Touristischer Datenstandard
OTDS
● “Offener touristischer Datenstandard”
● XML data format
● 31 associates
Associates
OTDS
● open and non-proprietary
● supports DRV GlobalTypes
● supports incremental updates
OTDS● accomodation
● flight
● package prices
● transfer, rental car, insurance, parking information, ...
● includes all product and price rules
OTDS● OTDS schema definition
> 8000 lines of XSD
● Example definition from an OTDS presentation [0] One hotel24.000 lines of XML
Touristic Data Formatsbefore 2003
INFX (flat structure, only adult prices)AICP (flat structure, only adult prices)INFX2 (flat structure, total prices buggy)
2003KATI (complex structure, only adult prices, specific to local promoter)
2010EDF (complex structure, total prices, proprietary)
2011OTDS (complex structure, total prices, open and free)
Conclusion
● DRV GlobalTypes uniform codes⇒ What about global compatibility?
● EDF, closed XML data format by peakworks
● OTDS, open XML data standard developed collaboratively by the OTDS group
