RailML® is not the finished development of a central group.  Instead, railML® grows through the joint work of the partners and is steadily being extended. We invite you to participate on this future-oriented project and to take advantage of these standardized interfaces. Our [http://forum.railml.org Forum] is meant to help coordinate the joint work of the development partners.
== Current {{rml|2}} subschemas ==


This wiki should supporting the development of railML ®-schemes. It allows users to create new content and edit existing articles, and setup a comprehensive knowledge database to the railML® standard.  
There are three subschemas for productive use: Infrastructure (IS), Timetable and Rostering (TT) and Rollingstock (RS). Elements that are needed by all subschemas or do not fit into this structure are subsumed in the class Common (CO). Please contact the coordinator of the respective schema (see {{site|https://www.railML.org/en/user/subschemes.html}}) for questions and enquiries. Additional subschemas will be developed only in the {{rml|3}} domain. Please, frame the regarding suggestions and contributions to this end.


All articles must be created in english. Additional German comments are allowed. The language of the user interface can be changed after login.


Please refer to the [http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User%27s_Guide user manual] (external link to a different wiki - not railML) for help to the wiki.
=== How to Join the Wiki ===
Joining the Wiki is very easy and only a matter of seconds.
#''Go to the login page''
#*In the upper right corner of this page, you find a link to [http://wiki.railml.org/index.php?title=Spezial:Userlogin sign in] to this Wiki. If you currently use the German layout of this Wiki, the link is called "Anmelden".
#*Follow that link to get to the login page.
# ''Choose a user name and a password''
#*The first two text fields of the login page ask you to enter a user name and a password. The username can be arbitrary, but should be the first letter of your first name followed by a dot and your complete last name (like [[Benutzer:V.Knollmann | V.Knollmann]] for example).
#*Since you are new to Wiki, you must re-enter you password, enter your email address and your real name. That what the lower three text fields are for.
#*Now you can request a new account ("Neues Nutzerkonto anlegen") and are instantly able to work with the Wiki!
#''Confirm your mail address''
#*Immediately after creating a new account, an email is sent to you which contains a link. Click that link to confirm that the mail address you've entered above is really yours.
#''That's it!''
#*You are ready to contribute to the Wiki!
#*If you like to, you can enter some information about you on your personal page. Your personal page's name is Benutzer:Username (like [[Benutzer:V.Knollmann | Benutzer:V.Knollmann]]).
=== How to start a new page ===
The easiest way to start a new page is to edit an existing page and insert a link to your new page there. Do this:
# Go to the page from which you want to link to your new page <br>
# Click the "edit"- or "bearbeiten"-link (depending on the language you chose in the [[Special:Preferences | Preferences]]) the the page header<br>
# Insert the link like this: [[ ''NameOfThePage'' | ''Displayed Label in the text'' ]] (just edit this page and look and the source to see how it works)<br>
# Save the page (perhaps after previewing it) and click the new link you just inserted<br>
# A new page pops up in which you can directly enter the contents of your new page<br>

==== General Information ====
The {{rml}} [[Infrastructure|Infrastructure subschema]] is focused on the description of the railway network infrastructure including all its various facets that are needed by the data exchange applications. In particular, the {{rml}} infrastructure schema contains the following information:
 
* Topology. The track network is described as a topological node edge model.
The Infrastructure subschema contains a data structure for the storage of
* Coordinates. All railway infrastructure elements can be located in an arbitrary 2- or 3-dimensional coordinate system, e.g. the {{wiki|World_Geodetic_System#WGS84}}that is widely used by today's navigation software.
 
* Geometry. The track geometry can be described in terms of radius and gradient.
* tracks, switches and the topology of a line
* Railway infrastructure elements enclose a variety of railway relevant assets that can be found on, under, over or next to the railway {{IS:Tag|track}}, e.g. {{IS:Tag|balise}}s, {{IS:Tag|platformEdge}}s, and {{IS:Tag|levelCrossing}}s.
* various operations and control elements (e. g. signals along the track)
* Further located elements encompass elements that are closely linked with the railway infrastructure, but that "cannot be touched", e.g. {{IS:Tag|speedProfile}}  and {{IS:Tag|trackCondition}}s.
* tunnels, bridges
* any kind of "border" (owner change, gauge change, axle load change, electrification, ...)
* visualization data for displaying a net
 
Please visit the [http://www.railml.org railML-Website] for more detailed information about the Infrastructure subschema or send an [mailto:coord@infrastructure.railml.org email] to the coordinator of the subschema.
 
There is also a "historic" collection of new [[IS_IntendedFeatures | features]] for the Infrastructer subschema. It was developed in the preparation works of railML version 1.1. Some of the suggestions are already implemented in the stable railML 2.0 release. Other extensions wait for users with strong needs for them.

=== Timetable and Rostering (TT) ===
 
==== General Information ====
 
The timetable subschema is part of the complete [http://www.railml.org railML] schema providing a data structure in XML language for the exchange of railway specific data.
 
The timetable schema provides container for all data about any kind of timetables for operational or conceptional purposes. A flexible description of operating periods, which are important elements while dealing with timetables, is also included in the schema.
 
The root element is always <[[CO:railml|railml]]>, thus it is even possible to combine data of timetable with those of other RailML schemas within one file. The main element for this schema is {{TT:Tag|timetable}}, which is the root for data about any timetable.
 
With the new branch of {{TT:Tag|rosterings}} it is intended to use this data schema as well for conceptional rolling stock schedules.
 
Please visit the [http://www.railml.org railML-Website] for more detailed information about the Timetable subschema or send an [mailto:coord@timetable.railml.org email] to the coordinator of the subschema.

{{main|Rollingstock}}
The [[rollingstock|rollingstock subschema]] is part of the complete [https://www.railML.org {{rml}}] schema providing a data structure in {{wiki|XML}} language for the exchange of railway specific data.


==== General Information ====
The rollingstock schema provides a container for all data about any kind of railway vehicle including locomotives, multiple units, passenger and freight wagons. The second part of the schema enables the combination of single vehicles to formations as a fixed composition within a train or an entire train. It is intended to use this data schema for vehicle management as well as for detailed run-time calculations.

=== Interlocking (IL) ===
 
The Interlocking subschema shall store information about typical interlocking data like:
 
* train and shunting routes
* dependencies between signals, blocks and routes
* switches and derailers affected by a route
* overlappings
 
The Interlocking subschema doesn't exist yet but is currently being developed. The discussion related to the development is held in the [news://sifa.ivi.fhg.de/railML.infrastructure infrastructure forum] (or click [http://sifa.ivi.fhg.de/newsportal/thread.php?group=railML.infrastructure here] for access via HTTP).
More static information like [[IL_IntendedFeatures | features lists]] is stored in the Wiki.
 
=== Shift planning ===
 
Additional to (vehicle) rosterings, there are ideas for implementing (personnel) shift planning.
 
It should be discussed in the [news://sifa.ivi.fhg.de/railML.timetable timetable forum] (or click [http://sifa.ivi.fhg.de/newsportal/thread.php?group=railML.timetable here] for access via HTTP).

Current railML® 2 subschemas

There are three subschemas for productive use: Infrastructure (IS), Timetable and Rostering (TT) and Rollingstock (RS). Elements that are needed by all subschemas or do not fit into this structure are subsumed in the class Common (CO). Please contact the coordinator of the respective schema (see https://www.railML.org/en/user/subschemes.html (link to the railML® website)) for questions and enquiries. Additional subschemas will be developed only in the railML® 3 domain. Please, frame the regarding suggestions and contributions to this end.


Infrastructure (IS)

→Main Article: Infrastructure

The railML® Infrastructure subschema is focused on the description of the railway network infrastructure including all its various facets that are needed by the data exchange applications. In particular, the railML® infrastructure schema contains the following information:

  • Topology. The track network is described as a topological node edge model.
  • Coordinates. All railway infrastructure elements can be located in an arbitrary 2- or 3-dimensional coordinate system, e.g. the World_Geodetic_System#WGS84 (Wiki banner.png)that is widely used by today's navigation software.
  • Geometry. The track geometry can be described in terms of radius and gradient.
  • Railway infrastructure elements enclose a variety of railway relevant assets that can be found on, under, over or next to the railway <track>, e.g. <balise>s, <platformEdge>s, and <levelCrossing>s.
  • Further located elements encompass elements that are closely linked with the railway infrastructure, but that "cannot be touched", e.g. <speedProfile> and <trackCondition>s.

Rollingstock (RS)

→Main Article: Rollingstock

The rollingstock subschema is part of the complete railML® schema providing a data structure in XML (Wiki banner.png) language for the exchange of railway specific data.

The rollingstock schema provides a container for all data about any kind of railway vehicle including locomotives, multiple units, passenger and freight wagons. The second part of the schema enables the combination of single vehicles to formations as a fixed composition within a train or an entire train. It is intended to use this data schema for vehicle management as well as for detailed run-time calculations.

The Rollingstock schema comprises the following features:

  • separate parts for vehicles and for train parts or complete trains
  • possible specification of vehicle families and individual vehicles using the common features of the family
  • different level of detail for data
    • vehicles as black boxes (with respect to dynamic characteristics) with only mean values
    • vehicles as black boxes (with respect to dynamic characteristics) with curves for particular values being variable within the operating range
    • vehicles as white boxes with details about the internal propulsion system
  • vehicles with motive power, for passenger or freight use
  • combination of vehicles to formations, i.e. train parts or complete trains

Timetable and Rostering (TT)

→Main Article: Timetable and Rostering

The timetable subschema is part of the complete railML® schema providing a data structure in XML (Wiki banner.png) for the exchange of railway specific data. It is the subschema that is most widely used.

The timetable subschema is used for all data necessary to exchange any kind of timetable for operational or conceptional purposes including the following information:

  • <operatingPeriod>: The operating days for train services or rostering.
  • <trainPart>: The basic parts of a train with the same characteristics such as formation and operating period. The train part includes the actual information regarding the path of the train as a sequence of operation or control points together with the corresponding schedule information.
  • <train>: One or more train parts make up a train and represent either the operational or the commercial view of the train run.
  • Connections: The relevant connections/associations between trains at a particular operation or control point.
  • <rostering>: Train parts can be linked to form the circulations necessary for rostering (rolling stock schedules).

Common (CO)

→Main Article: Common

The Common class shall cover all topics, which affect all other railML® schemas alike.

The currently planned tasks and enhancements can be found in the railML® 2 ticketing system (link to the railML® website).

Codelists

→Main Article: Codelists

Certain attributes require a choice from a vast, highly standardized but shifting set of values. For instance, there are many regional clearance gauge standards (external link). As to facilitate the usage and update of the sets, this Information is outsourced into codelists outside the railML® schema.

The codelists are identically available for railML® 2 and railML® 3.

Versions

The current railML®2 version is 2.5. For more details see our version timeline (link to the railML® website). An overview of the regarding licenses can be found under https://www.railml.org/en/user/licence.html (link to the railML® website).
