Dev:Codelists

railML^® provides a number of XML codelists. From version 2.3 onwards, they are organized and actualized separately from the schema. Your railML^® download will usually contain the codelists in a directory codelists, next to documentation and schema. The separation of schema and codelists allows actualizing the codelists in very short cycles.

Current codelists

The current codelists are:

InfrastructureManagers

The list contains infrastructure managing companies. The items are named <infrastructureManager> with the following specification:

• Attributes
  • code: a code, that should be referred to from within an railML file, typically a short name for the infrastructure manager in latin letters. It links the railML^® element <infrastructureManager> with the code list.
• Children
  • <name>: The company name, with attribute
  • <isoCountryCode>: The two-digit country code of the company according to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2.
  • <companyCode>: Company codes according TAF TAP TSI B.8 or UIC IRS/leaflet 920-1:2006.

Registers

A list of registers, databases, handbooks etc. The items are named <register> with the following specification:

• Children
  • <description>: Internationalized name of the clearance gauge.
  • <validFor>: Gives indication, whether the clearance gauge is valid for only a national, several national or all TSI-compliant networks.

TrainProtectionSystems

List of train protection systems. It provides two container elements for track bound systems and train bound systems respectively:

• <trainProtectionSystemsAtTrack>: Container for train protection systems, installed "at the track"
  • <trainProtectionSystem>: Single entries for each train protection system, installed "at track"
    • Code: A code that should be referred to from within an railML file, typically a short name for the train protection system in latin letters.
    • <name>: Name of the system.
    • <validFor>: If the code for the system differs between vehicle and track installation, put the mapping in this container element.
      • <vehicleSystem>: Train protection system code of the according vehicle system.
• <trainProtectionSystemsOnVehicle>: Container for train protection systems, installed "on the vehicle"
  • <trainProtectionSystem>: Single entries for each train protection system, installed "on vehicle"
    • code: A code, that should be referred to from within an railML file, typically a short name for the train protection system in latin letters.
    • <name>: Name of the system.
