==Structure ({{rml|3}} Wiki==
In the {{rml|3}} wiki, The pages are created via GWPS<ref name=gwps>GWPS = Gruschwitz' Wonderful Phython Script</ref>. GWPS will for each element create a ''hand page'' where that are supposed for content created by the wiki authors (best practice, notes etc) and a ''robot page'' that contains information directly retreaved from the schema and that the wiki authors should generally not touch. The robot page will be framed within the hand page.
===Paragraphs ''Hand Pages''===
Hand pages are created by GWPS<ref name=gwps /> with [[Template:DocBase]] (which will be expanded by creation). Template:DocBase creates the following paragraphs:

Structuring Guidelines for Element Pages
 

Focus

This page explains, how to structure an element documentation page within The railML® 2 wiki. A General outline for contibuting to this wiki can be found here. If you want to start contributing to this wiki, please begin with this outline.

Currently (April 2020) not all parts of the railML® 2 wiki contain all descriptions in the correct section. Please be indulgent and support us in maintaining the Wiki.
Derzeit enthalten nicht alle Teile des railML® 2 Wikis alle Beschreibungen im richtigen Abschnitt. Bitte seien Sie nachsichtig und unterstützen Sie uns bei der Pflege des Wikis.

Purpose

Element pages in The railML® 2 wiki are being created with template Template:ElementDocu. Employing this template grants for a standardized design. The templat specifies the paragraphs of element pages. Please, enter the relevant information for the element in the designated paragraphs according to the rules set below. This clearcut structure serves two aims:

  • It helps users to find relevant information.
  • This structure sets a frame for the certification.

Structure

In the railML® 2 wiki, element pages are made by hand with Template:ElementDocu.

Template:ElementDocu creates the following paragraphs:
(But some of them only, if used)

  • Position of XYZ in the XML-Tree:
    • Shall contain the position of the element in the XML tree.
    • Generated manually by the coordinator straightforward from the schema. Please do not edit.
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Multiplicity:
    • Shall contain the element multiplicity.
    • Generated manually by the coordinator straightforward from the schema. Please do not edit.
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Semantics:
    • Shall contain the element semantics.
      (the meaning of an element, compare semantics (Wiki banner.png)).
    • Example: <balise> is defined as a single balise and its attributes, where a balise is an electronic beacon or transponder placed between the rails of a railway as part of an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system.
    • This paragraph is developed by the railML® community.
    • Should only state the meaning of the element.
    • No rules or explanations should be presented here. Concise remarks like “not to be confused with” are allowed, if they narrow down the meaning.
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Attributes:
    • Shall contain the attribute semantics.
      (the meaning of an attribute, compare semantics (Wiki banner.png)).
      The attribute semantics will usually refer to the respective element semantics and explain, how the attribute can influence the meaning of the element.
    • Example: <balise>@dir explains, that a balise may be relevant only for one direction.
    • This paragraph is developed by the railML® community.
    • Do not place rules or explanations here. Concise remarks like “not to be confused with” are allowed, if they narrow down the meaning.
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Syntactic constraints:
    • Shall contain syntactic constraints set within the schema.
    • Generated manually by the coordinator straightforward from the schema. Please do not edit.
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Semantic constraints:
    • Shall contain semantic constraints.
    • Semantic constraints should be added only by the subschema coordinator or in reconcilement with him (the procedure is explained here).
    • Certification: Compliance with the description in the Wiki is relevant for fulfilling the requirements.
      Zertifizierung: Die Übereinstimmung mit der Beschreibung im Wiki ist relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben.
  • Best Practice/Examples:
    • Shall contain best practices; national rules and peculiarities as well as code examples.
    • This paragraph is developed by the railML® community.
    • Certification: This information is not directly relevant for compliance with the specifications and is intended to assist in understanding railML®.
      Zertifizierung: Diese Angaben sind nicht direkt relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben und sollen beim Verständnis von railML® unterstützen.
  • Open Issues:
    • Shall contain open discussions and unsolved problems. Not to be used as discussion board (use https://forum.railML.org (link to the railML® website) instead; links to the forum discussion are welcome) nor as ticket system (use the ticket system instead; links to tickets are welcome).
    • This paragraph can be edited by the railML® community.
    • Certification: This information is not directly relevant for compliance with the specifications and is intended to assist in understanding railML®.
      Zertifizierung: Diese Angaben sind nicht direkt relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben und sollen beim Verständnis von railML® unterstützen.
  • Notes:
    • Shall contain anything that does not fit into other paragraphs.
    • This paragraph is developed by the railML® community.
    • Certification: This information is not directly relevant for compliance with the specifications and is intended to assist in understanding railML®.
      Zertifizierung: Diese Angaben sind nicht direkt relevant für eine Erfüllung der Vorgaben und sollen beim Verständnis von railML® unterstützen.
