View source for Dev:Codelists

{{rml}} provides a number of XML '''codelists'''. From version 2.3 onwards, they are organized and actualized separately from the schema.  Your [[Dev:Downloading and using railML|{{rml}} download]] may contain the codelists in a directory ''codelists'', next to documentation and schema. These codelists reflect the state of the codelists at the time of the publication of the respective {{rml}} version.

If your download does not contain our codelists (as is usual in {{rml|3}}) or if you need the most current codelists, you can retrieve them from {{site|https://development.railml.org/railml/shared/-/tree/master/codelists}}
==Concept==
The code lists are intended to address certain frequently used entities with a single code, as to avoid repetitious work as well as ambiguity errors. For instance in {{rml|2}}, using {{tag|CO|infrastructureManager|organizationalUnits|wiki=2}}, you can address the {{wiki|Austrian Federal Railways}} (ÖBB) with their code ''ÖBB'': <infrastructureManager code=ÖBB>. In this way, you inherit all information that is collected about the ÖBB in the code list, in this case name, country code and company code:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<infrastructureManager code="ÖBB">
  <name>ÖBB Infra</name>
  <isoCountryCode>AT</isoCountryCode>
  <companyCode>0081</companyCode>
</infrastructureManager>
</syntaxhighlight>
Moreover, the separation of schema and codelists allows actualizing the codelists in very short cycles.

==Missing entries==
Are you missing an entry? Did you find a mistake? We try to serve you with current, comprehensive and correct code lists and will try to add necessary entries as soon as possible. The actualization of the code lists does not follow the usual {{rml}} {{site|1=https://www.railml.org/en/version-timeline|2=actualization cycles}} but happens in short terms.

* Inform the {{rml}} common coordinator about a missing, incomplete or faulty entry — see {{coordinators}} for the contact data.
* The coordinator will check your supplements and, where appropriate, include them into the regarding code list.
* The actualized codelists are published at {{site|https://development.railml.org/railml/shared/-/tree/master/codelists}}.

==Current codelists==
The current codelists are:
===InfrastructureManagers===
{{main|Dev:InfrastructureManagers|Codelist InfrastructureManagers}}
The list [[InfrastructureManagers.xml]] contains infrastructure managing companies. The items are named <infrastructureManager> with the following specification:
*Attributes
**{{attr|code}}: a code, that should be referred to from within an {{rml}} file, typically a short name for the infrastructure manager in latin letters. In {{rml|2}}, it links the {{rml}} element {{tag|CO|infrastructureManager|organizationalUnits|wiki=2}} with the code list.
*Children
**<name>: The company name, with attribute {{attr|}}
**<isoCountryCode>: The two-digit country code of the company according to {{wiki|ISO 3166-1 alpha-2}}.
**<companyCode>: Company codes according TAF TAP TSI B.8 or UIC IRS/leaflet 920-1:2006.

For an example entry see [[#Concept]].

===Registers===
{{main|dev:Registers|Codelist Registers}}
The file [[Registers.xml]] contains a list of railway related registers, databases, handbooks etc. The items are named <register> with the following specification:
*Attributes
**{{attr|code}}: A code, that should be referred to from within an {{rml}} file
*Children
**<name>: Internationalized name of the operation or control point register
**<organization>: Organization name that is responsible for the register
**<remarks>: Internationalized remarks for the operation or control point register

===TrainClearanceGauges===
{{main|dev:TrainClearanceGauges|Codelist TrainClearanceGauges}}
[[TrainClearanceGauges.xml]] delivers a list of {{wiki|Loading_gauge|clearance gauge standards}}. It provides data related to a particular train clearance gauge class. The items are named <trainClearanceGauge> with the following specification:
*Attributes
**{{attr|code}}: A code, that should be referred to from within a {{rml}} file, typically a short name for the train clearance gauges in latin letters
*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 {{wiki|Technical_Specifications_for_Interoperability}}-compliant networks.

===TrainProtectionSystems===
{{main|dev:TrainProtectionSystems|Codelist TrainProtectionSystems}}
[[TrainProtectionSystems.xml]] delivers a list of {{wiki|Train_protection_system|train protection systems}}. It provides two container elements for track bound systems and train bound systems respectively:
====At track====
*<trainProtectionSystemsAtTrack>: Container for train protection systems, installed "at the track"
**<trainProtectionSystem>: Single entries for each train protection system, installed "at track"
***{{attr|code}}: A code that should be referred to from within a {{rml}} 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.
====On Vehicle====
*<trainProtectionSystemsOnVehicle>: Container for train protection systems, installed "on the vehicle"
**<trainProtectionSystem>: Single entries for each train protection system, installed "on vehicle"
***{{attr|code}}: A code, that should be referred to from within a {{rml}} 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.
****<trackSystem>: Train protection system code of the according track system.
