Introduction
This element is used to provide information on which type of operation is being conducted at the enclosing operational point. Below you can see a selection of operational points, each visualized with an exemplary sketch.

Attributes:
- operationalType: operational characterization of the operational point (optional;
xs:string; patterns: other:w{2,}; consider Use of tOtherEnumerationValue too.)
- Possible values:
- depot: also Train stabling yard, a place in the rail network where locomotives, motor units or wagons are parked, cleaned or repaired, often connected to a filling station, washing facility or workshop. DE: Abstellbahnhof/Remise: Bereich im Bahnnetz, an dem Lokomotiven, Triebwagen oder Wagen abgestellt, gereinigt oder instandgesetzt werden, oft verbunden mit einer Tankstelle, Waschanlage oder Werkstatt.
- block: an operational point where the spacing of trains is monitored; can be a block signal (mainly unstaffed and automated) or a block post (mainly staffed)
- siding: an operational point to collect and deliver of cargo wagons to build trains, but not for train operation
- borderPoint: operational point is a border point (e.g. at national border)
- crossover: a connection between two tracks of a double-track line or a change between single-track and double-track on a line, without the possibility of starting, turning or ending trains. DE: Überleitstelle: eine Verbindung zwischen zwei Gleisen einer zweigleisigen Strecke oder ein Wechsel zwischen Eingleisigkeit und Zweigleisigkeit/Doppelspur auf einer Strecke, ohne Möglichkeit des Beginnens, Wendens oder Endens von Zügen.
- junction: joining/branching of two lines, this also applies when two lines meet at a national border and connect directly.
- station: a normal operational point in the railroad network with usually at least one switch and one or more tracks where trains may start, end, cross or turn. DE: Bahnhof: eine gewöhnliche Betriebsstelle im Bahnnetz mit üblicherweise mindestens einer Weiche und mehr als einem Gleis, wo Zugfahrten beginnen, enden, ausweichen/kreuzen oder wenden dürfen.
- stoppingPoint: an operational point without signals, switches, additional tracks where trains stop e. g. for passenger exchange (sometimes they are allowed to turn for ending and starting too). DE: Haltepunkt/Haltestelle: eine Betriebsstelle ohne Weichen, zugehörige Signale oder zusätzliche Gleise, an denen z.B. Fahrgäste in Züge einsteigen oder diese verlassen (manchmal wenden hier auch Züge). Hinweis: der deutsche Infrastrukturbetreiber DB InfraGO verwendet die in Österreich und der Schweiz gebräuchliche Bezeichnung "Haltestelle" in einem anderen Zusammenhang, um die räumliche Verbindung eines stoppingPoint mit einem siding auszudrücken.,
- trafficType: Defines the type of traffic for this operational point. Since most types of operational points defined by operationalTypes already implicitly have a traffic meaning, not all value combinations are technically meaningful (usually only for station and possibly stoppingPoint). (optional;
xs:string; patterns: other:w{2,}; consider Use of tOtherEnumerationValue too.)
- Possible values:
- freight: The operational point is mainly used by stopping freight trains, other uses are also possible. There are no passenger transport facilities.
- operational: The prevailing traffic occuring at this operational point is IM's internal traffic regulation (e.g. crossing or overtaking of trains; no use for passenger nor goods traffic).
- passenger: The operational point is mainly used by stopping passenger trains, but other traffic uses are also possible. Typically, there is at least one usable platform.
- shunting: The operational point is used exclusively for shunting and parking trains and wagons (e.g. in a depot or a workshop). There are no train movements except to serve this operational point.

*Notice:
Elements may have different parent elements. As a consequence they may be used in different contexts.
Please, consider this as well as a user of this Wiki as when developing this documentation further.
Aspects that are only relevant with respect to one of several parents should be explained exclusively in the documentation of the respective parent element.
