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.

Additional Information
Notes
Since the railway network topology in railML 3.x is based on RailTopoModel elements <netElement> and <netRelation>, the <track> has no topologic dimension. Considering the <track> as a pure NetEntity derived object that is placed on top of a topology, the track does not have to be defined that strictly. It is possible to allow for a weaker definition, too.
