Dear all,

we had already discussed the issue of UIC numbers for vehicles. The major point of discussion was whether the number
will stay with the vehicle during its entire lifetime or changes with the owner/operator. There we couldn't reach
clarification.

This question was of importance as to where storing the UIC-number in the tree. I would prefer to place it under
Classification/Operator because we then have a clear information of the time period the number is assigned to that
vehicle. At the moment the string element <operatorClass> can be used in that sense. However, I woul go for a more
stringent definition which shall be then cover all types of vehicles (wagons and loco).

I will try to provide a proposal on this within the next weeks.

Best Jörg.
