Organisation
railML.org was founded on the 24th of April, 2002 as a cooperation of interested partners. Since 2012 railML.org is a registered association by German law (local court Dresden VR 5750). It is aimed at serving the whole railway sector and is fully independent from railways, manufacturers and authorities. By decree of the Saxonian Revenue Office Dresden South, the railML.org e.V. is recognized as non-profit and especially worthy of support. Donations and membership fees are tax deductible in Germany.
Currently two coordinators, Eng. Vasco Paul Kolmorgen MSc and Nadia Huerlimann PhD MSc, are in charge of the main and governance coordination of the work of railML.org. In order to get state of the art knowledge in the different schemas, four schema coordinators from competence centers in the industry support the main coordinators. They are responsible for the organisation of the further development of railML® in the working groups of their specific subschema. Anyone interested in long term cooperation with railML is invited to join these working groups. Currently a variety of nationalites, organisations and businesses are part of this development process. The adminstrative work is centralized in Dresden/Germany.
Twice a year the railML community meets for a general meeting to discuss the interdisciplinary development. The specific work is based on an internet forum.
