Organisation

railML.org was founded on 24th April 2002 as a cooperation of interested partners. Since 2012, railML.org is a registered association by German law (local court Dresden VR 5750). The organisation aims to serve 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 recognised as non-profit organisation worthy of charitable contributions. Donations and membership fees are tax deductible in Germany.

Eng. Vasco Paul Kolmorgen MSc and Nadia Huerlimann PhD MSc, lead the coordination of the work at railML.org and its governance. To ensure the state-of-the-art knowledge across the four schemas, our lead coordinators are supported by schema coordinators from competence centres across the industry. They are responsible for driving forward the development of railML® and are supported by the relative subschema working group. Anyone interested in long-term involvement with the development of railML is invited to join these working groups. They are formed of individuals, organisations and businesses from a variety of countries and are vital to the development of railML. Organisation administration is centralised in Dresden, Germany.

The railML community convenes twice a year for a general meeting to discuss interdisciplinary development. Specific work is conducted through an internet forum.
