Hello,

I want to store track descriptions including ETCS-components like Balises or
Loops. In order to stick to a "standard" and to stay compatible with other
programs, I thought of using RailML.

But after reading the documentation for 0.93 and the schema-file for
0.94_12, I got the impression that there are no XML-elements for trackside
components like Balises, etc. Am I wrong?
(Even browsing this newsgroup, I couldn't get a hint regarding this topic).

Does the development of RailML focus on the "pure track" and are Balises
therefore beyond the scope of RailML or was there simply no need for those
elements up to now?

Of course I could save the information about the Balises in a separate file
and indentify them via line-IDs and km-Positions, but having them directly
in the RailML-file seems more "naturally" to me.

If there's a way to save Balise-positions and (at least) Balise-IDs in a
RailML-compatible way, please tell me!

Thanks in advance for your help and best regards from Braunschweig
Volker Knollmann

P.S.: Are there fragments of a 0.94-documentation available? I take
everything, including gaps, errors, typos, missing pictures and broken
links... ;-)

Hello,

Balise and Loop positions will be considered in the next "official" release
of the schema, which will be avilable in the middle of December.
The RailML Infrastructure schema has a focus on the "pure track" but the
positions of signals, balises, etc. will be considered. The "signal logic"
will not be considered in V1.0.

Sorry of answering so late

with best regards
