Dear railML-community,

parentRef
In the Norwegian railway sector, we have defined top-level train categories for data exchange. If there is a need to define more detailed categories in addition to the common top-level categories, they can be added. Any new category will be a sub-category of either a top-level category or another organization-specific one and must be linked to their parent category by using newly introduced attribute @nor:parentRef in railML2.4nor. This way, any new category can be traced to one of the top-level categories.

organizationalUnitRef
Additionally, all new categories should declare the organizational unit that has created it. Therefore, we extended the element <category> by another attribute: @nor:organizationalUnitRef.

If these attributes are of interest for more users, we would welcome a discussion for a possible integration in railML2.5. Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Best regards

Torben Brand
