Thank you Dirk for providing the DB Netz list of types of "organisational units" for slot ordering.

I have also received documentation from ERA for the definition of organisational units for TAF/TAP. Thank you Stefan Jugelt for providing the information!

NB! This forum post was initially meant to only define the exisiting organisational Units terms in railML2 in a more precise manner. This new information bellow can lead to a complete redesign of the organisational units. This is not a bad thing. But I reccomend doing this in railML3.


The actors of the TAF TSI are defined in the chapter 1.6 of the TAF TSI Technical document TAF TSI - ANNEX D.2 : APPENDIX C - REFERENCE FILES ( https://www.era.europa.eu/sites/default/files/filesystem/taf /technical_documents/baseline_2.5.0/era_technical_document_t af-td-103_d_2_appendix_c.pdf )

Here is the definition for the different types of actors addressed in the TAF TSI:

"COMPANY" ACTOR
Company identifies any actor in the transport chain, notably any Company, directly or indirectly involved in rail traffic or having a business relationship with one or more of such companies not being a customer. The definition of Company comprehends the following as defined in the TAF-TSI.
- Customer;
- IMPartner;
