Dear all,

Apologies for my lack of reply so far!

I have noted the need (https://trac.railml.org/ticket/382), and we have discussed it briefly among the coordinators. We are double-checking if any of them could/should already be covered by other metadata fields.

I think it is difficult to implement a hashsum (such as md5) inside the file, as it creates a paradox: it cannot be calculated before the file is generated, but it also has to be put into the DOM before the file is generated. See Dirk's post for more pitfalls. I do like Dirk's suggestion for a convention though. Putting an accompanying file into a zipped package containing the hash sums of the other files is quite common in other situations.

Best regards,
Thomas
