In RailML, we have different attributes and elements for roles:
- "owner" in InfraAttrGroups and "ownerChanges", both used for tracks
- "manufacturer" and "operator" (element) for vehicles,
- "operator" (attribute) for trainParts
I think it would be wise to introduce a dedicated type for "roles" and
provide slots for id references at the appropriate locations. Maybe a
string enumeration type would work for the names of the different roles.
Even better, we could provide container elements as used in the vehicle
classification everywhere.

Andreas Tanner.

Yes, it's done in different ways across the subschemas.

I try to figure out, what you want to get. The following XML snippets
try to show your wishes. Please correct me, if I'm wrong with my
implementation.
<infrastructure>
...
<infraAttributes>
<owner id="im_12345" name="Die Bahninfrastruktur"
role="infrastructureManager"
uicNumber="foo"/>
..
<track>
...
<ownerChange id="im_54321" name="Schweizerische Bahn"
role="infrastructureManager"
uicNumber="bar"/>
...
</infrastructure>
<rollingstock>
...
<vehicle>
<classification>
<manufacturer id="m_123" name="Bombardjee"
role="manufacturer"
serial_number="123.456.78"/>
<operator id="o_123" name="EmErCeE-DispoLok"
role="rollingstockOperator"
class="baz"
startDate="2012-01-01" endDate="2012-12-31"/>
...
</rollingstock>
<timetable>
...
<trainPart>
<operator id="op_123" name="Der Bahnbetreiber"
role="railwayUntertaking"/>
...
</timetable>
My first step is some clarification, afterwards I would comment it.
Thanks for your idea and kind regards...

Hi,
what about something like this:
Fragment from schema:
<xs:simpleType name="RoleName">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:enumeration value="InfrastructureManager"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Operator"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Contractor"/>
<xs:enumeration value="Manufacturer"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
Usage in document:
<role id="001" roleName="InfrastructureManager" owner="BrokenTracks"
uic="foo"/>
<role id="002" roleName="Operator" owner="SpeedyRailways" uic="xxx"/>
<role id="003" roleName="Contractor" owner="AtYourServiceCorp" uic="yyy"/>
<role id="004" roleName="Manufacturer" owner="SteamCoach" />
....
<infraStructure>
....
<infraAttributes><roleref ref = "001" startdate="..." ... </infraAttributes>
....
</infraStructure>

Hi,
basically I don't see a problem to have one type <role> for this. However, we
have to bear in mind that this type must have all the particular attributes
required for each role, e.g. startDate+endDate for "Operator" but not
necessarily for "Manufacturer".

Thank you Jörg, for pointing this out.
This more general approach (a new 'role' element) leads us to loose the
control of the context-specific content (specific attributes).
We would have to ensure that the 'infrastructureManager' is only used
inside the IS-sub-schema and so on. That's not possible with XML Schema
1.0 syntax. We would need additional constraints, e.g. Schematron rules.
My first thought was to enrich the roles by contact data. But maybe it's
too much detail, that's actually already captured otherwise.
Andreas, you would like to have some "role catalogue" outside the
sub-schema for collecting all roles, wouldn't you? How about using XSL
or XQuery for such a task with the knowledge of each possible occurence
in the sub-schemas?
Aahh ... I saw, you bound two roles to the 'trainPart' element. That's
really a good point. Let's look, if there are more than one possible
role across the schemas. If there are problems (like the attribute in
<trainPart>) let's file a ticket about it and change it in the near
future.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards...
Susanne

Hi Andreas and others,
How about this topic? I want to resume the discussion.
I currently don't see a generic "role-list" for railML 2.2 as there are
already different positions in the railML-tree for this purpose (not in
a separate list).

Do you need some additional "contractor" at the 'trainPart' level?
Other opinions, comments, remarks...?

We currently use the following roles on the trainPart level:
- contractor (Auftraggeber)
- subcontractor (Fremdunternehmer)
- concessionaire (Konzessionsinhaber)
- operator (Betreiber)
All of these come with attributes like address, phone number, licence
number, etc.
That's why, and because the possible roles vary for different users, I
would prefer to model these as separate and referable entities. This
wouldn't be a breaking change, so why not do it for the next minor release?
Best, --Andreas.

Dear Susanne and Andreas,
> Other opinions, comments, remarks...?
If it is deemed necessary to keep the addresses, phone numbers a.s.o. of
such companies in RailML, I would also (like Andreas) not repeat them at
each <trainPart> nor <vehicle>. So, I agree that we should create a
central "address" list and make cross-references (ref's) to that list _if_
we want to handle them in RailML.
Since there are more possible kinds of companies as
> - contractor (Auftraggeber)
> - subcontractor (Fremdunternehmer)
> - concessionaire (Konzessionsinhaber)
> - operator (Betreiber)
(possibly "Aufgabenträger" but also "catering contractor...") I would
prefer not to have pre-defined elements for them at <trainPart>. Rather, I
could imagine a general enumerable list of "<contractor>" or "<partner>"
with an attribute for "kind of contractual relationship" =
Aufgabenträger/Auftraggeber/Subauftragnehmer/Caterer...
Probably we will first introduce this principle at <trainPart> but later
extend it for <vehicles>, IMs, TOCs. So the "central address list" (list
of "roles") should probably not be situated at <timetable>.
Best regards,
Dirk.

If there is a need for such data I would use an already existing XML
Schema integrated into the current railML structure, like done with
MathML in the rollingstock sub-schema. I don't want to re-invent the
wheel of contact data. ;-)
For all kinds of address data the XML Schema of HR-XML [1] would be a
good starting point, e.g.
<PersonName>
<FormattedName>Andrea Johnson</FormattedName>
<oa:GivenName>Andrea</oa:GivenName>
<FamilyName>Johnson</FamilyName>
</PersonName>
<Communication>
<Address>
<oa:AddressLine sequence="1">2341 Oaks Court</oa:AddressLine>
<oa:CityName>Clear Springs</oa:CityName>
<oa:CountrySubDivisionCode>GA</oa:CountrySubDivisionCode>
<CountryCode>US</CountryCode>
<oa:PostalCode>30127</oa:PostalCode>
</Address>
</Communication>
<Communication>
<ChannelCode>Telephone</ChannelCode>
<UseCode>Personal</UseCode>
<oa:CountryDialing>1</oa:CountryDialing>
<oa:AreaDialing>404</oa:AreaDialing>
<oa:DialNumber>2234421</oa:DialNumber>
</Communication>
<Communication>
<ChannelCode>MobileTelephone</ChannelCode>
<UseCode>Personal</UseCode>
<oa:CountryDialing>1</oa:CountryDialing>
<oa:AreaDialing>404</oa:AreaDialing>
<oa:DialNumber>2211041</oa:DialNumber>
</Communication>
<Communication>
<ChannelCode>Email</ChannelCode>
<UseCode>Personal</UseCode>
<oa:Text>aj2341(at)aolcom</oa:Text>
</Communication>
Otherwise we could re-use the ISO 19139 (Geographic Metadata) [2]
<gmd:pointOfContact>
<gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty>
<gmd:individualName>
<gco:CharacterString>Dagobert Rechtbild</gco:CharacterString>
</gmd:individualName>
<gmd:organisationName>
<gco:CharacterString>Erhebungsfirma "Wir können das am besten", Standort Puntigam,

</gmd:organisationName>
<gmd:positionName>

</gmd:positionName>
<gmd:contactInfo>
<gmd:CI_Contact>
<gmd:phone>
<gmd:CI_Telephone>
<gmd:voice>
<gco:CharacterString>+43-316-2345-876</gco:CharacterString >

</gmd:electronicMailAddress>
</gmd:CI_Address>
</gmd:address>
<gmd:contactInstructions>
<gco:CharacterString>Dienstag bis Donnerstag in Graz. Restliche Zeit im Außendienst.</gco:CharacterString>
</gmd:contactInstructions>
</gmd:CI_Contact>
</gmd:contactInfo>
<gmd:role>
<gmd:CI_RoleCode
codeList=" http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO _19139_Schemas/resources/CodeList/gmxCodelists.xml#CI_RoleCo de"
codeListValue="originator">originator</gmd:CI_RoleCode>
</gmd:role>
</gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty>
</gmd:pointOfContact>
Anyway there would be some separate container element for contact
information. Their single entries will be referred from some elements
like already proposed by Andreas.
If there are less information the above examples shrink to less lines of
code.

That would be a railML-extension to the above proposed more general
contact data sets.

These detailed contact information with their roles should not be given
and repeated at the trainPart's or vehicle's level. I agree.
I currently don't understand the need for the distinction between
"contractor" and "partner". I mean a "caterer" is always a
"contractor". Maybe I misunderstand something here.

+1
I would introduce this separated list in the "common railML area" after
the <metadata> element with the next major release and revise all
current XML tree positions for contact data in that change.
How strong is your need for this extension, Andreas? Do you need a
quick&dirty solution that will be discarded with the next major release?
I filed a Trac ticket for this issue in order to not forget it. [3]
Currently I can't implement anything because of the multiple
proposals. Let's find a common agreement. :-)
Kind regards...

Dear all,
this issue has moderate urgency. Currently, we use a set of proprietary
attributes and in fact, these are even customer-specific since the roles
and their understanding vary between different railway companies.
The contact data is not the main concern, rather the possibility to
define the legal values that a role can take (the "existing" caterers
etc.), without additional schemas. But once we have a container, we
could as well provide full features, and the idea of using an external
existing scheme for contact data looks great.
I would not object postponing this issue for the next major release.
Best, Andreas.

Anyway I try to figure out an XML solution that may fit with your
requirements, following the current way to define railML structures
(with most possible explicit constraints to validate with an XML
validator).

My proposal:
New container element in the "Common part" <companies> with specified
child elements that may be referred from within the <trainPart>.
<railml>
<metadata> ...
<companies>
<vehicleOperator id="vo1" name="" startDate="" endDate=""/>
<vehicleManufacturer id="vm1" name=""/>
<infrastructureManager id="im1" name=""/>
<railwayUndertaking id="ru1" name=""/>
<concessionaire id="cc1" name=""/>
<contractor id="cr1" name="" role="catering" subLevel="1"/>
<otherCompany id="" name=""/>
</companies>
...
<timetable...>
...
<trainPart...>
...
<companyBinding>
<railwayUndertaking ref="ru1"/>
<contractor ref="cr1"/>
</companyBinding>
</trainPart>
...
</timetable>
</railml>
Any comments appreciated.
Kind regards...

Thanks for this proposal, it looks good. I would not use the term
"company", though, as often, organizational units (within some company,
or public authority) are meant. So I would prefer <organizationalUnit>,
<otherOrganizationalUnit>, etc.
I'm not sure whether we really need a hierarchical model of roles. I
would be happy if only the <otherCompany> gets a role - attribute and
leave the contractor without.
I'm also not sure about the dates. If these dates are anchored in the
common part, I would understand that the /licence/ or similar of those
units is restricted. But probably, what one wants to restrict is the
/binding/. So I would move the restriction to that location.
Best, Andreas.

I go with your renaming advice.
Additionally would rename 'companyBinding' to 'contractBinding'.

I had two aspects in mind, one would be a sub-contractor like already
proposed by Dirk, the other is that a 'contractor' is a really general
term suitable for all kinds of contract bindings.
So I would drop the "otherCompany" or "otherOrganizationalUnit".

Yes, thanks for pointing this out. Let's drop the dates, too.

I really prefer the pre-defined element list with the background of
systematic XML validation options.

I already asked for the difference between 'contractor' and 'partner'
but got no satisfactory answer.
>> Aufgabenträger/Auftraggeber/Subauftragnehmer/Caterer...
If you need the appropriate element names which you already offered in
German, I give it a try:
Aufgabenträger: Transport organisation authority (AOT)
Auftraggeber: Customer
Subauftragnehmer: Subcontractor
Caterer: Caterer :-)
I would, of course, extend the element's list with these names if they
really match the needed semantics.
Please ask further for any open points.
Kind regards...

The requirement of a date was brought in by Joerg von Lingen. I would
not drop it but anchor it with the binding. Otherwise, to me the
proposal looks fine. We should agree on a list of "predefined" roles
(the subelements of <organizationalUnits>) that are sufficiently
general, including their German pendants and a description for the wiki.
Here is a suggestion:
contractor (Auftraggeber) : The authority or enterprise that ordered the
transportation service, i.e., an integrated transit system
railwayUndertaking (Verkehrsunternehmen) : The undertaking that is
commercially responsible for the service
vehicleOperator, in IVU language this would be subcontractor
(Fremdunternehmer) : The railway undertaking that operates the vehicle,
if different from the one that is responsible for the commercial service
- concessionaire (Konzessionsinhaber) ?? Not sure, we use it for bus
transport.
- operator (Betreiber) - the unit that is responsible for the
operational planning of this service
infrastructureManager (Infrastrukturbetreiber) ...
vehicleManufacturer (Fahrzeughersteller) ...
Best, Andreas.

Hi,
let me summarize the current discussion. You are suggesting a subelement
below <trainPart>:
<timetable...>
...
<trainPart...>
...
<organizationalUnitBinding>
<railwayUndertaking ref="ru1"/>
<contractor ref="cr1"/>
<concessionaire ref="cc1"/>
<vehicleOperator ref="vo1"/>
<operator ref="op1"/>
<infrastructureManager ref="im1"/>
<other:somethingElse ref="se1"/>
</organizationalUnitBinding>
</trainPart>
...
</timetable>
</railml>
The other possibility suggested by Dirk would look like:
<organizationalUnitBinding>
<organizationalUnitBinding type="railwayUndertaking" ref="ru1"/>
<organizationalUnitBinding type="other:somethingElse" ref="se1"/>
</organizationalUnitBinding>
I would prefer the first way of describing, because the types of
organizationalUnitBindings are quite fixed and both methods are
expandable. Its also better to have separated lists for the
railwayUndertakers and operators etc. instead of one giant list of
organizations with an additional type to distiguish between catering
companies and raiway undertakers.
If there is a consense I could implement the timetable part within 2.2 (or
within 2.x).
Kind regards,
Joachim

I just implemented this proposal. [1]
The dates for the vehicle operator binding should better stay at the
"vehicle", not at the "vehicle operator".

Contractor is a very general term for both sides: costumer and supplier.
-> renamed to "customer", keeping the above explanation
> railwayUndertaking (Verkehrsunternehmen) : The undertaking that is
> commercially responsible for the service
+1
> vehicleOperator, in IVU language this would be subcontractor

Operator is a very general term for each kind of operation and hard to
distinguish from the "railwayUndertaking". -> renamed to
"operationalUndertaking", keeping the above mentioned explanation
> infrastructureManager (Infrastrukturbetreiber) ...
+1
> vehicleManufacturer (Fahrzeughersteller) ...
+1
Added "contractor" as generic enhancement with additional "role" and
"subLevel" attributes for "catering, cleaning... bindings".
References to this elements will be implemented in a specialized way in the
sub-schemas. [2]
Any comments appreciated.
Kind regards...

One question, that came to my mind regarding this list is:
Do we really need an "infrastructureManager", a "vehicleManufacturer"
and a "vehicleOperator" binding in a "trainPart" as just implemented
[1] and partly proposed by myself [2]?
I mean - no.
* The "infrastructureManager" binding should be defined in the
Infrastructure sub-schema for each "track" and/or "line".
It anyway may differ for one "trainPart".
* The "vehicleManufacturer" and "vehicleOperator" binding should be
defined in the Rollingstock sub-schema for each "vehicle".
It anyway may differ for one "trainPart".
That would leave the following contract bindings for the "trainPart":
* customer
* railwayUndertaking
* operationalUndertaking
* concessionaire
* contractor (general usage)
* any (extensions)
Any comments appreciated.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the quick reply.
It is the last issue, that is planned to be implemented for the "railML
2.2 Release Candidate 1".

I see, we talk about different "vehicle operators". I try to clarify my
point of view. Please, correct me, if I mix other contract bindings
here.
* The "vehicle operator" in the Rollingstock sub-schema should be the
company that is the "owner" of the vehicle.
* The "vehicle operator" in the Timetable sub-schema may be the company
that provides the transport service with the vehicle.
Such a use case with different wagons and locos did happen at the
beginning of this timetable period in December 2012:
RE4 of the ODEG: [1]
The wagons and loco of this "fixed formation" had different "vehicle
owners", but are operated by one "vehicle operator" for this service.

We are getting closer. The proper binding list for a trainPart now looks
like that:
* vehicleOperater
* customer
* railwayUndertaking
* operationalUndertaking
* concessionaire
* contractor (general usage)
* any (extensions)
Kind regards,

Indeed the real world provides a nice example. I suggested [2] the
vehicleOperator as an equivalent to the IVU subcontractor
(Fremdunternehmer), so the binding would be to the timetable subschema.

The usage in the rolling stock schema also makes sense to me.
Best, Andreas.

Thanks for the clarification.
So I would introduce a "vehicleOwner" element in the metadata block for
the Rollingstock binding in order to minimize confusion. That may be
used the following way:
<rollingstock...>
<vehicle...>
<classification>
<operator vehicleOwnerRef="" operatorClass="" startDate="" endDate=""/>
</classification>
</vehicle>
</rollingstock>
The "vehicleOperator" for the Timetable sub-schema stays unchanged.
Any comments appreciated.
Kind regards...
