Using railML®

The community will help you getting started with railML®. Feel free to use the following support tracks:

  • The railML®-Wiki is the core mean of documentation. A collection of Users and Developers Guides (e.g. how to contribute to this wiki) can be found here.
  • If our wiki leaves any questions unanswered, join our Forum (link to the railML® website), where railML® developers and users can exchange their experiences and discuss problems or enhancements.
  • Meet other Users, the developers and the coordinators on a railML.org conference. Conferences are ordinarily held twice a year. Please, watch our calendar (link to the railML® website) for obtaining information about the next event.
  • Certify your interface. While you can use railML® in island solutions e.g. for exercise, in most cases productive use aims at and depends on exchanging data with other units (another application; another division within your company; another corporation). As to grant for a smooth operation, the licence demands you to certify your interface if you use it productively (thus afield, exchanging data with others). The procedure is sketched here (link to the railML® website).
