ERA Ontology
This is the human and machine-readable Ontology governed by the European Union Agency for Railways (https://www.era.europa.eu/). It represents the concepts and relationships linked to the sectorial legal framework and the use cases under the Agency´s remit, as described in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) [to be updated after publication] on the common specifications for the register of railway infrastructure [to be updated after publication]. Currently, this Ontology covers the European railway infrastructure and the vehicle types authorized to operate over it. It is a semantic/browsable representation of the RINF application guide (1) and ERATV application guide (2) that were built by domain experts in the RINF and ERATV working parties. The Ontology also includes the route book concepts described in appendix D2 "Elements the infrastructure manager has to provide to the railway undertaking for the Route Book" as presented in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) [to be updated after publication] 2019/773 of 16 May 2019 on the technical specification for interoperability relating to the operation and traffic management subsystem of the rail system within the European Union and [to be updated after publication] and the Appendix D3 [to be updated after publication].

The canonical URI is defined for each instance of an Infrastructure element, e.g. section of line, operational point, track, tunnel, siding. Objects of the infrastructure generated through RML mappings include (when provided) their validity start and end dates. With its identifier, plus all identifiers of its "parent" elements, and its validity dates, a hash URI is generated. The canonical URI is the element's URI with its identifiers and without the validity dates. All of the hash URIs of an element point to its canonical URI. Additionally, SoLs point to the canonical URIs of their start OP and end OP.

European Train Control System (ETCS) level
The different ERTMS / ETCS application levels are a way to express the possible operating relationships between track and train. Level definitions are principally related to the track side equipment used, to the way the track side information reaches the on-board units and to which functions are processed in the track side and in the on-board equipment respectively. If ETCS is on the trackside (one or more levels are selected), all other ETCS parameters (from 1.1.1.3.2.2 to 1.1.1.3.2.10) are applicable and mandatory to be populated with values . If the line is only equipped with Class B, this should be reflected in Parameter 1.1.1.3.5.3, and this parameter is “N”(not applicable). The ETCS value NTC is only relevant when the line is dual equipped with ETCS (i.e., balises are placed in the track) and Class B system, and both systems are in operation at the same time. In those cases, this parameter should be filled relevant ETCS Level and repeated with the value NTC.

Classification of a line according to the TSI INF
Category of line
If a line is operated by passenger trains with speed of 250 km/h, local commuter trains with speed of 120 km/h and heavy freight trains in the night, then the best combination of traffic codes seems to be P2, P5 and F1. Then, the TSI category of line for this case would simply be P2-P5-F1.
INF TSI (4.2.1) classifies lines based on the type of traffic (traffic code). TSI categories of line shall be used for the classification of existing lines to define a target system so that the relevant performance parameters will be met. The TSI category of line is a combination of traffic codes. For lines where only one type of traffic is carried (for example a freight only line), a single code can be used to describe the requirements; where mixed traffic runs the category will be described by one or more codes for passenger and freight in case of two types of traffic. Then the parameter is repeated if relevant. The combined traffic codes describe the envelope within which the desired mix of traffic can be accommodated. Technical scope of the INF TSI includes all the networks (TEN and off-TEN) for nominal track gauges 1435, 1520, 1524, 1600 and 1668 mm. It is not applicable when track is not included in technical scope of the TSI. When more than one value of the parameter has to be published, then parameter has to be repeated as many times as many values of the parameter will be published.

Running track generic information
The value of this parameter is an instance of the era:LoadCapability class which consists of 2 properties: - era:loadCapabilityLineCategory - as a taxonomy of load models representing line category - era:loadCapabilitySpeed - integer for the value of speed [km/h] permitted for a specific load model For RINF XML data sets: As long as the data provision through XML data sets is allowed, the data format is: [CCCC] [NNN], where: - [CCCC] is a single selection from the predefined list of load models representing line category - [NNN] is the value of speed [km/h] permitted for a specific load model.
Relates the track with the class LoadCapability. A combination of the line category and speed at the weakest point of the track.
Load capability
The set of selected data may include: B2-160, D4-120 and E5-100 When classifying infrastructure lines into line categories, the following options shall be used by the infrastructure manager to optimize freight traffic: Option 1: determination of the line category at maximum freight traffic speed (maximum 120 Km/h) Option 2: determination of a line category at an associated lower speed (less than the maximum freight traffic speed) Example of option 1 (Annex F of EN 15528:2021): In a given track, if the traffic is mixed, the local speed of the line is 90 Km/h and the determined line category is D4 at a maximum of 90 Km/h, the information displayed should be: D4/90. Example of option 2 (Annex F of EN 15528:2021): In a given track, if the traffic is mixed, the local speed of the line is 120 Km/h and the determined line category is C4 at a maximum of 120 Km/h and D4 at maximum of 90 Km/h, the information displayed should be: C4/120 and D4/90.
At this step, RINF does not allow to enter additional data referred to additional speed regulations and operating requirements relating to locomotives (e.g., locomotive classes and associated maximum speed) or traffic types (e.g., maximum speed of freight traffic or passenger traffic). The load capability describes the weakest point of this track within this section of line (which is normally a bridge or other sub-track structure). It is expressed as a combination of the line category and speed permitted for trains exerting loads defined for this line category. The result of the classification process is set out in EN 15528:2021 (Annex A) and referred to in that standard as Line Category. The Load capability for UK in respect of Northern Ireland consists of RA and speed in miles per hour. RA shall be applied according to UK Railway Group Standard GE/RT8006, Issue Two, September 2010. More than one combination may be published for the same track if applicable, but it has to be done by repetition of the parameter with one value selected only that is why Y is given in line Can be repeated. For the following cases, it is not possible to use EN 15528:2021 categories of line classification: - TSI categories of line P1520 and F1520 (passenger traffic or freight traffic at any speed) - TSI categories of line P1600 and F1600 (passenger traffic or freight traffic at any speed) When more than one value of the parameter has to be published, then parameter has to be repeated as many times as many values of the parameter will be published.
Track parameters
A value is mandatory only if 1.1.1.2.4.1.1 parameter "Phase separation" value is "Y" (true), otherwise applicability flag is "N" (not applicable)
In RDF the range is an instance of the era:PhaseInfo class with all its properties. For RINF XML data sets: As long as the data provision through XML data sets is allowed, the data format is a character string with the following structure: distance type [MIN/MAX] + length [NNN] + switch off breaker [Y/N] + lower pantograph [Y/N] + km [NNN.NNN]. The structure of the string is as follows: - distance type [MIN/MAX] - single selection of 'MIN=minimum' or 'MAX=maximum' to show whether the length is a minimum distance between the inner contact strips of the pantographs or a maximum distance between the outer contact strips of the pantographs. Multiple strings for this parameter are accepted; - length [NNN] - the length of the phase separation in meters; - switch off breaker [Y/N], single selection of 'yes' or 'no' to show whether the breaker has to be switched off; - lower pantograph [Y/N], single selection of 'yes' or 'no' to show whether the pantograph has to be lowered, - Km [NNN.NNN] - the location from the start of the line where the new value is valid.
Relates the Track with PhaseInfo. Indication of required several information on phase separation.

Sequence of gradient values and locations of change in gradient
Gradient profile
Data on the values of gradient along a SoL is given as a chain of information: Gradient (location) The first location corresponding to the start of the first value of the gradient is the centre point of start OP. If there are different values of the gradient, the parameter will be repeated. The last location will correspond to the point where the last value of the gradient starts. This value will be available until the centre point of the end OP. If there is only one value for the gradient along the track, then the location is not required, only the +/-NN.N value is expected. Gradient is expressed in mm/m; location is expressed in km of the line. Positive gradient (uphill) is marked with "+" and negative gradient (downhill) is marked by "-". The sequence shall follow the increasing kilometres of the line, and this does not take into consideration the running direction of the specific track. This will make the profile easier to read. Changes in gradient shall be registered only as far as necessary for train running calculations (minimum length of constant gradient shall be 500 m, the minimum change of gradient value shall be 0,5 mm/m). The required precision for gradient value is 0,5 mm/m, the required precision of location of the points of change of gradient is 10 m.

Regulation (EU) 2019/773 says: Specific case: Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain and UK may continue to apply notified national rules that require freight trains to be equipped with 2 steady red lights as a condition to run on sections of their network, where this is justified by operating practices already in place and/or national rules notified before end of January 2019. Cooperation with neighbouring countries: In the meantime Member States concerned, in particular at the request of the railway undertakings, shall perform an assessment with a view to accept the use of 2 reflective plates in one or more sections of their network if the result of the assessment is positive and define appropriate conditions, which shall be based upon an assessment of the risks and operational requirements. This assessment shall be completed within a maximum period of 6 months after receiving the railway undertaking's request. The acceptance of reflective plates shall be granted, unless the Member State can duly justify the refusal based on the negative result of the assessment. Member States shall in particular endeavour to permit the use of reflective plates on rail freight corridors, with a view to prioritise the current bottlenecks. These sections and details of any conditions pertaining to them shall be recorded in the RINF. Until the information is encoded in RINF, the infrastructure manager shall ensure the information is communicated to railway undertakings by other appropriate means. The infrastructure manager shall identify the sections of lines on which 2 steady red lights are required in the RINF.

Linear Element
This class represents an edge in the topological graph. It represents a linear element in the network.
Represents a section of a linear element.
Linear Element Section
A linear element section is a finer granularity of a linear element, representing a specific portion of it. This concept is introduced to address the cases when a linear element needs to be split such as a part of it is used by a net referencing (more in the paragraph describing the positioning on the network). By using start and end offsets measured from origin of the element in ascending order, sections eliminate the need for intrinsic coordinates and instead rely on distances along the linear element.
Represents a linear positioning system used for referencing positions on the network. It can also represent a sequence of one or more sections of line, used for regular railway operations.
Linear Positioning System
Represents coordinates in a linear positioning system.
Linear Positioning System Coordinate
Frequency, appearance and positioning of a sign indicating distance as reference post. Two types of signs are normally available: kilometre post and hectometre post. - A kilometre post is a lineside sign indicating the distance from a specific point, usually being the starting point of the railway line. - A hectometre post is a lineside sign indicating a relative distance.
Lineside indications of distance
A combination of the line category and speed at the weakest point of the track. Each track can have several load capability (structured) values, and each one has values for load model line category and load model speed.
This class together with properties loadCapabilityLineCategory and loadCapabilitySpeed replaces the previous loadCapability SKOS property.
At this step, RINF does not allow to enter additional data referred to additional speed regulations and operating requirements relating to locomotives (e.g., locomotive classes and associated maximum speed) or traffic types (e.g., maximum speed of freight traffic or passenger traffic). The load capability describes the weakest point of this track within this section of line (which is normally a bridge or other sub-track structure). It is expressed as a combination of the line category and speed permitted for trains exerting loads defined for this line category. The result of the classification process is set out in EN 15528:2021 (Annex A) and referred to in that standard as “Line Category”. It represents the ability of the infrastructure to withstand the vertical loads imposed by vehicles on the track for regular service as a combination of Line Category with a permitted speed according to EN 15528:2021 More than one combination may be published for the same track if applicable, but it has to be done by repetition of the parameter with one value selected only - that is why 'Y' is given in line 'Can be repeated'. For the following cases, it is not possible to use EN 15528:20021categories of line classification: - TSI categories of line P1520 and F1520 (passenger traffic or freight traffic at any speed) - TSI categories of line P1600 and F1600 (passenger traffic or freight traffic at any speed)

Example: tracks, tunnels, bridges, platform edges etc.
It is used for infrastructure elements positioned in relation to the topology as a line, or along a path. (e.g.: tracks, bridges, platform edges, etc.)
Represents a point reference in the network.
Net Point Reference
It is used for infrastructure elements positioned in relation to the topology as a point. (e.g.: signals, ETCS balises, buffer stops, etc.)
Defines a relation between two elements.
Net Relation
Connectivity and the navigability between consecutive linear elements are resolved by using net relations. It models how different elements are related to each other, representing a transition from one element to another. Net relations specify where two linear elements connect. This could be at the origin of one element, the end of another, or even at specific offsets along their lengths. For example, two tracks might connect at a junction, with one ending at offset 1500 and the other beginning at offset 0. NetRelation explicitly models these connections by linking two linear elements (elementA and elementB) and defining their physical or logical relationship. Net relations also specify the permitted directions of travel: • AB: Trains can move from element A to element B. • BA: Trains can move from element B to element A. • Both: Movement is bidirectional. • None: No movement is allowed between the two elements. To make this even more precise, net relations include information about whether the connection is at the origin of each element. For example, a relation might indicate that Track A ends at its origin (offset 0) and connects to Track B at its start (isOnOriginOfElementA and isOnOriginOfElementB).
Represents a non-linear element in the network.
Non-Linear Element
Non-linear elements complement the linear structure by serving as connection or interaction points. They represent features such as stations, depots, or complex junctions. They often serve as aggregation points for linear elements, where multiple tracks meet or like logical entities that support operations like passenger boarding or train storage. These elements may optionally aggregate linear elements.
An operational point (OP) means any location for train service operations, where train services may begin and end or change route, and where passenger or freight services may be provided; operational point also means any location at boundaries between Member States or infrastructure managers.
Operational Point

Primary Location is a place used by IM to define a path for a train in TAF/TAP TSI framework/messages. This location is a rail point inside the rail network where train starts, ends, stops, or runs through or change line. This location must be managed by an Infrastructure Manager (IM) identified by company code. Primary locations are identified by single and unique Primary Location codes. Primary location code is allocated based on processes defined by national entity. Primary location codes are used in any kind of TAF/TAP communication. See: Handbook 9.3.3 / page 60
Primary Location
Primary locations are for example: stations, yards, halts, handover points, border points, open access terminals.

As for different speeds different combinations of number of pantographs and distance between them may exist, so this class can be repeated to present all of them.
List of reference border points that are specified in the RINF Application Guide.
Reference border point
A running track means any track used for train service movements; passing loops and meeting loops on plain line or track connections only required for train operation are not published
Running track
There might be more than one track within the Section of Line, so then the whole set of data for track has to be repeated for each track within the SoL.
A section of line means the part of line between adjacent operational points and may consist of several tracks.
Section Of Line
Each network shall be described using as many SoLs as necessary. Each SoL is generated and identified by OP IDs at start and at end. A SoL only belongs to one Line.
Sidings are all those tracks where running trains in service movements ends and which are not used for operational routing of a train.
Siding - Any track(s) within an operational point which is not used for operational routing of a train.
A railway signal is a visual display device (next to the tracks or via a DMI in the cabin) that conveys instructions or provides advance warning of instructions regarding the driver's authority to proceed.
Apparatus by means of which a conventional visual or acoustic indication is given, generally concerning the movements/movement authorities of railway vehicles.
Encompasses all those areas (outside of the operational gauge) or sections (those in tunnels excluded) which influence operation in the gauge itself, such as - safe areas, - restricted areas (non-stopping areas or industrial risk locations). For these areas in tunnels, use era:SpecialTunnelArea.
Special area
Non-stopping Area: Area defined by the Infrastructure Manager where it may not be safe or suitable to stop a train. Safe Area: Area defined by the Infrastructure Manager where it is safe or suitable to stop and evacuate a train. Industrial Risk Area: locations where it is dangerous for the driver to step out.
Area or location within a tunnel where there are: - a safe area: a walkway, evacuation and rescue points; - a restricted area (non-stopping area or industrial risk location in a tunnel).
Subsidiary location must be linked to a Primary Location and specifies in more detailed way part, attributes, or usage of Primary location. It may be also a non-rail point or a rail point that is not managed by an Infrastructure Manager (IM). It may be defined by entity having company code according to their needs. The Subsidiary location is optional and dependent upon business needs.
Subsidiary location
A unit of track comprising two fixed rails (stock rails) and two movable rails (switch rails) used to direct vehicles from one track to another track.
Switch
Indication of required several information on system separation.
System separation info
The union of TemporalDuration that represents a time extent and TemporalEntity that represents a temporal interval or instant.
Temporal Feature
Represents a topological coordinate.
Topological Coordinate
A pair of rails over which rail borne vehicles can run.
Safety system used to detect the presence of vehicles on the railway track.
Train Detection System
A railway tunnel is an excavation or a construction around the track provided to allow the railway to pass for example higher land, buildings or water.
A railway tunnel is an excavation or a construction around the track provided to allow the railway to pass for example higher land, buildings or water. The length of a tunnel is defined as the length of the fully enclosed section, measured at rail level. A tunnel in the context of this TSI is 0.1 km or longer. Where certain requirements apply only to longer tunnels, thresholds are mentioned in the relevant clauses.
A specific vehicle or wagon able and allowed to operate over railway infrastructure.
Vehicle
(deprecated) Vehicle Keeper
A vehicle type that has been authorized to operate on the EU railway infrastructure. Type means a vehicle type defining the basic design characteristics of the vehicle as covered by a type or design examination certificate described in the relevant verification module. Basic design characteristics means the parameters that are used to identify the vehicle type as specified in the issued vehicle type authorisation and recorded in the European Register of Authorised Vehicle Types ('ERATV'). The above mentioned certificate should be documented using era:certificate.
