ERA vocabulary
This is the human and machine readable Vocabulary/Ontology governed by the European Union Agency for Railways. It represents the concepts and relationships linked to the sectorial legal framework and the use cases under the Agency´s remit. Currently, this vocabulary covers the European railway infrastructure and the vehicles authorized to operate over it. It is a semantic/browsable representation of the [RINF](https://www.era.europa.eu/sites/default/files/registers/docs/rinf_application_guide_for_register_en.pdf) and [ERATV](https://www.era.europa.eu/sites/default/files/registers/docs/iu-eratv_application_guide_for_register_2016-797_en.pdf) application guides that were built by domain experts in the RINF and ERATV working parties.

It is a subclass of the geographical class Feature that has a spatial representation. It covers sidings, tracks, platforms, tunnels, operational points, and sections of line. A feature that has been physically implemented can be abstracted (hasAbstraction) as a topological object. It also is related to the infrastructure manager through the property infrastructureMgr.

A comma-separated representation of a latitude, longitude coordinate.
The relation between something and the point, or other geometrical thing in space, where it is. For example, the realtionship between a radio tower and a Point with a given lat and long. Or a relationship between a park and its outline as a closed arc of points, or a road and its location as a arc (a sequence of points). Clearly in practice there will be limit to the accuracy of any such statement, but one would expect an accuracy appropriate for the size of the object and uses such as mapping .
