5 JML object - format specification
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.1 Overview
Every JML object is self-descriptive. No external information (like filename or type specification) is required to reference and access a JML object and to present it to the user. An JML object consists of the "header section" followed by the "content section". The size of a JML object is limited to 4 092 bytes. This s...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.2 Header section
The header section of a JML object consists of a mandatory "standard header" and an optional "extended header". The standard header comprises the object ID and the object description. The presence of an extended header is indicated as part of the service signalling (see clause8.1.2). If present, it has an equal size fo...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.3 Content section
The content section of a JML object contains text information to be presented on screen, and may contain escape sequences to implement extended functionality. The text information carried in the content section is formatted according to [7] in UTF-8 encoding. The content section of every JML object is structured by JML...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.3.1 JML codes
An JML object's content section is divided into logical blocks of information (e.g. title, body text) by JML codes. Every block is started with a type specific JML code and ended by: • the JML code "end", • the occurrence of another JML code (starting a new block and thereby implicitly ending the previous), or • the en...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.3.2 Escape Sequences
An JML object's content section may carry any number of escape sequences to introduce text formatting information and rendering hints (e.g. highlighted text, preferred line breaks, etc.) as well as additional functionality. A receiver is free to evaluate the content and meaning of escape sequences. If a receiver is not...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.3.2.1 Escape sequence 'extended codes'
Extended codes allow the extension of the range of available escape sequence codes by another 256 values. If an 'extended code' exists in a "begin" and an "end" version (e.g. to signal the start and end of a special formatting rule), then the same extended code value is used: To start the sequence it is preceded by the...

Data sections shall completely be discarded by a r...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
5.3.2.3 Data section "general link target" structure and content
The data section's DS type value 0x03 defines a general link target, i.e. a target that may be presented/activated if the user explicitly request to proceed ("hot button" for user interaction). General link targets may be defined for all types of JML objects. The availability of any general link target for the currentl...

6.2 TOC - "Table of Contents"
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
6.2.1 Overview
Blocks of management data carrying TOC ("Table Of Contents") information are called "TOC blocks". They are intended to support the receiver's caching strategy by listing all JML objects currently broadcast in the Journaline service along with their revision. Each description of a JML object is called "TOC entity". A re...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
6.2.2 TOC block layout
A TOC block consists of: • the mandatory TOC standard header; followed by • the optional TOC extended header; followed by • the mandatory list of TOC entities (each TOC entity describing one JML object). Every TOC block has the following layout. Parameters of the TOC standard header: • Management data block type 8 bits...

7 Expected receiver behaviour
Some general rules apply to Journaline compliant receivers.
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.1 Mandatory functionality
Support for the following functionality is a minimum requirement for a Journaline compliant receiver: • The standard header of a JML object must fully be interpreted. If the extended header is present and its content cannot be interpreted, the extended header shall be discarded. • Deflate decompression for the content ...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2 Recommended functionality
A Journaline compliant receiver should support as much of the Journaline functionality as possible according to its screen and user interface capabilities. A Journaline compliant receiver does not need to evaluate escape sequences or management data, with the exceptions stated in clause 7.1. The following behavioural d...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.1 User history
The receiver should keep a record of all object IDs traversed by the user from the root object (object ID 0x0000) or an alternative point of entry object ID (on initial access of the Journaline service) to the currently presented JML object (the history path). In this way it can easily provide a "back to previous menu"...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.2 Content update behaviour
An update to a cached version of a JML object (with identical object ID) can for example be identified by a different revision index or object size. If a JML object with a certain object ID is currently presented to the user when an updated version is received, it should be signalled to the user that an updated version...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.3 Reception status indication
If the user selects a link item of a menu object which points to a JML object that is not yet available in the receiver's cache, the user may need to wait for the target JML object's next reception. This may take some time and should be indicated to the user (e.g. by presenting a "receiving - please wait" text or icon)...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.4 Favourites functionality
The "favourites" functionality greatly enhances the Journaline functionality perceived by the user by enabling the user to store certain JML objects for quick and direct future access. This storage does not refer to the content of the JML object, but to its object ID, i.e. when recalling the favourite, then the current...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.5 Object caching strategy
A Journaline compliant receiver does not need any caching support to present a fully functional Journaline service to the user. Only the currently presented JML object must be decoded (and possibly decompressed) in memory before being presented on screen. Whenever the user requests to proceed to a different JML object ...
9d982214be3c7410e2ea0fb1241c159b
102 979
7.2.6 Support for text to speech engines
Journaline as a low-profile text based information service is an ideal basis for text-to-speech synthesis on sophisticated high-end receivers. Text-to-speech guiding information is optionally available in a JML object in form of data section escape sequences (see clause 5.3.2.2). • "Default language" defines the genera...

4.1 Basic concept
Railway traffic management is a safety and quality of service critical related operation; therefore, redundancy in the core network is required in order to cope with MSC single outages. This redundancy functionality is required in case of unplanned external events (as e.g. earthquakes, fire, terrorist attacks) as well ...
