Stage 1 Incubation Proposal: OSCAL4Rail
OSCAL4Rail is an open standard and toolset for making railway governance machine-readable, schema-validated, versionable, and diffable — built on NIST OSCAL.
Summary
OpenRailAssociation/oscal4railWhat it does
Railway companies translate legal requirements (EU TSIs, national regulations) into internal IT governance. Today this is scattered across PDFs — interpreted individually, applied inconsistently. OSCAL4Rail makes these rules machine-readable, deterministic, and AI-agent-ready via a 4-layer framework:
Proof of concept
Working prototype built in 24h at Hack4Rail: Complete OSCAL4Rail implementation for Swiss BS-KI (42 controls, validated against NIST JSON Schema).
Discussed and agreed with @cornelius (Cornelius Schumacher) prior to submission.
