GML Analysis

Now, I know that Charlie means the Web in terms of the neo-geo fast evolution, collaborative development side of things. Here I would agree that we did not specifically design GML with this group of developers in mind, but by restricting (GML is a swiss army knife) these objectives can be met also – just look at GeoRSS GML if you want simple.

this post has most definitely changed my opinion of ron lake for the better.

GML in KML

This makes for an ideal partnership between GML and KML. GML is not about geographic visualization, but about geographic content description. Where KML is “place centric”, GML is “feature centric”. Where KML deals with the presentation of geographic things, GML seeks only to describe them in formal terms, quite apart from their presentation. Of course this means that it is natural to talk about styling GML data, meaning to apply interpretation rules, in order to generate a KML visualization.
