BY RON LAKE
In the “GIS world,” there’s much talk about spatial data, but most of the problemsinvolve spatio-temporal information. Spatial objects typically evolve through time, and temporal evolution is critical in almost all application domains, ranging fromdisaster management (e.g., tracking a hurricane or tsunami path) to national security […]
GeoWorld: Markup Languages and Google Earth Enable the GeoWeb
November 2005
In 2005, Google Earth was introduced to the desktop. The new service offered highperformance access to a global information base of geographic imagery and maps integrated with a "slick," easy-to-use interface. Suddenly the game had changed. All at once, consumers and the general press discovered the world of geography andgeographic imagery. Articles have appeared […]
JavaWorld.com: OO, XML, and GML: Are angle brackets a flexible modeling material?
Using XML comfortably among objects
By Milan Trninić, JavaWorld.com, 09/05/05
XML's emergence did not initially make our lives easier—at best, they did not change much. We quickly started writing our many data formats using angle brackets, which looked neat, but did not make much of a difference. But, over the years, many new XML-based specifications with disparate […]

RON LAKE, president, Galdos Systems Inc.;e-mail: rlake@galdosinc.com
The release of Geography Markup Language (GML) 3.0 in 2003 greatly increased the scope of applications that GML could deal with by adding components to support real-time sensors, coverages (including imagery), topology, time and dynamic […]
GeoWorld: Profiles Make GML Easier to Swallow
September 2005
The release of Geography Markup Language (GML) 3.0 in 2003 greatly increased the scope of applications that GML could deal with by adding components to support realtime sensors, coverages (including imagery), topology, time and dynamic features as well as adding a large number of new geometric types. As a result, GML now is beingapplied […]
