This note will deal with the simple geometry profile of GML discussed in the previous note. The intention of this profile is to provide a simple introduction to GML and to provide users such as geotaggers, geobloggers and others that . . . → Read More: Simple GML Geometry

Before we look at the Simple Geometry profile of GML, a short discussion of geometry is required. In GML, objects have characteristics some of which may be geometric. We can talk about the extent of a Lake, the position of . . . → Read More: Simple GML Geometries

Official GML profiles are now being widely discussed and it is more or less a certainty that some of these will be official OGC specifications in the coming months. Remember that GML was intended to be profiled and that a . . . → Read More: Some Simple GML Profiles

Much has been written about the utility of geotagging – meaning the attribution of location or extent to a web page. This essential bit of metadata was part of the original Dublin Core proposals along with author, title and so . . . → Read More: Geotags – the answer to everything?

In a previous note we introduced the concept of GML Observations. Observations can be used to record everything from tourist photographs to scientific measurements. An Observation might also be used to capture the acquisition of an aerial photograph or satellite . . . → Read More: GML Observations and Features
