  Geography Markup Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GML is the XML data standard for the GeoWebinfrastructure, enabling Internet-connected devices to access geographical information, including, for example, merchant locations and traffic conditions.
GML profiles are logical restrictions to GML, and may be expressed by a document, an XML schema or both.
Some other markup languages for geography use schema constructs, but GML builds on the existing XML schema model instead of creating a new schema language, the route taken by languages such as Google's KML.

 GML Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
GML is concerned with the representation of the geographic data content.
GML is based on a common model of geography (OGC Abstract Specification) which has been developed and agreed to by the vast majority of all GIS vendors in the world.
GML can, however, be used in conjunction with languages like Java or C++ to in effect transport geographic behaviour from one place to another.

 Cover Pages: Geography Markup Language (GML)
GML "is an XML grammar written in XML Schema for the modelling, transport, and storage of geographic information; it provides a variety of kinds of objects for describing geography including features, coordinate reference systems, geometry, topology, time, units of measure and generalized values.
The GML 3.0 modular structure means that developers choosing to use GML can literally pick out the schemas or schema components that apply to their work.
GML is thus presented in the form of three profiles as follows: Profile 1: for those who wish to use a pure DTD based solution and are not prepared to develop application specific DTDs, or wish data to be returned against a fixed set of DTDs.

 NSF / NSDL Workshop on Scientific Markup Languages
While markup languages have been established as a good way to link between information objects, their broadest implementation to date occurs in processes that are virtually invisible to most users.
A number of the markup languages discussed at the workshop have rich vocabularies in their structures, but the idea of linking these to a broader knowledge representation, such as to an ontology, is just beginning to be explored.
For markup languages to be used widely in education, it will be important to develop tools and services that can mediate the semantics of markup languages to pedagogical concepts related to developing domain understanding.

 Extensible Markup Language - Civ4Wiki
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a W3C-recommended general-purpose markup language for creating special-purpose markup languages, capable of describing many different kinds of data.
Languages based on XML (for example, Geography Markup Language (GML), RDF/XML, RSS, MathML, XHTML, SVG, MusicXML and cXML) are defined in a formal way, allowing programs to modify and validate documents in these languages without prior knowledge of their form.
A newer XML schema language, described by the W3C as the successor of DTDs, is XML Schema, or more informally referred to in terms of the initialism for XML Schema instances, XSD (XML Schema Definition).

 XML.com: Mapping and Markup, Part 2
In this and in other respects, a "GML document" does not resemble a simple XML document in other vocabularies--in which all the markup belongs to one namespace--but rather like one annotated, say, via RDF.
Rather than "pure" GML documents, therefore, what you tend to see are documents conforming to schemas which have themselves imported one or more of the over thirty schemas which constitute the bulk of the GML spec.
Note the intermingling of GML elements and attributes with those of the "base" application--and note especially that structurally, GML markup is subordinate to the other markup in this simple document.

GML is a large, rich, expressive language designed to have the ability to express any geographic concept in common usage.
Application schemas can be built on specific GML profiles or use the full GML schema set." Basically, profiles and application schemas are smaller subsets of the GML schema designed by a specific information community and tailored to a small number of uses.

 Standard Generalized Markup Language Summary
This language was developed and organized by the International Organization for Standards in 1986 as a means for organizing and identifying elements of a document that are destined to be formatted.
As a markup language, SGML specifies what markup is allowed, what markup is required, and how the markup will be distinguished from text.
An example of a procedural markup is "move the left margin 2 quads left, skip down one line, and go to the new left margin." SGML is not as detailed because those sort of detailed formatting instructions are resident in separate programs, which can be applied to the document in question.

 Internet GIS - XML and GML
GML is a markup language that is based on the XML standard to construct structured spatial and non-spatial information to enable data sharing and interchange over the Web.
As a markup language, SGML defines a specific vocabulary (tags for elements and attributes) and a declared syntax (grammar defining the hierarchy and other features).
The Geography Markup Language (GML) is “an XML encoding for the transport and storage of geographic information, including both the spatial and non-spatial properties of geographic features (GML 2.0, OGC Recommendation Paper, Feb 2001).” It is a recommended standard to encode or markup spatial and non-spatial information in XML format by the OpenGIS Consortium (OGC).

 Standards are key for bigger geographic information systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Keyhole Markup Language is based on — but doesn’t directly support the import of schemas built into — Geography Markup Language.
While the geography language is designed to describe content and relies on other technologies to render that information as graphics or text (including HTML and the Vector Markup Language), Keyhole Markup Language is designed for creating “place marks,” map overlays marked with places that users define, for the Google Earth application.
Geography Markup Language can be used for a GeoWeb application, one that presents geospatial data through a Web client, but the main advantage of Keyhole Markup Language is that it can leverage Google’s geographic search platform.
