The OpenGIS Consortium has developed a new version (2.0) of its Geography Markup Language using W3C XML Schema. Three schema documents are normative - * feature.xsd defines an XML encoding for the OGC/ISO TC211 "Feature" model for geospatial data, * geometry.xsd defines geometry elements <include>d into feature.xsd * xlinks.xsd is a schema for XLinks (actually a placeholder until a definitive version is provided by W3C) and is also used by feature.xsd Guidelines for developing usable application-specific schemas are included as a normative chapter of the specification. A recent vote by the Technical Committee of OGC has elevated GML 2.0 to the status of "adopted technology". Find the specification and schemas with some other supporting material at http://opengis.net/gml/ -- Simon.Cox@dem.csiro.au CSIRO Exploration & Mining T:08 9284 8443 F:08 9389 1906 C:0403 302 672 (Intl +61) http://www.ned.dem.csiro.au/research/visualisation/
