This feels like a comparison of two quite different kinds of thing.

GML is a data format standard (albeit associated with rich, complex,
professional data).

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative mapping project (although it's data
might be available in various formats, and it probably has to deal
with donations in those formats too).

What kind of comparison or relationship are we looking for here? eg.
how OSM data looks in GML, whether CityGML adds anything for the kind
of data OSM has, ...?

cheers,
