Geography Markup Language (GML)

Geography Markup Language (GML) is an XML-based standard format used to describe, transmit, and store geographic information and spatial data. It enables different computer systems and applications to share and understand geographic features like maps, boundaries, roads, and terrains in a consistent way. GML incorporates detailed geographic information with attributes, making it useful for applications such as geographic information systems (GIS), urban planning, and environmental monitoring. Its flexible and extensible structure ensures that complex spatial data can be accurately represented and exchanged across diverse platforms and organizations.
