KML
KML (Keyhole Markup Language)
is an XML-based language for managing three-dimensional geospatial data
in the program Google Earth (previously
called Keyhole before it was bought up by Google). KML files are often
distributed as KMZ, zipped KML files. The KML file specifies a feature
(a placemark, image, or polygon) for Google
Earth. It contains a basic description of the place, longitude,
latitude, tilt and other information (such as a specified camera view).
KML shares some of the same structural grammar as GML
Example KML document
