[Random Nodes] KML Spec Bizarro? « Random Nodes: do I exclude the atom:link element from my KML, do I include the element and settle for a generic relationship, or do I intentionally break compliance with the OGC specification.  Tough choice.

[Entries for Sean Gillies Blog] kml:description considered harmful: KML is already open to Atom elements (version 2.2 already includes atom:author, atom:link, and atom:name) and so atom:content is a more natural replacement for kml:description than RSS 1.0's content element or RSS 2.0's enclosure element. I'm not in a position to offer any advice to Google, but -- considering its investment in Atom, to act on the commonalities between KML and Atom seems useful and even profitable.

[ProgrammableWeb] 3 Top Data Formats for Map Mashups: KML, GeoRSS and GeoJSON: Earlier this year, Google released KML as an open standard that was adopted by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). You can read up on the latest spec for KML (version 2.2 at present) or learn more about how to integrate KML with the .

[Entries for Sean Gillies Blog] Sean Gillies Blog: XML doesn't have any native sense of a "link", but Atom does -- if you use the link tag, you are creating a link (when using some extension tag, though, it's unclear if you are linking or not). It's a link because the Atom specification (itself built on the XML syntax) defines it as a link.

[Feed-Squirrel.com] Geo standards on the web: KML is also on its way to become a standard for the geo-web. KML covers much complexer drawing and is already supported by a number of apps, most prominently Google Earth and Nasa Worldwind.

[High Earth Orbit] A Proposal - GeoRSS & KML :: High Earth Orbit: Within a GeoRSS file, the entire feed, or channel, can link to the content in type=”text/html” and type=”application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml”.

[Luke's Weblog] Lecture 5 (Week 6) - Glossary: Vocabulary of Terminology: It relies on Extensible Markup Language (XML) as its message format and usually relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and HTTP for message negotiation and transmission. SOAP forms the foundation layer of the web services protocol stack providing a basic messaging framework upon which abstract layers can be built.As a layman’s example of how SOAP procedures can be used, a SOAP message could be sent to a web service enabled web site, for example, a house price database, with the parameters needed for a search.

[XML Aficionado] XML Aficionado: Google Earth with photo-realistic 3D buildings: Similarly, add the KML extension and specify that it is XML conformant. Now you can open all KMZ files in XMLSpy, see the files contained in the package, and directly open the KML file to view the XML markup it contains (this is just the beginning of the file):

[High Earth Orbit] KML 3 Kick-off, Module: Core :: High Earth Orbit: GML provides for specifying the coordinate reference system (CRS), but for KML it is currently assumed to be EPSG4326 - that is to say, what you probably normally use for your map applications and off of your GPS receiver. Later I’ll put up a full comparison between all the current KML geometry markup and its comparable markup in GML.

[Symbian-Guru.com] Ms. Jen Proves NokiaviNe Might Be OK | Symbian-Guru.com: This is what Lifeblog got / gets really right on the mobile app, which is the ability to not only post the content to the co-promote company (Typepad) but also to add your own blog into the blog settings section. If Nokia discontinues the Lifeblog mobile app, I would like to see them Open Source the code so that I, or any other dev, can take it and improve it and keep it going out in the big wide world.
