GML Application Schemas

Geography Markup Language provides the basis for domain- or community-specific "Application Schemas", which in turn support data interoperability within a community of interest. Application schemas are normally designed using ISO 19103 conformant UML, and then the GML Application created by following the rules given in Annex E of ISO 19136.

Following is a list of known, publicly accessible GML Application Schemas.

  • AIXM Aeronautical Information eXchange Model ( see http://aixm.aero - Commercial Aviation Related Schema)
  • CAAML - Canadian Avalanche Association Markup Language
  • CityGML - a common information model and GML application schema for virtual 3D city / regional models. Direct link to the CityGML homepage.
  • Climate Science Modelling Language (CSML)
  • DAFIF - defense aviation
  • GeoSciML - from IUGS Commission for Geoscience Information
  • GPML - the GPlates Markup Language, an information model and application schema for plate-tectonics, from a consortium led by the EarthByte e-research project at the University of Sydney, Australia
  • LandGML - a GML implementation equivalent to LandXML
  • NcML/GML - NetCDF-GML
  • Observations and Measurements schema for observation metadata and results
  • OS MasterMap GML
  • SensorML schema for describing instruments and processing chains
  • SoTerML schema for describing Soil and Terrain data
  • TigerGML - US Census
  • VMAP - land defense data
  • Water Quality Data Project from Dept. of Natural Resources, New South Wales
  • Darwin Core GML application schema. An implementation of the Darwin Core schema in GML for sharing biodiversity occurrence data.

Famous quotes containing the word application:

    “It is known that Whistler when asked how long it took him to paint one of his “nocturnes” answered: “All of my life.” With the same rigor he could have said that all of the centuries that preceded the moment when he painted were necessary. From that correct application of the law of causality it follows that the slightest event presupposes the inconceivable universe and, conversely, that the universe needs even the slightest of events.”
    —Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
