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

Famous quotes containing the word application:

    “I conceive that the leading characteristic of the nineteenth century has been the rapid growth of the scientific spirit, the consequent application of scientific methods of investigation to all the problems with which the human mind is occupied, and the correlative rejection of traditional beliefs which have proved their incompetence to bear such investigation.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
