GML (Geography Markup Language) is an OGC standard that is also an ISO
standard. GML is an XML grammar based for the modeling and interchange of
geospatial content (or content with a geospatial property). KML, also an OGC
standard, is designed for visualization of geospatial content in earth browser
systems. KML was not designed as an content interchange mechanism - although
folks do so. One issue to be aware of is that KML has no concept of "feature".
GML does.

Is OGC GML based? It would seem that way
based on the agenda comment.
One of the
controversial parts of EMIX (meaning comment generating) is that among
other things, a price node can be swapped for a geographic area. This allows a
message to change from “Your price (at your meter) will go up 50% this
afternoon” to “the price will go up for everyone in Marin County”
this afternoon. This is actually communicated using the OGC specification KML.
KML is, among other things, used to pin things on Google Earth.
The OGC is directly
engaged in the Emergency Communications groups in OASIS. See the note below. Perhaps
we should be using this profile instead of KML. I must confess, that I am not
very sure of the differences…

Teleconference this morning at noon Eastern, 10 AM Central, 9 AM Pacific
Just a reminder that the GIS SC will teleconference today. The main
agenda item is a motion to recommend the use of GML Simple Feature profile to
the full TC for use in OASIS standards.
The number is 800-320-4330, pin 132435
