There is a GML Simple Features profile that has been approved for use in the OASIS EM standards. We just finished a small corrigendum to add Circle by Center Point. You can down load the standard from the OGC web site. The schema is the GML schema. A group in Belgium is finishing a Schematron instance for the Simple Features Profile.

Subject: Referenceable Schema for OASIS use of GML in WS
This may have gone by several times—I can be quite dense on occasion.
The smart energy standards currently use KML. I have known this was wrong for some time, but I was waiting for a reference to the GML profile before replacing it.
By GML profile, I am referring to the GML Profile for Web Services developed in use by the Emergency TC. If I am not mistaken, that was going to be published in the last couple weeks. If so, can someone send me the reference so I can replace the KML reference in the EMIX schema with a link to the proper schema.
I also need some advice. In KML, we use the Placemark, a rather simple object that is either a point or a polygon. Within EMIX, we have limited need for features, or terrain, or any number of richer information sources. We may well need those in the wider area of smart energy, but for emix, we need something more akin to “thee west side of town…”. Cany you make a suggestion as to which object from the profiled GML is the one that fits this limited need?
thanks
tc
