The Geography Mark-Up Language (GML) was developed as the standard language and is emerging as the foundation for Internet GIS. \u003ci\u003eGeography Mark-Up Language: Foundation for the Geo-Web\u003c\/i\u003e provides a broad coverage of the use of GML in different application areas, along with the technical means for building these applications.  \u003cp\u003eStarting from the basic concepts, this book works through all the important topics in both GML 2.0 and GML 3.0, with illustrations and worked examples to demonstrate its use. Organized into two sections, Volume I introduces readers to the new world of GML, and explains how it can be used across a broad range of GIS projects. It deals with the basic concepts of XML and GML, and enables readers to make decisions on the utility of GML in their projects and software acquisitions. Volume II is intended for the technical reader and answers questions on the meaning and structure of GML schema components, the development of GML application schemas, and the use of GML in connection with web services, legacy GIS and relational databases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eContains worked examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers all aspects of GML 3.0 from geometry and topology to units of measure, default styling and coverages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains the Geo-Web and its impact on vertical applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthored by leading figures in GML development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e This book is a must have for GIS vendors, system integrators and data providers; local\/state\/provincial and national government agencies; utilities and telecommunication companies; location-based services companies; data distributors; software developers and technical managers.
