Poor Man's GIS
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is a way of how placemarks and other geographical features can be described. It is not as powerful or sophisticated as the Geographic Markup Language (GML), but it is easier to understand and use and is support as a data format by a variety of Web-oriented services and applications. Flickr, Google Maps, Google Earth all support KML and can use KML for exchanging geographic datasets.
