I know what you mean about different applications of XML. However, can
a single file or format serve both needs? KML is an output format and
used in many programs but it can be viewed as a map description format
as well: it can point to multiple datasets, access dynamic web services
and WMS,
John,
You're starting to think about two different applications of XML. I was
interested in setting up the XML to reflect the typical MapFile contents and
use the XML for the Map generation out of MapServer. KML is a output format
option, that would be output by MapServer, (possibly using th
Hi Bob and All,
I would support having an interface in mapserver that would provide
low level access to the object hierarchy, like:
typedef struct object_info {
char* name;
void* value;
char* type;
int index;
} objectInfo;
objectInfo* GetNextSubItem(objectInfo* object);
By using this, e
Is it possible to allow MapServer to use KML, or a variation thereof?
I really don't what would be entailed. For example, KML can store
coordinates for displaying vectors, which would be pointless in our
context. Can KML point to shapefiles or tables for vectors like it can
point to TIFs fo

Hi Bob,
YES, by all means do move to XML. I think this would be a very important
step forward (and my first guess is it would be not too complicated, but you
never know...).
I do see how some might be attracted to having an DB storage too, but I
would urge you to always have that as an alternati
All,
We've been pondering some sort of alternative to the Mapfiles for a few years
now. A preferable approach would be something that could be stored in a DB in
some fashion for querying/assembly processes. It seems on the surface like a
DB schema could be developed to handle the MapFile sto
