GIS in XML

Here's a little bit about this blog in the author's own words:

"Since the 1980's I've been fascinated with computer graphics, especially as applied to maps. I started Micro Map & CAD in 1989 writing software for map data format conversions. After several years providing translation software and vector data for use in CAD and GIS packages, I began working with online mapping tools. The advent of w3c XML graphics with SVG in 1999 opened the online world to rich graphics interfaces including maps. Declarative XML graphics received a big boost when Google introduced KML as a custom XML map grammar for use with the popular Google Earth tool. Beginning in 2006 Microsoft unveiled their XML graphics approach called XAML and later WPF. WPF adds integrated GUI widgets and 3D scene building to the online XML graphics world. Silverlight leveraged XAML for web applications and the introduction of Bing Maps Seilverlight control makes Silverlight a flexible platform for Bing Maps development. It is now easier than ever to build rich map clients and leverage OGC compliant web services to produce new browser based mapping tools."
