This reference (GDF) does not really belong here. While the other references are actually about GML, this is only a peripheral reference [this comment moved from page content into talk] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.32.5.17 (talk • contribs) 2006-01-23 05:44:58 (UTC)

[edit] Mergefrom Cgml and GML Application Schemas

I'm suggesting that these should be merged into this article as they are currently stubs that seem to only be relavent to this article (they are only linked from here). If these stub articles gain some real content here, they can always be moved back out. – Doug Bell talk•contrib 22:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


Not happy about merging Application Schemas page. The topic of application schemas is the always neglected corollary of the GML framework. It usually gets buried in the GML encoding swamp, and that is effectively where you have pushed it again. Yes, the GML Application Schemas page was a stub, but an important statement of intention. Furthermore, in merging, the one link to a publicly available application schema (GeoSciML - https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/twiki/bin/view/CGIModel/GeoSciML) has been lost! Just because no-one else appears to be willing to tell the world about their community, you shouldn't suppress information previously provided. Not happy at all.

I would be grateful if you would revert this change and re-instate the GML Application Schemas page - my Wikipedia skills are unfortunately not up to this, and I can;t find the page any more. dr_shorthair 03:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC) a

[edit] Incosistent usage of the srsDimension attribute

The srsDimension attribute is used incosistently in the samples. Its first usage is:

<gml:Point gml:id="p21" srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.6:4326">

  <gml:pos dimension="2">45.67 88.56</gml:pos>

</gml:Point>

where dimension is an attribute of the gml:pos element; and then in the sample for the Point Profile, we see:

<position>

 <gml:Point srsDimension="2" srsName="urn:ogc:def:crs:EPSG:6.6:4326"> 
   <gml:pos>49.40 -123.26</gml:pos>
 </gml:Point>

</position>

where srsDimension is an attribute of the gml:Point element. I believe this is the correct one.
