KML

Keyhole Mark-up Language. An XML based language, for modelling and storing geographic features such as points, lines, images and polygons. KML is used by Google Earth as a means for allowing developers to extend the number of layers (of information) that can be displayed by Google Earth. KML files have the file extension .kml.
