FAQ
GML to JP2 Conversion
What are GML files?
GML (Geography Markup Language) is an XML-based language for describing geographic features, developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and adopted as the international standard ISO 19136. A GML file is readable text in which every object on a map, such as a building, a road, a lake, or a boundary, is written down together with its shape and its attributes, for example a name, a type, or a population. The language is a toolbox rather than a fixed list of objects: communities and organizations define their own application schemas on top of it, which is how national mapping data, cadastral records, and the data of 3D city models are exchanged. GML is also the standard way for web map services to return features.
What are JP2 files?
JP2 or JPEG 2000 is an improved version of JPEG, one of the most popular file formats for storing and transferring images. Compared to the latter, JP2 image files offer higher quality and smaller size images by using a different compression algorithm, which can be either lossy or lossless. JP2s are created using the JPEG2000 Core Coding application, but can also be obtained through conversion from other formats.
