FAQ
JML to DIS Conversion
What are JML files?
JML is the native vector format of OpenJUMP, a free GIS written in Java. The name stands for JUMP Geographic Markup Language, and the file is a text document in XML that stores one map layer: its points, lines, and polygons, together with a table of attributes for each object, such as names, numbers, and dates. It is a simplified variant of the GML standard, with the difference that the description of the attribute fields is placed at the beginning of the file itself, so the file can be opened without any extra template or schema. OpenJUMP grew out of JUMP, a project of Vivid Solutions, the authors of the widely used geometry library JTS, and JML files are still the easiest way to save and share layers between OpenJUMP users.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
