FAQ
MAPML to DWF Conversion
What are MAPML files?
MAPML (Map Markup Language) is a text format for maps on the web, designed to work like HTML does for web pages. A MapML document describes a map layer in readable markup: the tiles of a background map, or points, lines, and polygons with their descriptions, and it can link to other maps and layers the way a web page links to other pages. The goal of the format is to make maps a native part of the web, so that a map can be placed on a page with a single tag, without any special programming, and so that search engines and assistive technologies can understand it. It is developed by the Maps for HTML Community Group of the W3C and is still an experimental proposal, but it is already used in services such as those of Natural Resources Canada and in GeoServer.
What are DWF files?
DWF (Design Web Format) is a file format associated with Autodesk and its function is mainly that of facilitating the transfer of information related to a design project. As opposed to DWG files, the proprietary format of AutoCAD, DWF are more compressed and smaller in size. They can translate complicated structures related to architectural designs or engineering into a series of sheets that are easy to view and print.
