<br>
Also consider OGC GeoPackage, which Spatialite implements and
which I'm pretty sure ArcGIS supports.<br>
<br>
With GML being the official Govt standard specified in MIOS, if
the people you need to share with are in SA Govt they should be
able to use GML or if not, they'd have to make a plan. <br>
<br>
Or publish in Geoserver and let clients choose whatever format
their software prefers, e.g. as a live KML feed for GE or a live
shapefile feed for ArcGIS. <br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Charles
ArcGIS can work with GML, but requires the Data Interoperability extension. (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://resources.arcgis.com/EN/HELP/MAIN/10.2/index.html#//003700000004000000">http://resources.arcgis.com/EN/HELP/MAIN/10.2/index.html#//003700000004000000</a>)
ArcGIS also has the capability to convert to and from JSON. (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//001200000059000000">http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//001200000059000000</a>)
Not so sure if that functionality is available in Google Earth too.

Subject: [OSGeo Africa] Formats for sharing map data with Google Earth
Just a quick question on map formats — will Google Earth accept geoJSON or GML map data? Also, does ArcGIS accept these formats as well? I ask this as I don’t have these two packages installed but have a piece of work where I will have to share my output with people who don’t necessarily use these wonderful open standards (I am especially partial to geoJSON).
Thanks a lot, QGIS/PostGIS still rocking my world!
