[OSGeo-Discuss] Any plans for OGR fdo to support GML

[Raj Singh]

I recently had a cause to try this out. I wanted to translate GeoRSS  
GML. Turns out I couldn't do it until I changed the syntax to GML2  
format and threw some extra tags around the <gml:Polygon> element to  
make it more like a "real" piece of GML. You can grab my sample file  
from here (for a few days):
http://georss.mit.edu/basin_gml2.gml

Here's my command line run on that file:
prompt: ogrinfo basin_gml2.gml
Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `basin_gml2.gml'
       using driver `GML' successful.
1: type
2: shape
