Google Joins OGC
Andena from All Points Blog notes that Google has become a principal member of the Open Geospatial Consortium. I wonder what this might mean for Google Earth and Google Maps, as none of them supports any OGC standards yet (at least as far as I know).
Just a short off-topic note: There were problems with some of our feeds after upgrading to Wordpress 2.0, but they should be fixed now. If you still have problems, let us know!

As far as I know Google Earth uses the Keyhole Markup Language (KML), which is an XML vocabulary for geospatial data, just as GML. Concequently, GML formated data can be transformed (via XSLT) to KML and vise versa. I know of some experiments to do so. Basically visualisations of data from a WFS can be already done. For the future I expect some stronger harmonisation between these two formats.
