Frequently Asked Queries
Will complex spatial attributes be saved?
GML schemas translate GML features into standard database tables, mapping variables into standard text elements.
How do of coordinate references apply?
The parsing system reads coordinates based on the SRS parameter in the XML and projects them for global web mapping suitability.
Are multiple coordinate definitions supported?
Yes, standard spatial geometries like lines and polygons are mapped during the conversion.
