KML

[alnopa9]

When we eventually get everything marked up, we will need to create a map. Now, we could do this by looking at each file one at a time to get the needed information OR we could use XQuery and XSLT. We went over what XSLT does very briefly in the last team meeting, but I wanted to give you two some reading material on it. Don't forget to get your 10 XML files done for this week, too!

@alnopa9 @James-f117 @abdual1100 Hey all! The KML tutorials are good to look at, but I'm about to be updating my exercise on NewtFire! I found an easier and better way to "scrape" the geocoordinate data so our method doesn't have to be so complicated as the one I posted in that XQuery Exercise. So I'll be rewriting this to query Open Street Maps. What I learned is that Open Street Maps stores data in XML--it's actually not KML from what I can see, but it's simple and super-informative XML. I posted about this on an old project proposal here: ebeshero/DHClass-Hub#604 (comment) and you can see what kind of information is available!
