Yes, it's the "Marble Virtual Globe". The term "KDE Marble" might be partially misleading since Marble doesn't require KDE or KDE libraries as a hard dependency. The only most basic requirement of Marble itself is Qt. You can reach us via our mailing lists, IRC channel, web forums or social networks: http://edu.kde.org/marble/support.php > * Choosing XML for this does not make sense to me, since human > readability has low priority.

If you come up with a better approach we might add it later on :-) BR, Torsten > There exists the WFS standard from OGC > which covers this. > The use case here demands performance so we should think about a > compact slim format like GeoJSON - or even more compressed. > * Problem: Since we are speaking about "vector tiling" it's > unavoidable that polygons are clipped, which makes me wonder on how > the client is informed and how he should deal with this? > > @Michael: > * In the website you refer to [1] there's mentioned "Similar to kothic > js tile format": Why only "similar"?
