Hi. Jason took a look on my files and it appears actually that some .dbf files were corrupted. This could happen as he says when opening a .dbf file with Excel than saving it again with this software.
I've been able to correctly run ogr2ogr command with new .dbf files taken from the source and generate the appropriate .gml files. It might be interesting for this task to get tools for checking integrity of shapefiles, any idea ? Thank you for your help.
