My ground network is very, very simple: one gate, two nodes, and two arcs that connect the nodes in forward and reverse directions. The parking.xml file was created by hand. I have posted it in the thread named "FlightGear AI aircraft doesn't fly".
I searched the FlightGear documentation for information about the process of creating the ground network. The only reference I found was that the "taxidraw" application can create ground networks. Trouble was, the version that I downloaded could not. Maybe the latest bleeding-edge version of taxidraw can, but you would need to compile that yourself. I've never had much success compiling FlightGear applications from source, so I gave up on taxidraw. Instead, I copied a parking.xml from KSFO and edited it by hand. Right now I'm trying to get AI aircraft flying around my local airport (YMML), so I needed only a simple ground network to do it. Once I have sorted out how to fly AI aircraft I will enhance the ground network.
