- Description
- A KML (Keyhole Markup Language File) is a plaintext file format used to display geographic data in an Earth browser such as Google Earth, Google Maps, and MapQuest. KML files specify various geographic information, including points, lines, images, polygons, and models, along with attributes like descriptions, place marks, and camera angles. This format, which is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language), allows users to not only visualize but also navigate through locations and structures.
- A tab-separated values (TSV) file is a simple text format for storing data in a tabular structure, e.g., database table or spreadsheet data, and a way of exchanging information between databases.
