'''KML''' ('''K'''eyhole '''M'''arkup '''L'''anguage) is an XML-based schema for managing 3D geospatial data in the program [[Google Earth]] (previously called Keyhole before it was bought up by google). KML files are often distributed as KMZ, zipped KML files. The KML file specifies a placemark for Google Earth. It contains a basic description of the place, [[longitude]], [[latitude]], [[tilt]] and some other information. KML files serve a similar purpose as worldwind:// urls in NASA [[World Wind]] but contains more information than just the longitude and latitude.
Example KML document
