About

KML became an OGC standard with version 2.2. The schema imports the Atom author/link elements and the OASIS xAL address schema, both included here.

Good to know

  • Google extensions in the gx: namespace are not part of the OGC schema; documents that use them may be reported invalid.
  • KMZ files are zip archives; unzip and validate the doc.kml inside.

Files

The validator loads all of these with their folder structure, so includes and imports resolve as published.
