Google Earth 旋風 The Storm of Google Earth 林峰田 教授 國立成功大學都市計劃學系兼任特聘教授 ftlin@.tw 一、 KML語法 (Syntax) 2005年Google Map/Earth (/)的問世，為GIS界丟下了一顆震撼彈，引發了「地景模擬」(landscape simulation)技術的蓬勃發展，目前已有不少的國內外類似產品問世。它提供了一個豐富而簡易的網路地圖查詢系統。尤有進者，它讓使用者可以將自己的資料和Google Earth的資料相結合，可以利用Google Earth提供的地圖當底圖，由使用者自己來建置自己的資料，成為民眾參與的一項強而有力的溝通工具。 In 2005, Google Map/Earth was lunched. They created a new era for landscape simulation. GIS became an easy and cheap tool for users to create their own maps. It is a powerful tool for public participation. Google Earth 使用的語法是 KML (Keyhole Markup Language)，也可以讀取KMZ (KML的壓縮檔格式)。KML與GML(Geographic Markup Language)的語言十分接近，雖然二者的目的不同，但是我們可以先從KML入手，再談它與GML有何差別。 Google Earth uses KML (Keyhole Markup Language) and KMZ (a compressed file format of KML). The syntax of KML is very similar to that of GML (Geographic Markup Language). GML is an international standard of GIS data exchange format. However, KML is much simpler than GML. We may learn KML first to get some basic ideas which will help us to study GML. 附錄是台大農業陳列館立體模型的原始程式碼(NTUAgriMuseum.KML)。不過，我用InnerBoundaryIs標記把它挖了個洞。要記得以UTF-8編碼格式存檔(以顯示中文)，副檔名是 .KML。檔名及所在位置之路徑也都不要有中文。 Appendix shows the source code of the Agriculture Museum of National Taiwan University. However, I use InnerBoundaryIs markup to dig a hole on it. Please use UTF-8 to save the file for showing Chinese characters, and use .KML as extension. 以下KML的相關網站可供參考 (KML website): KML的初階教本(tutorial)：/kml/kml_tut.html 【作業KML-1】 請試著消去台大農業陳列館的洞。 (注意：重新載入新檔案之前，要記得從Google Earth左方的Places中消去原先的資料或不選取，本例為NTU Agri. Museum，再載入新的模型檔案，以免新舊模型重疊。) Please eliminate the hole on the Agriculture Museum of National Taiwan University. Before loading the revised file, you have to delete or un-check the original file. 【作業KML-2】 台大人類學系及哲學系座標如下。假設建物高度為10(公尺)。請加到NTUAgriMuseum.KML程式檔案的適當位置。於Google Earth上可以看到台大洞洞館建築群之立體模型。 Please add two buildings. Their coordinates are shown below. The height of these two buildings is assumed to be 10 meters. 台大人類學系系館四隅經緯度座標 12
