Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML notation for expressing geographic
annotation and visualization within two-dimensional maps and three-dimensional
Earth browsers (Wikipedia).

The KML format is an Open Geospatial Consortium standard. The KML format was originally developed for use with Google Earth (which was originally named Keyhole Earth Viewer).
