This should be available for most Linux distros ("sudo apt-get install gdal-bin"). For Windows, go to http://fwtools.maptools.org/ and download "FWTools", install it and open up the FWTools command shell. During the format conversion we also want to ensure that the output has the correct coordinate projection (called EPSG:4326 with geographic longitude and latitude). For a more detailed reference of geographic coordinates, please refer to this site. If you have already reprojected the geographic data to the geographic latitude/longitude (EPSG:4326) system, there is no need to explicitly define the output coordinate system, assuming that ogr2ogr can determine the input spatial reference system. You can determine the spatial reference system by executing the following command. ogrinfo -al -so filename.shp - Assuming that the projection is reported to be EPSG:27700 by ogrinfo, we can transform it to EPSG by executing the following command. ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f GML filename.gml filename.shp + Assuming that the projection is reported to be EPSG:27700 by ogrinfo, we can transform it to EPSG:4326 by executing the following command. ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f GML filename.gml filename.shp If the geographic data is already in EPSG:4326, you can simply transform the shapefile to GML by executing the following command. - ogr2ogr -s_srs EPSG:27700 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f GML filename.gml filename.shp + ogr2ogr -f GML filename.gml filename.shp You will find the created GML file in the same folder as the shapefile. Step 3 - Prepare the GML file
