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". During the format conversion we also want to ensure that the output has the correct coordinate projection (called EPSG:4326 with regular longitude and latitude). We can do this with the "-t_srs" flag (means "transform spatial reference system"). The command syntax is: "ogr2ogr -t_srs output_proj -f output_format output_file.output_format input_file.input_format". Now, if we have a shapefile called "sl_districts" and want to convert it to GML, use the following command: ogr2ogr -t_srs EPSG:4326 -f GML sl_districts.gml sl_districts.shp You will find the created GML file in the same folder as the shapefile. + The recommended tool for geographical format conversions is called "ogr2ogr".
