> (OGC®) is seeking public comment on a Geography Markup Language
> (GML) XML encoding for describing the characteristics of a moving
> object, such as a GPS enabled car. This candidate standard provides a
> way of describing in simple terms the motion of an object, such as a
> car driving through city streets or a person walking in a park.

> This candidate standard fills a need for "lightweight" packets of
> tracking information, such as direction and velocity that can be
