Client Objectives:
We wanted to showcase how we can transform raw xml data into geo-located popups within Google Earth. Visualizing this set of data in conjunction to other default sets of data for example Google Earth’s Parks and Recreation Areas make data more accessible and useful.
Our Proposal:
We intend to use our in-house tools to automatically transform the raw xml data through our transformation engine quickly and accurately.
