KMLi

KMLi is a term used in several technology contexts, but it does not refer to a single, widely recognized standard or product. The letters often arise as an extension or variation of KML (Keyhole Markup Language), and in some contexts the “i” is read as “implementation,” “interactive,” or “extension.” Because there is no formal standard under the name KMLi, meanings vary by publisher and field.

In geographic information systems, KMLi may appear as a vendor-specific extension of the KML schema, intended to add features not present in the official KML specification, such as enhanced styling, interactivity, or data subsetting. In software development, KMLi can denote a lightweight library or toolset aimed at parsing, validating, or rendering KML data, often packaged as part of a larger GIS or mapping toolkit. Some projects may use KMLi as a product name rather than a technical term.

Because the term is not standardized, readers encountering KMLi should consult the surrounding documentation to determine its exact meaning, scope, and limitations. The official KML format is defined by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the KML reference is maintained by Google; any claim of compatibility or extension under the KMLi name should be evaluated against those sources.
