Re: SVG and GIS

[rs]

Here is some interesting work (paper and examples)
re: SVG and mapping.
"The mailing list for cartographers dealing with SVG"
http://www.carto.net/papers/svg/mail_e.html

Here are two companies I know of who have made
a committment to incorporating SVG into their GIS products:
http://www.ionicsoft.com
http://www.galdosinc.com

In response to James Macgill's comments about SVG vs. GML, 
SVG is better than GML when:
a) you want to store information about the output environment
along with the data (e.g. paper size, resolution, etc.)
b) you want to store information about how to symbolize the 
data (coming soon to OpenGIS specs, but not there now)
