Keyhole Markup Language (KML) File
The Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file format, originally created by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), is a widely used standard for storing and sharing geospatial information. KML files are essential for visualizing geographic data in applications like Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, ArcGIS, QGIS, and other mapping platforms.
Main Features of KML Files
- XML-Based Format: KML files use an easy-to-edit XML structure to define geographic features such as points, paths, polygons, and 3D models for interactive mapping projects.
- Broad Compatibility: KML files are fully supported across popular GIS and CAD applications, enabling seamless data sharing, visualization, and analysis across multiple platforms.
- Rich Media Support: Embed images, videos, links, and other multimedia elements inside KML placemarks and descriptions to create dynamic and informative maps.

Inventor File
The IV format is a 3D graphics file standard developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) for representing complete 3D scenes. As a text-based format, it stores hierarchical scene graphs containing geometric shapes, materials, lighting, textures, and environment properties. Closely tied to the Open Inventor toolkit, this format served as a foundational C++ library for 1990s 3D graphics development.
Key Features of IV
- File Structure: Uses human-readable ASCII encoding with nested node hierarchies that organize 3D scene elements.
- Format Origin: Developed by Silicon Graphics in the early 1990s as the native file format for their Open Inventor 3D graphics toolkit.
- Scene Representation: Implements a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure to define parent-child relationships between 3D objects.
- Visual Attributes: Stores comprehensive material definitions including ambient/diffuse/specular colors, shininess, and transparency.
- Texture Mapping: Supports both procedural and image-based textures with UV coordinate mapping.
