GML, or Geography Markup Language, is an XML-based language used for expressing geographical features. Developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), GML is used to model, transport, and store geographic information.

In the internal codification of a GML file, generally is stored the type of element. This classification is often not taken into consideration, but it can be very helpful for sorting elements or separate them into layers.

Also it can be used to split GML files into multiple ones:

  1. Execute SPMIMPORT selecting “Use Field values for layer=ItemType”
  2. Execute SPMEXPORT, select a specific layer and select the output GML location (or any other format)
  3. Repeat for getting each file for the desired types
