KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is an XML-based language for managing the display of three-dimensional geospatial data in Google Earth, Google Maps,Google Mobile, ArcGIS Explorer, and WorldWind. (The word Keyhole is an earlier name for the software that became Google Earth; the software was produced by Keyhole, Inc, which was acquired by Google in 2004. The term "Keyhole" actually honors the KH reconnaissance satellites, the original eye-in-the-sky military reconnaissance system now some 30 years old.)
