Reader Overview

This reader supports CityGML datasets conforming to the CityGML 2.0, 1.0, 0.4.0, and 0.3.1 application schemas.

The CityGML reader reads all parts of the Thematic and Appearance CityGML models with the exception of the Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) ImplicitGeometry and xlink:href resolution.

To read datasets that contain Application Domain Extension (ADE) elements other than those that belong in NoiseADE, the parameter Reader Driven by CityGML Schema must be set to Yes.

In addition, the dataset must contain a schemaLocation attribute and its values must contain valid full or relative schema paths. Alternatively, schema files for the ADE can be specified in the parameter Additional ADE Schema File(s) if schemaLocation is not present.

For more details, see CityGML Reader Parameters.
