Atom metadata is used to provide data about the author, and point to a related website. This information is used by Google for inclusion in GeoSearch results. To specify the author name & email, use the ATOM_AUTHOR_NAME and ATOM_AUTHOR_EMAIL directives. The ATOM_LINK_HREF directive can be used to specify the url of the website that will contain the KML file.
