• (1st of September 2008): A new CityGML test dataset from the field of environmental simulation (noise immission mapping) has been made available! It employs the Noise Application Domain Extension explained in the CityGML specification document.
• (31th of August 2008): All CityGML test datasets are now also available in version 1.0.0 and 0.4.0!
• The XML schema documents and UML diagrams for CityGML 1.0.0 can be downloaded from the resources section.
• (20th of August 2008): The members of the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) have adopted version 1.0.0 of CityGML as an official OGC Standard (official OGC press release). Over the last 9 months the CityGML SWG has done a lot of work on finally bringing CityGML to an adopted international standard. Many thanks go to the members of the CityGML SWG, to the members of the SIG 3D, and to the whole CityGML community for the support and effort in making this happen.
  The final CityGML version 1.0.0 Standard document can be obtained from the CityGML section of the OGC web presence (direct document link). The CityGML XML Schema definition files will be published shortly by the OGC.
