{% hint style="info" %}
GML includes attributes which describe the geometry of the features; this is not applicable to shapefile files as they are separated by their geometry. 

The use of an asterisk symbol (\*) in the table indicates that a particular attribute is not mapped in a format.
{% endhint %}
