Hello,
for GML translation, it can be interesting to noticed that there is a GML 2
read/write support available with Safe's FME® and FME® Objects solutions.
http://www.safe.com/press/gml2solution.htm
I am only at the beginning of my knowledge in GML, but it seems to be a
promising format for geodata : an open standard XML format and a common
denominator format for geodata exchange. Text-based, it is human-readable.
XML-oriented, it takes benefit of all recent XML technologies.
There are many things to say about this format.

might find some (preferably free) or be able to help me get in contact with
someone who could help me?

geographical information.
