The rapid emerging of mobile Internet provides new opportunities for information services. One of the service types is tied to mobile location technology that allows defining the geographical location of a mobile user. It enables the development of new class geographical information services. Location-based applications require careful development of the general architecture as well as a data format for information transfer due to restrictions of mobile devices and wireless data networks. In this paper, we examined a use of different format types in mobile information services for the representation of geographical information. Then, we propose to use an XML-based data model language for geographical information description in such systems. We describe the logical structure for the new format and basic tags. We expect our format helps in effective development of geographical applications for the mobile environment.
