Create a space-time KML file

Reads a comma separated value (*.csv) file providing details of the location and timing of events and returns a space-time KML file suitable for display using Google Earth. The input *.csv file should consist of four named columns: oid (object identifier, numeric), event date (date of event, DD/MM/YYYY), longitude (numeric), and latitude (numeric). Typical input data would be as follows:


            oid
            edate
            lon
            lat

3, 1/11/1967, -3.0985, 52.8983
