Google Base (originally at base.google.com - site defunct) was a 2005-era attempt to structure website data using XML for duplicate upload to Google's servers.
Historical About
Original "about" description by Google:
Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content, which we'll make searchable on Google (if your content isn't online yet, we'll put it there). You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they do related searches. In fact, based on your items' relevance, users may find them in their results for searches on Froogle, Google Maps and even our main Google web search.
