|---|---|---|
| 1:Distribution of compiled mapping (raster) data between applications. | OGC 04-024 (ISO 19128:2005), Web Map Service v.1.3
Fading (Dec 2012): v1.0.0, v1.1.0, and v1.1.1 OGC 05-078r4, OpenGIS Styled Layer Descriptor Profile of the Web Map Service (SLD) v.1.1.0 OGC 07-057r7, OpenGIS Web Map Tile Service Implementation Standard (WMTS) v.1.0.0 Emerging: Dec 2013 |
WMTS are to be provided as a complimentary service to WMS to ease access to users operating in bandwidth constraint environments. WMTS trades the flexibility of custom map rendering for the scalability possible by serving of static data (base maps) where the bounding box and scales have been constrained to discrete tiles which enables the use of standard network mechanisms for scalability such as distributed cache systems to cache images between the client and the server, reducing latency and bandwidth use. |
| 2:Distribution of geo feature (vector) data between applications | OGC 04-094, Web Feature Service (WFS) v.1.1.
OGC 06-049r1, GML Simple Feature Profil (GML 3.1.1) v.1.0.0 Compliance Level 0 OGC 04-095, Filter Encoding v.1.1 |

message
OGC 07-110r4, CSW-ebRIM Registry Service - Part 1: ebRIM profile of CSW v.1.0.1 |
