3. Principles Today’s demo illustrates the service of maps from multiple servers to a single web browser window where data can be viewed together.
Such multi-server interfaces can be implemented within an organization, across multiple agencies, or to a full public audience.
4. OGC Web Mapping Services This demonstration shows only the use of the OGC Web Mapping Service Specification 1.0 – a simple map service
Several OGC members including ESRI, MapInfo, AutoDesk, and Intergraph provide WMS-compliant solutions for map service that have additional service capabilities
Open-source software also exists for experimentation and small-scale service
5. OGC Web Map Specification getCapabilities – retrieves the map server information including layer names, styles, and projections supported
getMap – requests a picture of a certain size and format to the client (JPEG, GIF, PNG)
getFeatureInfo – allows query of feature behind map server and returns attributes to client
