OpenGIS Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) | Agrisemantics Map of Data Standards

PLEASE HELP US BY COMPLETING A QUICK SURVEY ON THE USE OF THIS MAP: click here

The OpenGIS® Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from one or more distributed geospatial databases. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc) that can be displayed in a browser application. The interface also supports the ability to specify whether the returned images should be transparent so that layers from multiple servers can be combined or not.
