Questions tagged [wms]

A Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet that are generated by a map server using data from a GIS database.

WMS specifies a number of different request types, two of which are required by any WMS server:

  • GetCapabilities - returns parameters about the WMS and the available layers
  • GetMap - with parameters provided, returns a map image

Request types that WMS providers may optionally support include:

  • GetFeatureInfo
  • DescribeLayer
  • GetLegendGraphic
