OGC WMS (Web Map Service)

WMS is the Open Geospatial Consortium standard for requesting map images over HTTP. A client asks a server for a rendered map of a named layer, in a named coordinate system, for a given bounding box, and the server returns an image. Version 1.3.0 is also published as ISO 19128, and its GetCapabilities document is a self-describing machine-readable catalog of everything the service offers.
