<strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong><br />
Capabilities<br />
The <strong><strong>Map</strong>Info</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong> supports three capabilities which<br />
are described in detail in this section.<br />
In accordance with the Open GIS Consortium's <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong> Implementation<br />
Specification, the <strong><strong>Map</strong>Info</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Server</strong> WMS provides the following operations:<br />
GetCapabilities – This capability retrieves service-level metadata including the<br />
server name, the layer names, abstracts about the data, and the valid request<br />
parameters.<br />
Get<strong>Map</strong> – This capability is used to request a map image using well-defined<br />
geospatial and dimensional parameters containing layers, styles, boundaries,<br />
and the spatial reference system (coordinate system of the data being retrieved).<br />
You can also specify the image format (JPEG, GIF, PNG, and others) and styles.<br />
GetFeatureInfo – This capability is used to request information for a feature at<br />
a given point on the map after a Get<strong>Map</strong> has been called.<br />
All of these request types are case-sensitive.<br />
