Introduction<br />

This guide provides descriptions and examples for the developer who is writing<br />

applications that access the <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong>.<br />

The <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong> lets an application render layers of geographic data onto<br />

a map image. The OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong> <strong>Service</strong> standard<br />

(version 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 located at www.opengeospatial.org/specs) defines<br />

how a client can retrieve map images over the Internet or a private intranet by<br />

submitting requests through HTTP. <strong>Product</strong>s that can use results from an OGC<br />

compliant WMS server will work with the <strong><strong>Map</strong>Info</strong> <strong>Spatial</strong> <strong>Server</strong> OGC <strong>Web</strong> <strong>Map</strong><br />

<strong>Service</strong>, such as <strong><strong>Map</strong>Info</strong> Professional and <strong>Map</strong>Xtreme or other vendor software.<br />
