Technical framework and standard for view services
Our map and image view services are based on the standardized call interfaces Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) developed by The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). WMS is also an ISO standard (ISO 19128).
The Open Geospatial Consortium website (new window)
The services are of the nature 'question-answer', where the consumer (user's system) sends a service call over the Internet and receives a map image in a standard image format or in a vector format for certain types of services.
The characteristics of the map image are defined by the call parameters, such as information type, geographical spread, reference system, image format and image size.
There are many client applications for display services or components for integration into own system available. In addition to commercial products, there are a number of established products based on open source code, such as QGIS.
At OSGeo, The Open Source Geospatial Foundation you can read more about software in the field of geodata that are based on open source code.
