Web Map Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] The specification was developed and first published by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 1999.[2]
