C OGC WMS Support in the Map Visualization Component

The map visualization component supports the rendering of data delivered using the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) Web Map Service (WMS) protocol, specifically the WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 implementation specifications.

The map visualization component supports the GetMap, GetFeatureInfo, and GetCapabilities requests as defined in the OGC document 01-068r3 and 06-042.

The map visualization component does not currently support the optional Styled Layer Descriptor capability, and map visualization component will not function as a Cascading Map Server in this release.

• Setting Up the WMS Interface for the Map Visualization Component
  The map visualization component is preconfigured to run as a WMS service.
• WMS Specification and Corresponding Map Visualization Component Concepts
  This section describes the association between, or interpretation of, terms and concepts used in the WMS 1.1.1 and 1.3.0 specifications and the map visualization component.
• Adding a WMS Map Theme
  You can add a WMS map theme to the current map request. The WMS map theme is the result of a GetMap request, and it becomes an image layer in the set of layers (themes) rendered by the map visualization component.
