Symbol Library Service

Under investigation
Description
 

The Symbol Library Service provides access to symbol definitions that are used in the graphical portrayal of geo-spatial information. A symbol (also called a "graphic" in OGC) is a meaningless (it is not associated a priori with any feature type) graphical drawing with an identity. Two symbols are distinct if they have distinct identities. Symbols with identical appearance but having different identities are regarded as different symbols.

The Symbol Library Service provides operations for the access to and management of collections of symbols.
