A Web Map Context Document specifies how a specific grouping of
one or more maps coming from one or more
Web Map Services can
be described in a portable format for storage, use and reuse
within and between clients.
A Web Map Context Document can:
-
Provide default views for particular users and applications
-
Save the state of a viewer client during a session
-
Allow a view saved from one client to be used within a different
client to view the same content
This specification is designed to work with the
Web Map Service, but
can be used by a broad range of services providing content in the
form of a catalog, for
WMS layers. Context
documents can also be catalogued and discovered, and are
analogous to 'projects' in common desktop GIS applications.
