WMS 1.1.1

WMS 1.1.1 (Web Map Service) is a standard protocol developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium that allows users to request and receive map images over the internet. It enables clients to visualize geospatial data without needing to download large files, by sending simple requests to a server that generates map images based on specified parameters like area, layers, and styles. WMS 1.1.1 ensures compatibility between different mapping services and applications, facilitating seamless integration and sharing of geographic information across platforms.
