+==== WMS Client ====
-===== WMS Server =====
+OpenLayers - JavaScript client for web. Uses extended WMC support library developed by met.no.
-NcWMS - [[http://www.resc.rdg.ac.uk/trac/ncWMS/]]
+[[http://openlayers.org/]]
-===== GetCapabilities =====
+==== WMS Server ====
+NcWMS - integrated with THREDDS. Cannot render shapes, only grids.
+[[http://www.resc.rdg.ac.uk/trac/ncWMS/]]
+MapServer - used on wms.met.no for displaying coastlines
+[[http://mapserver.org/]]
+==== METAMOD WMC generator ====
+Perl proxy/web service. Merges GetCapabilities and WMSsetup file using XSLT. Also works as proxy to get around security limitations in JavaScript.
+===== Protocols and formats =====
+==== WMS ====
+The OpenGIS® Web Map Service Interface Standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from one or more distributed geospatial databases. A WMS request defines the geographic layer(s) and area of interest to be processed. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc) that can be displayed in a browser application.
