SLD is a language; at least some non-WMS tools can read SLD, and style WFS vectors according to it. (OpenLayers can do this; I'm sure that other client software can as well.) Insofar as such a thing exists, SLD is the primary standards based way of communicating styling information regarding a set of data. Some WMS servers are capable of using SLD as their style descriptions; I believe both MapServer and GeoServer can do this. However, other clients can as well. > > >>> answers! :-) To my defense for this OSGeo-unrelated question, we do >>> process and serve all the related geodata using OSGeo software! ;-) >> >> Which software? > > Since you're asking.. still the same project already mentioned on this > list: providing Canadian weather information with web maps and standard > web services. Our (fully working) prototypes use MapFish, OpenLayers > GDAL/OGR. (we also use other OSGeo software for other projects) Hm, I guess my question was unclear; I was curious what software you were using for WMS/WFS. GeoServer uses SLD as the primary styling configuration on the server, for example. > > Cheers, > > Alex > -- > Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing. > Environnement Canada / Environment Canada > Centre météorologique canadien / Canadian Meteorological Centre > Section de la réponse aux urgences environnementales / > Environmental Emergency Response Section > alexandre.ler...@ec.gc.ca > > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss -- Christopher Schmidt Web Developer _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
