Starting with version 3.7, !MapServer supports OGC Web Map Context specification.

== Definition ==

A map context is an XML document that

  • describes the appearance of layers from one or more WMS servers
  • can be transferred between clients
    • maintains startup views, the state of the view (and its layers), and stores additional layer information.

== Documentation ==

  • See the Mapserver Map Context HOWTO: http://www.mapserver.org/ogc/mapcontext.html
  • or the original Wiki document it was based upon: [wiki:MapContextHowto] (but be aware that this document is now considered out of date).
  • See also the WMSMapServer page about OGC WMS client and server support.
