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the original Wiki document it was based upon: [wiki:MapContextHowto] (but be aware that this document is now considered out of date).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.
