A Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 1999 for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet. [1] These images are typically produced by a map server from data provided by a GIS database.
Catalogue Service for the Web (CSW), sometimes seen as Catalogue Service - Web, is a standard for exposing a catalogue of geospatial records in XML on the Internet (over HTTP). The catalogue is made up of records that describe geospatial data (e.g. KML ), geospatial services (e.g. WMS ), and related resources.
WMS – Web Map Service: provides map images; WMTS – Web Map Tile Service: provides map image tiles; WPS – Web Processing Service: remote processing service; Simple Features Access, first approved in 1999, was the first full OGC Standard. Shortly after, a series of standards based on the HTTP web services paradigm for message-based ...

A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered or run-time computed georeferenced map tiles over the Internet. The specification was developed and first published by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 2010.
Leaflet supports Web Map Service (WMS) layers, GeoJSON layers, Vector layers and Tile layers natively. Many other types of layers are supported via plugins.. Like other web map libraries, the basic display model implemented by Leaflet is one basemap, plus zero or more translucent overlays, with zero or more vector objects displayed on top.
Unlike the OGC Web Map Service (WMS), which portrays spatial data as static, server-rendered images (maps), the Web Coverage Service delivers underlying data values along with their detailed descriptions. This enables a rich syntax for queries against the data and returns information with its original semantics, rather than just pictures ...
