Simple Features – specification for vector data storage (by Open Geospatial Consortium) that can be used in a GML container; GeoJSON – open, lightweight format based on JSON, used by many open source GIS packages; GeoMedia – Microsoft Access based format for spatial vector storage (by Intergraph)
Vector tiles, tiled vectors or vectiles [1] are packets of geographic data, packaged into pre-defined roughly-square shaped "tiles" for transfer over the web. This is an emerging method for delivering styled web maps, combining certain benefits of pre-rendered raster map tiles with vector map data.
A simple vector map, using each of the vector elements: points for wells, lines for rivers, and a polygon for the lake A vector dataset (sometimes called a feature dataset) stores information about discrete objects, using an encoding of the vector logical data model to represent the location or geometry of each object, and an encoding of its ...
A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...
The schema defines data and metadata tables with specified definitions, integrity assertions, format limitations and content constraints. [9] The GeoPackage standard describes a set of conventions (requirements) for storing vector features, tile matrix sets of imagery and raster maps at various scales, schema and metadata.
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.
A seamless table enables a single layer in a map to be derived from multiple base data sets, such as a mosaic of raster image tiles. When MapInfo Professional creates a seamless table it makes a simple vector layer which contains a rectangle for each base data set with attribute data defining the file path to the files containing the base data.
Tile Map Service or TMS, is a specification for tiled web maps, developed by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation.The definition generally requires a URI structure which attempts to fulfill REST principles.
