Blue Marble’s GeoMapServer is OGC Compliant

Blue Marble Geographics (ME, USA) has announced that GeoMapServer, its off-the-shelf version of BeyondGeo Internet Mapping technology, is now fully OGC compliant. GeoMapServer is a complete re-write of the BeyondGeo MapServer that has been developed according to the Open GIS Consortium (OGC) specification.

GeoMapServer has been officially certified with the OGC’s Open GIS Web Map Service 1.1.1. Being fully OpenGIS compliant allows GIS users to share and reuse data, improve the quality of information, and reduce the need to rely on one vendor. As a software vendor that creates tools known for complementing other mapping tools, this certification is a natural fit for Blue Marble. Implementation of this spec allows GeoMapServer to work with any OGC compliant GIS. So users of standard GIS desktops can readily accesses data served to the Internet via GeoMapServer.
