Definition of a repository-catalogue of styles (Style Layer Descriptor) of cartographic representation of different geographic features, based on normalized symbols of different organizations

Abstract:

The present article deals with the definition of a repository-catalogue of styles applicable to the cartographic representation of different geographic features, based on the normalized symbols of the different Cartographic Organizations, such as «Instituto Geográfico Nacional», «Ministerio de Medio Ambiente», «Instituto Nacional de Estadística», etc. The catalogue will allow a quick, choice and a simple identification of the several styles used by these acknowledged institutions.We describe a repository for storage of the individualized styles applicable to the geographic features, in which the capability of insertion, deletion, and update of new styles is made available. The repository must act as a catalogue wherein style searching and downloading may be carried out.One of the applications of the repository-catalogue is the generation of styles in Style Layer Descriptor (SLD) format, in order for them to be visualized by means of Web Map Services according to OGC.
