Mineral Resources On-Line Spatial Data

The Open Geospatial Consortium provides a specification for serving geographic information through the web as georeferenced images; this is called the Web Map Service specification. In addition to providing a visible representation of selected geospatial data, it allows the scientific attributes of the data to be queried geographically. The services listed below conform to the WMS specification version 1.1.1.
